Let's talk about buying tools
 

I noticed my BRZ has E-torx bolts for the seat rails. I've never had to deal with these in any of my other cars, so I finally got me some E-Torx sockets.

What new tools has your BRz/FRS given you the opportunity of buying?
Also, what are your favorite tools?

No.

:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:
And we Care cuz y? :lol:
Why don't you respond to your other thread about tracking?

Here we go again

Do you find that your tools last longer at home or the track..?

Why do you need to do anything with your seat rails?

None, all the tools I need for my FR-S came in the trunk of the car.

My favorite tool .....see below.

Wait, you claim to have owned German cars and you've never had to deal with Torx?

Yeah, goodbye.

You should learn the difference between Torx and E-Torx.

Yes, I understand that many here do not own tools.
One day, you'll start to need them, if you keep your car to a high mileage.

Adjustable wrenches are great for stripping fasteners. They should almost never be used.

I don't.

If there is a tool I don't have, I will try to buy it.
I hate like not having tools to do something.

If I ever need to remove the seat, now I can.

Ya since the E just means eternal and they are the exact same bolts used primarily in European cars since they came out. There is not a hope in hell you did not come across Torx bolts in all the German cars you claimed to own.

You sound like me with the tool-buying habit - last count I had about 17 ratchets. As far as the seat rails go, one day my buddy and I were trying to take the driver's seat out of my BRZ so we could make the clutch adjustment easier and I didn't notice that they were Torx---somehow we were able to get 2 screws out using hex sockets and then ran into trouble with the third one--then we noticed that it was a Torx (I have both the Int and Ext types). We're both in our seventies and don't see stuff that easily:bonk: You should join the garage journal forum--when you get there go down to the general tool discussion and have at it.

I know the difference.

I can post about 10,000 other threads with similar info about external Torx usage on BMW cars, for starters.

Thank you come again.

I feel like 85% of the bolts in my e36's were god damned torx. Hate those things

I would honestly go as far to say that if you don't own any torx sockets, you have probably never worked on your own german car.

Don't tell Ludwig that. He may question the origin of his name...

10/10 thread

I'm still here mostly because I'm on the phone with CBP trying to renew my Global Entry account, it got locked accidentally.

I CAN NOT wait to see the weasely response to these!

My opinion on OP is changing from 'misinformed yet extremely arrogant 16 year old' to 'outright troll' very quickly.

Oh, OK, thanks for the heads up.

I do have a backup tool, in case my adjustable wrench strips the fastener.

:D

I've had torx sockets for my BMW bike over a decade.
Pretty unavoidable.

A tool starting a thread about tools. So meta.

Oh, I hope you have one of these in your tool box, old man ...... :lol:


:D

Cool! Hum found a contemporary on here.

whoas! some breakfast humor first thing in the morning!
:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn: I own basic tools that's about it....does computer repair tools count? LmaO!:lol:

Well, yes ....... your car does have a computer ...... right .......??


humfrz

Computer repair tools? I thought that was just the on/off switch?

Well if he is from MD then you both probably fought for the north so you should have common experiences.

Think it is coincidence that high school starts back up and Ludicrouswig stops posting during the day?

He's definitely just practicing some new insults against the white padded walls of his room. When he gets bored he probably plays with all the cars he's "driven" on that carpet racetrack.

Oh it all makes so much more sense now!

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON CARS FOR YEARS! WHAT IS A 10MM SOCKET?

Guys, I figured it out. He's owned them all in Real Racing. Or whatever that phone game is named.

Not to sure, since Maryland was a border state ...... I'd have to see his enlistment papers ....... he might have been a reb ..... :iono:


humfrz

Well, middle school started back up too ..... :D


humfrz

Distinctly possible.

It's the most important joke of the day.
