Vooth 2nd Gear September 29, 2004 Share September 29, 2004 Don't sweat over it! Anyway I doubt you had the worst paintjob in sg...I recently went to see a Honda Concerto, originally red but the bloody paint already faded to pink! And got patches all over the body somemore! And the owner very yaya, said want to sell 3k above paper value or else might as well drive till end of coe life and in the end? 2 weeks later, he advertised to sell close to paper value! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazda323 Neutral Newbie September 29, 2004 Author Share September 29, 2004 haha btw bro can u fill me in with more info about my ride?? wad's a carburator?? is there a diff with current cars? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vooth 2nd Gear September 29, 2004 Share September 29, 2004 Uhh I not that technically inclined so I will try my best. Old cars come with carburettors (mine too) and it mechanically adjust the fuel/air ratio to the engine. The carb is easier for mechanics to tune. Nowadays, engines are all fuel-injected whereby a ECU (electronic control unit) controls the fuel/air ratio and some can even cater to your driving style. For more info, you can visit a site www.howstuffworks.com or something like that. More technically inclined bros here, esp genie47 will be able to guide you better. Hope I have helped you a bit!
