Rookie Mistakes Maintaining Your Car 

Not letting my high maintenance BMW go.

Can’t add my car yet, it’s not good enough / done.

Not having the right tools for a specific job and just winging it with the closest substitute.

Not getting UCAs to better my alignment on my new lift. Went through those brand new tires so fast 😔 Also, not installing my shock bushings in the correct order. Lmao

@@cyberzombie038 that's my lifestyle and so far so good. Haha😅

S4 😭😭😭😭😭

@@Supernaut710 S4B5 :((((

Holy shit this made me laugh a lot. Then I realized it's at someone else's misery which makes me a terrible person.... but I do enjoy a good laugh.

Change Audi to BMW

@@nathanmonsta6923 i have the same problem with an e34 bmw

I bought a 1988 Camaro IROC-Z that was carburetor swapped, had no ECU, No cats or mufflers, and had a little bit of rust forming. At 17 years old I thought I could fix it. Sold, my daily driver and drove that for three months. Worst memory was not having working windshield wipers and driving to school in the pouring rain. Wiping the windshield with an old rag as I drove down the street. Fun times.

I kinda did your 14 but got lucky so I only got stuck once

🤯

I hand tighten my lugs...

@@caffina5882 me 2 lol never had an issue

Bruh moment

Lows that shit would actually change the car tho rotational mass🤣

I broke a stud. Two of em. I still rode on em. My friends stared at me for a good minute. Im still alive typing this down.

Remove engine for weight reduction

Lol happend to my homie the other day.

😂 same here

On my 370Z which can’t see shit

I FUCKING DROPPED MY PHONE IN MY ENGINE BAY LAST WEEK

Big oof

@Ninety5tag its fine dude i dont really care. Respect✊

Forgetting to replace those piston return spings every 30k miles.

Don't forget to change the muffler bearing every 50k miles

I've been neglecting my blinker fluid myself. Euro cars take weird fluid that you can't get at autozone. :(

@@KM-je6bf ya that oil u usually have to import from german companies. Since autozone only carries quality

Living somewhere that gets cold and hot repeatedly. My main seals aren't even there anymore.

@U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement I mean a rwd car with dedicated snows outperforms an awd car with all seasons

@Garbage Trash except everything melts

Get a rally car, problem solved.

@U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Thats why you need 3+ cars haha. Daily, summer whip, and a project

Ouch, that must've sucked.

@@z-trip5457 nah man, I still have it lol. I actually just got it about a month ago. I'm still learning bits here and there, but I've always been in love with the FD RX-7, so getting an RX-8 was something I've been considering ever since I got my license.

Lee Seiler why was it a mistake? Rx-8 is on my list for first cars (im 17), why shouldnt i buy it?

Basically, no car will be a mistake if you do your homework. I'll say that out front. If you know what you're going into, and you have a better understanding of what common problems with the car are, you'll be better set. Look on forums, try and find someone in your community who has one and just pick their brains about the car. I love my RX8, I dont drive it super hard and if I do it's only for a short time and on roads I know and am comfortable on. Below is some stuff I've found online and my own experience with the car. (04 RX8, JM1FE) Being a rotary engine, you'll come across a different maintenance schedule than most traditional piston motors. Plan on adding a bunch of oil, (I always carry a few extra quarts to top off) spending $20-$30 per spark plug every 15k miles, (and also paying attention that you are buying leading AND trailing plugs for each rotor, I just changed mine yesterday and the previous owner had 4 leading plugs in there). Another issue, at least for the series 1 (04-08) is the starter, it doesn't like to start hot. Another issue I just had (maybe related to the starter, or poor compression or a combo of both) was I was on the highway, waiting to pull across in the middle lane turn off. I decided to try and beat a tractor trailer, and being new to driving stick, I stalled it. No biggie, I've stalled before, I'll just wait for the next red light to stop traffic. Well my car wouldn't even crank. I would turn the key and the dash lights were so faint, the brake was sunk to the floor. I had no idea what happened. I got lucky and someone helped push it off the road, go pulled into a parking lot, and looked over the car. Didnt really see anything, so I decided to try starting it up after going inside the store and letting the car (and my head) cool down. After about 5 seconds of cranking it finally took and I was able to finish about my business, no issues at all. Back to the oil topic, premixing is a big thing people generally talk about. I don't, but that might be why I had that issue. I'm not sure, I've only had the car a month lol.

Yes I did this sold it a month later did enjoy my 87 FC while I had it

Lmfaao! Here I am with an 08 e92 335i and recently purchased 03 e39 540i

TRIGGERED! Having flashbacks of vanos and valve cover gasket work in my dim light garage

I have 95 bmw 740i and i tune it my self everything from mapping to chip tuning and I also rebuild everything my self and she runs like beauty never gotten an engine light

335i life haha

I feel personally attacked

I once almost frogot to install the oil filter before filling so i had to lift the car back up

Fuck I did this like 2 days ago like a dumbass

I was thinking the same thing! This comment is very underrated

Was it a 3000 gt?

