yea. we'll see how it goes

 

I edited my post. ^

 

grossss.. why did you have to do the work it wasent you fault was it?

 

One reason I am not employed there anymore.

 

so it was also a bitchy shop? i mean i know the people who are going to higher me and there not bad people its a small shop so its kinda like a family.

 

*hire

 

lol thank you

 

Me and one other technician were the ONLY nonfamily members there. And both of us got HELL.

 

SOFB! lol. ill find some thing

 

Weve had discussions about this in the past man, Ive told you before and will now again, youve just gotta go into it with an open mind and be willing to learn. Having comebacks)yo-yos) is part of the job, thats why you need to be thorough and quality oriented, no mnatter how long or short it takes you to fix something it always takes longer to do it twice. I still smile at work everyday and truly enjoy working on most of the vehicles that come through the door. If its the choice for you, youll feel the same way too, every job sucks sometimes, the key is to find the one that sucks the least.



Ill just repeat myself, and say you dont wanna do a Cobalt clutch in the driveway. It takes me about 5hours on average to do a 2.2 clutch with a lift, engine supports, and all the proper tools. I'd rather replace a head than a clutch any day $.02

 

thanks maven your the man. i mean nothings giong to stop me from trying it. and ill keep that in mind every job sucks sometime.

as for the clutch. i figured out that i woudent be able to do it in my driveway. i dont have like any tools nor the knowledge

 

Yes every job does have its moments. It is how you DEAL with them, and best thing for me was to leave which is not because of yoyos yet how the dealership was. I enjoy working on cars...miss fixing them every day because I love doing that. But I enjoy the management position I have at the job I am at now. Just wish I had more pay. If you are really interested then go for it. Keep in mind you may not have enough time set aside for your car. I do miss having access to a lift like I did though.

40K > 13K any day of the week. I'll be back up at 40K soon enough even if I have to chain fast food chains.

 

dammmmmm your old job botherd you that much to quit and settel for less than half your normal?

 

I lost everything and have to start fresh thats why its so low paying. I lost my tools, cars, ex, sons...everything.

And a lot of places won't hire you without tools and I can't afford tools and my cat pissed on all the ones I have now. I just have a cheap set from walmart to get me by.

You have to have a good tool if your in that field. Craftsman works good, but they wore out in the long run and had to be careful on getting warranty done. So I went with Matco. I had a 15K note with Snap-On(Strap On).

 

dam man they realy fucked you over. thats gay you should have at least ben able to keep your tools

 

A lot happened to me at once personal and financial side. I had everything a guy could ask for...then pretty much over night lost it all. It took about 3 months, but it felt like over night.

Just NOW getting on my feet and still struggling on a few things.

 

geez. good thing im only in highschool

 

exhaust and a header will kill your low end. That could be an explanation

 

Fully bolted I could squeal my tires and they were almost bald. 2.2L as well. The big thing was I rarely did it unless I was racing at the track or pulling out quickly(blind curves and hills so I'm up to speed ASAP).

I mean I couldn't squeal AS LONG but I could do more than a chirp.

 

Yeah, my car, 2nd gear on highway entrance ramps I have to feather thr throttle because it will just blow the inside tire right off if you let it break loose and spin.

 

so heres my verdict. i dont think its slipping. today i noticed i got my chirp back. i guess it was just that one day. and the end all verdict......my cars slow as *****....looks like i need that spinny thing sooner than i expected

 

I'll trade you my tire-spinning abilities for your traction

 

swap cars? deal

lol what traction? me rolling on stock tires give me no traction

 

i can not believe there is a thread on chirping tires...
