  • They're taking the motor out of a Camaro SS on spikeTV

    I thought it would be a lot harder, but they just lift the body off the car and it come sright out! It looks like if you are good with a cherry picker, or have access to a lift, you can swap a motor out pretty easy.
    I might have to get this episode for future reference on putting something in my car [img]smile.gif[/img] Pretty interesting.

    I was watching it too, pretty interesting. And as for ease, well they made it look easy, thats for sure, I highly doubt its that easy.

        I just thought there was a lot more involved with it, but it seems like a couple hours of disconnecting stuff and the motor would be ready to come out. Get a jack, a dolly, and a cherry picker and it can be done hehe

          It isn't that hard I changed a 96 camaro engine and once we figured out what we need to undo and all that good **** it was about 6 hours in and out.

            Every time I see them do something with a car on Spike TV, they make it look like a 9-year-old could do it with simple hand tools. I remember when they installed a system in a Civic...

            Two subs, new HU, new components all around, and a couple amps... along with a capacitator, equilizer, disc changer, and maybe something else I might be forgetting... they got it done in about 20 minutes.

            They didn't include any of the stuff that actually takes time either: running wires, soldering, etc. They just kinda showed you how to plug in wires and that's it.

              Yeah, it would have been nice if they showed you how to wire an amp into a factory HU withOUT RCA plugs. I spent hours trying to figure out how to do that.

                  I was doing that kind of **** when I was 9. Except it was to the stereo in my room and other various electronics :D

                  If it was mine, and it was electronic, I had to take it apart to see how it worked/make it work better :D

                    me too, i was same way, family didn't like for me to be around electrical appliances cause something would always happen and i would be the one to blame. even though it was never my fault.

                    can you order the tapes of the shows they had? god i would like to have a collection of tapes(or dvds) of previous episodes... of alot of shows like that.