@@Iamsandivo Nope its even older

My customers do sometimes and bring high milage motor oil to me with 5k to 10k miles on it

Did you say.. *OIL*

Does it count if i just burn the oil out instead of draining,it? Lol silly vq oil is for the oil pan not the firing chamber

I don't have to do oil changes, my E46 drinks it all up so I just have to refill it once a month or so, really handy!

PLAGUE 😂 how convenient. My Audi had the same feature.

You suck up. I'm just pissed you beat me to it. Trying to put enough good karma in the air for the suspension giveaway. Now I'll have to resort to Gels and Dakota voodoo dolls or something.

@@markschoch9509 lmfao

I like the tactics boys it shows commitment 😂🙏🏼

You thought you could get away with that?!?!?

Blinker fluid is a joke right?

Damb

Swear this is my friend and his 87 bmw xD

Babahahaha

@@acidllamas6168 they probably tried to hit him for every little repair they could.

Ouch!!!

I repeated it 3x in my best Alex voice

Lol I caught that.

he meant valve shim adjustment. it's a real thing especially on older toyotas (2jz) and hondas.

Idk what you did to god for him to do that to you but you better make amends my guy😂

This was me at first but i love mine now

I'm on motor number 7. But im far from stock.

Well, let me have it lol. That's one of the wars I want so bad other than an FD.

@@HumblyDriven oh, I'm keeping it forever at this point. 😂

@@Jonjims1532 I want an 06 or 07 hawkeye but they are hard to find. :( What are your thoughts on that?

Wow wtf!

How else would I know if the CEL bulb worked?

Neeeeegaaaaaa , cel lifestyle

This little light of mine im gonna let it shine.

Unless you're in NY, where Emperor Cuomo forbids any vehicle with a CEL from passing inspection or being registered

For sure

That’s normal

Leonardo Reyes i have a 2012 gti thats never had a light on before am I special

@@yungbg7531 I believe you maybe....

@Sam Ouzounian I've got a 2013 that I picked up in January with 27k I just hit 60K and I've had a smog light bank 1 sensor 1 I just needed day off to change it.

@@leonardoreyes8517 Barry White's voice

@Sam Ouzounian Mk7 GTI needs some love to keep running properly but if you take care of it the car will definitely take care of you. Its a labor of love for me because I love that car almost as much as my own children 💘

Buying a 1999 Camaro as a project car that barely ran as I’ve never worked on a car before in my life other than an oil change.

thats a good one need to do that.

Chop off the muffler problem solved

Brown Sugar my TDI has no EGR so it has a nice light on the dash but I don't really care seeing as i made it turn on 😂

If you don’t own a celica then you’re the antichrist

Rev up ur ennngiiiines

My auto tech teacher told us to never do what he says to do lol

@@klaus9939 bruh... I wish I was a student in your class because following his advice royally fucked me.

you bought a Corolla?

My buddy: I've never seen brakes fail with black brake fluid so I don't care

@@kylefeilmeier7261 it's not the color that necessarily matters. It's the amount of copper and/or water that's in the fluid.

amari odom me too luckily I can walk to autozone in 10 mins

N54?

That's because it's an old car. Old cars do not like synthetic oils, because they were built long before synthetics became a thing. They are made differently, and the years and years of wesr and tear has made them not being able to adjust to change.

LETTSS GOOO! Shoot us an email sometime at shop@fitmenitndustries.com whenever you are ready!

It depends where the bolt goes Normally if you tighten up a bolt it won't go anywhere But if a bolt goes into aluminum make sure tto torque it up to spec! (learned that the hard way by almost loosing my front lower control arm)

I'd like that

The best is Autotempest, because it searches on all the sites, autotrader, eBay, Craigslist, all of them

My Jetta lived with that light on, thought it came standard

@@rodneya6371 It's just a map that's messing with how rich my afr is.

dont they just paint cars? 🤔

He says it repeatedly! The three basics of all car modifications for a good start on a build. Intakes, headers and exhausts Or was it Bumpers, wings and stickers?

Blinker fluid drain plug. Youre welcome

@@KM-je6bf lol

Holy shet, I never noticed the C++ code during intro.

@Fitmentindustries keep liking my mini cooper comment but are you guys considering the mini cooper video like i really want to see it 😭🙏.

Stay tuned homie a magician never reveals his future videos 😅

@@FitmentIndustries I will keep the faith 🙏(and continue to comment 😂)

Its because no one wants a Mini Cooper

See ur rookie mistake here is not filling them up with nitrous. It adds 50 horsepower easy bruh.

Just put some helium into your tyres for some real live gta cheat cars can fly action
