Typical People, Those Bound to Screw It Up
 

I've got this new lab partner I've been working with. On our first lab meeting, everything goes well. He seems to be versed enough in technique that I can trust him on his own and not watch him every step of the way as my personality would lead me to do. Note: this would come back to bite me. He is comfortable with math, which I'm not, so that's another point for him on the first day. After we get started and going through some procedures, he starts to fuck stuff up. Just being clumsy and careless in general with measuring out the right amount of chemicals. Luckily since it's his first day with me he pretty much asks my opinion on everything, so I catch all the mistakes. It's just frustrating knowing that if I hadn't caught what he did, the day would have been wasted.

The next time we met to do lab work, he had found out from an old friend of mine, who is his house mate, that I'm big into cars and do some autocross and racing. This guy then tells me all about his S2000 and what he wants to do with it, blah blah blah typical ricer shit. Well, my old friend is also a goofus in lab and drives an S2000. You see how this is going along with "Typical People". We spend half the lab talking about how to get into doing some open track and doing good at autocross and my quietly shaking my head at his stereotypical ricer comments.

Third time we meet to do lab work. I find out the guy tried to put cams in his S2000 and completely distroyed his valves and heads by not tightening down the cam shaft gears or something.

I wouldn't have expected anything different from what I know of this guy so far. Granted, you don't have to be a ricer to incorrectly install cams, but there is a different between 5.0mL, 0.05mL, and 50 miroliters, and this guy doesn't follow instructions close enough to tell the difference.

Cliffs: New lab guy nearly fucks everything up, turns out to be a ricer, ruins the head and valves on his S2000 by doing a cam install

There are people that you just know are bound to screw something up sooner or later, like it's just thier nature.

hahahaha...school sux.

Lol. Funny story, my lab partner drives a Tirburon (did). First lab day he saw my background on my computer of my car, said he had heard it around campus (my car is loud as fuck driving around campus because I can't get it out of first gear with the traffic) and says he has a Tiburon that he's putting a supercharger on and says he'll blow my GT out of the water with it when its done (considering I've beat many SC Tibs in my GT I just shook my head so he'd STFU).

Next week I was sick so I missed. But, this past week I saw him in class again and asked him if it was done. He tells me the story about how his car is toast. Turns out he forgot to hook back up the radiator and took off down the street stomping on it as soon as he got it installed (figured something would've broke without breaking it in first anyways) and he seized the motor up. Quick.

So now he's driving a towncar lol. I couldn't resist but to ask him when he wanted to race me now.

He partnered up with a different kid this week lol. He was butthurt a bit I believe.



I don't know how the fuck you don't notice the fluid leaking from the radiator, or the temp flying up. But I guess his ricer brain was just worried about the VTAK!!! kicking in.
