HEY! HEY! no America bashing!

that's not allowed!

we do everything right! :hsugh:

 

[americanjebus]

i personally despise the thought of using amercan measurements, metric is by far superior in every way and i get so freaking pissed off when i get a part on my supra that ends up using a standard amercan measurment. my dad has all toyota's yet he keeps buying standard measurement tools and he says it doesnt matter (thats why every bolt gets roudned off)

supra_girl i feel your anger, anyone fabricating performance parts should guarantee measurements were done in metric form should they be for an imported car.

dsm's just annoy the living crap out of me cus of thsi measurement crap.

 

[lanky189]

yeah..i like knowing that i'll only need a 10, 12, 14, 17mm wrenches and sockets...the occasional 8

but after having to replace several bolts including the alt. adjusting bolt, i found myself grabbing a 13mm more often.....that bastard 13mm..

 

[SupraMario]

thats why i care metric and american.:biglaugh:

 

[Boostaddctn]

Holla... another country gets punk'd by superior Americans... aight peace

ps- plus most standard fasteners are cheaper then metric.

 

[Allan_MA70]

Americans... unfortunately high shit head percentage, thus a people that had a war for independence from the dum ass brits still today uses the imperial system!

 

[lanky189]

Get Some... Get Some....yeah..get Some!

 

[Supra Sound]

its also funny that jeep who owns the company that made our war vehicles uses metric instead of american

 

[americanjebus]

well yea that way tools from the country's we are bombing/invading will be able to fix it.

and the guys at jeep are mechanically smart.
