My Kouki build. (First car, first project.)
Why don't you try and replace the fucked up parts, or fix the oil leaks in stead of using zip ties and duck tape..?

Excuse me for not having LARGE amounts of money to spend so immediately on all the screwed up parts for my car. Maybe your candy ass has loads of money from mommy and daddy to spend on whatever the hell you may drive, but I'm working this project on my own earnings, time, and labor.
Read the text before making stupid comments. I already said that I was going to fix the leak before anytyhing. The lights all work. Making sure this thing is running in good health is higher on the priority list than making it look pretty. I'm doing what I can here and there.

I don't have "LARGE" amounts of money from "Mommy and Daddy". I have a job and I work. I'm 23 and I also attend USF full time so nice try there pal. You already said that you got the car pretty much for free. In stead of ghetto rigging shit to semi-work why don't you invest some time into actually repairing that thing? I'm sure the money you spend on zip tie and duck tape maintenance could be better used buying a new front or rear main seal, or maybe a tube of permatex. A lot of the damage to that car is easily repairable if you aren't lazy and have a little ingenuity.
Get some brake dust cleaner, and spray that whole engine down, then hit it with a hose to clean off all the old oil, start her up and let her run for a bit, and then you can see where the new oil leaks are coming from.

And yeah, zip ties and duct tape are TOTALLY comparable, in price, to reinforcements, bumpers, and headlights. I'm not lazy. Money isn't easy to come by, and I already don't know a lot about cars. Getting money to replace the original, dead engine was enough hell on my shoulders.
Chill the fuck out and stop being such an ignorant prick. You sound incredibly stupid.

Thanks a lot. Should I cover up the alternator or distributor? Anything of the sort before I hose it all down?

Yea man, cover all your electrical stuff, spark plugs and everything. Make sure you get a good amount of the oil off or youll be chasing leaks forever. I love Koukis.

There you go, dude. You said it yourself. You're twenty-three, you work, and attend USF full time. This kid is eighteen, works, and attends USF full time. The only difference between you two is the fucking FOUR to FIVE extra years of life. Chill the fuck out. You have more experience, most likely a bigger paycheck, and judging by your attitude, less friends to hang out with to occupy your time. Before you go around flaming others for being "lazy," or "dumb," take the time to realize what an inconsiderate asshole you sound like. That kind of shit isn't appreciated here. Either help him out with some of your amazing wisdom, or shut the fuck up and move on.
