What would u do if your mechanic raced your car.

[TIGERJC]

aight here it goes. my car has been down for 2 months and i just got a new stage 2 clutch installed. So this morninbg in lawernceville i went to go pick up my car and before i drove it home. i wanted him to give me a test drive so that i new everything was working ok. we then headed out and came to a light. where me and him were talking and right next to us is a 00-02 mustang gt revving its engine. so i thought nothing of it and looked at the light. Green and my car F^&*ING takes off and im like wtf. we pilled 3 cars before the gt shut down. i didnt know how to express myself towards my machanic and i just left with my mouth open.if my clutch F'S up im really gonna be piss. but i want to know how should i had reacted to him for what he did??

O yea the gt got spanked by a mr2 at 10 psi

[PSINXS]

u should have hit him in the throat. twice

[A.P. Photography]

That is really up to you and how cool you are with the mechanic. Personally I would be upset.

[SLOWR/T]

dude i would have went off on his ass!!! he wouldnt be my mechanic after that for sure

[civic95]

He should know that your supposed to be easy on the clutch during break in period of 500 miles. I wouldn't take my car back there.

[TIGERJC]

i didnt expect that, he told me to be easy on my clutch and then he does that shit wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will talk to him about it tomorrow

[imbosile]

damn what a dumbass, i would have told him if it F's up in the next few days that he can replace it for free for that dumbass move.

[SilverStoneZ]

I would have gotten him to sign some kind of liability agreement stating that if any problems arise due to his negligence he would be liable for the cost of any and all repairs including parts and labor. But like someone posted before depends on how cool you are with him.

FIRST, I THINK U SHOULD HAVE TEST DRIVEN IT. THEN WHEN TH STANG REVVED, told him not to do anything., or when he was first starting to take u for the tes tdrive, tell him to go easy on it, u spent all that money on the car for it to drive like it does, and he (for free) gets to wnjoy it just like u? wrong. tell the supervisor/boss, if hes a personal mechanic, dont use him anymore.

[TIGERJC]

first time with the guy, whats the best way to break in a clutch driving on the street or highway???

personal mechanic and i totally aagree with u

The reason i let him test drive it first, is so that he can show me how i should drive with the new clutch, then i drove it afterwards around his area to see how it was driving and it was fine, then i headed home.

[Halfwit]

slowly build rpms over a couple of weeks, go easy on it.

[Halfwit]

personal mechanic and i totally aagree with u

thanks, but if he does that with u, think of what he will do with it when hes fixing it and ur away.!!!!!!

[IndianStig]

i would get him to apologize and replace the clutch if it messes up within the next few weeks

Drive it on the street normal. no excessive RPM's (redline) but just normal driving. One way to do it is to get on 285 late at night and make some laps getting off at different off ramps in various increments until you hit the 500 mark.

[TIGERJC]

what should i look for in clutch damage, if he did f it up

[carrascopa]

learn how to spell mechanic then we will talk

[A.P. Photography]

slipping, excessive jerking when releasing the clutch, etc.

Your car doesnt have a clutch so you don't ever have to worry about that.

[IndianStig]

wait i recall

tell him to ead and die cause hes inbred and then take his car

thats really not cool what he did

[imbosile]

Your car doesnt have a clutch so you don't ever have to worry about that.

yea it does you fucking moron.

[1439/2000]

yea it does you fucking moron.

Oh I thought you had an automatic 3g eclipse to take the cake.

But you're the moron with a 3g eclipse.

thats fine man, whatever you want to say i could care less. i like my car, and i don't like yours, so who really cares.

[1439/2000]

Awesome. I'm just saying, a mechanic would never race a gt in your car period. Because he would lose.

[imbosile]

yea i would hope a gt mustang would kill a gt eclipse, your shit talking gets old after about 5 minutes so can you just stop, i don't sit around trying to start shit with you so why can't you just do the same.

[1439/2000]

But its fun.

[YokotaS13]

u should have hit him in the throat. twice

should have done your own work, and you wuoldnt have had to worry about it

[DrivenMind]

That was pretty stupid on his behalf, that's a fast way to make a nice new clutch start slipping.

[HyPer50]

I wouldn't be too mad, assuming this is a mechanic I'm somewhat close to and trust... I know after I got the blower put on my car, Scotty the mechanic at Mustang Services took me out and absolutely tore up Canton Hwy... I came back with a big ass smile on my face. So as long as everything is still working ok, dont whine about it, I'm sure IF he broke anything on that test drive he'd of fixed it no questions asked.... Did you put your stage 2 clutch on to drive like a grandmother? no... didn't think so

[TIGERJC]

YO if i could do the work myself, trust me i would do it. but i wanted to break it in right, i alrady had a clutch go bad on me in 2-3 months

i dont want this:

[Marta Mike]

i was thinking the exact same thing-lol

No sitting at lights with the clutch engaged, either. Don't ride it, burn it, dump it, etc. Basically what he said.

[COGCaviZ24]

my mechanic raced my car too!! my machanic = me

[1439/2000]

What? Did you even read the thread? Is your car a manual?

And why did YOU race your car? It's slow too.

The thread is about a mechanic racing a car after the clutch just got put in.

[1439/2000]

haha

is imbosile JordanW? i swear it sounds so familiar

same tool

[COGCaviZ24]

yes i read it.yes,my car is a manual

[1439/2000]

yes i read it.yes,my car is a manual

Ok, so what did that have to do with anything?

You raced your car. Sick. The point is the mechanic could have damaged his clutch, not that somebody raced a car.
