  1. As I honestly came countless times while watching this fucking amazing porn
    and now my semen is all over the screen, I just can’t see the number of
    dislikes coming from faggots and neglected poor wives who have extreme
    petrol head husbands like these guys.

  2. I would love to get my hands on a chassis of those old Skyline’s or Z’s,
    and take it to that guy in Japan, so he could throw in a new GTR Black
    Edition motor.

  3. taking cares of an old car can be somewhat frustrating because it requires
    skill, time, more expensive for the rare spare parts and most importantly
    your patience and love for the car…

  4. Eric you should make a video about finding electrical shorts with an
    ammeter and a circuit breaker it would be a big help thanks. and great
    videos!

  5. I have an electrical problem with my truck and I need help! The scan tools
    won’t connect with the computer on my 05 Silverado and this problem that
    seems to happen during the day, it will connect after dark 0.o I’ve checked
    fuses, voltage on the obd port and ohms on the grounds also, all these are
    normal. I took the ecm off today and done a visual, didn’t see or smell any
    shorts. No cel light, truck runs perfect. Any suggestions on where to go
    next besides a mechanic would be helpful. Ps. I tried to get my truck
    inspected and they couldn’t connect to my computer that’s how I found out
    about this problem. 3 scanners have been hooked to my truck and none of
    them worked except my scanner after dark, it didn’t connect during the day.
    they all got power but couldn’t connect. 

  6. @willie- The alternator is designed to maintain a charge, not to “revive or
    recharge” the car battery. What you have described below, is the fastest
    way to kill your alternator and require a replacement. If you batter is
    constantly dying, chances are you already need a new alternator. If your
    battery loses charge to the point where the car won’t start, you need to
    remove the battery and charge it before driving your car.

  7. did you say the alternator is there to recharge the battery but don’t
    consider it a battery charger? when i have a dead battery, i get a jump
    start and then run the car on the highway to charge the battery. Is that
    wrong?

  8. A powerful alternator? What does it actually do? Because all cars are 12v
    so what does it do? Or what if I make my battery more powerful, what would
    happen? But I added a few things to the car’s electrical system, Like a DVD
    player or more power 100-watt Light, and amplifier subwoofer, and angel
    eyes. Thanks

  9. “what you have to ask yourself is, do I feel lucky. Well do ya’ punk?”
    man! whatever reason you’re doing this for, i think it’s great good luck to
    your pocket! stay dirty!

  10. Hi, Can I make my car alternator more powerful for example, if it is
    90amps, can I change it to 110amps? Would it damage any electrical system
    or other? If I change it, would it be better or make no difference? Because
    my car is a BMW e46 316i 2004 and I feel like it doesn’t have enough power
    but I’m not sure if the alternator is 90 or 110 but i predict its 90amps.

  11. @malewizard “Pulled negative cable from battery while running,car continued
    to run with no drop.” Never pull the battery cable when the engine is
    running. You can badly damage your alternator and possibly the ECU. The
    battery acts as an electrical filter on the system. Without the filtering
    of the battery, you subject everything in the electrical system to sharp
    damaging voltage spikes.

  12. i have checked the plugs again to see if any more oil is leaking where the
    spark plugs are but it seems to be fine and fuses are fine also (i did the
    light check from one of your videos). My engine light wont come on untill i
    start driving for apprx 3km or when i reach a certain speed (say over
    70km). Would it be some sort of an electrical problem?? and because it has
    a honda engine WHAT honda model would i gets parts from that will be the
    exact same as the ones in my Rover/Honda.

  13. I would have included the fuse box. You CAN have an electrical system
    without it, but it would not be advisable. This can be the source of a a
    number of issues, not the least of which can be blown fuses, of course, and
    corroded electrical junctures.

  14. I too am have been an auto tech with over 26 years of experience. I would
    like to say,great video!nicely done,covers the basics in a way that all
    will be able to understand. Cheers.

  15. I have an older car, 1977.. When I hook up new electrical parts
    gauges/switches ext. I use for connection Deans connectors or Traxxas
    connectors. Makes it easy to disconnent in the future.
