Default Have you ever had a non hyundai owner try to tell you about your car?

A guy I work with is a "self proclaimed expert" on cars and hes always trying to tell me stuff about my car that makes no sense. He thinks hes 100% right all the time too. Like the other day he tried telling me that a Mitsubishi 4G engine will drop right into my engine bay with no modification. fp.gif

I told him its not a direct drop in and he said I didnt know what I was talking about. When I said the Tib's engine is more of a direct drop in than a 4g he then tried telling me that the beta and 4g are identical other than the turbo not being on the beta. headshake.gif


What a moron!

there are several people that have dropped 4g63 motors into their tibs and everyone of them has said they had to move the motor mounts. he talks it, you walk it, simple as that.

I love proving people wrong when i can.
