if somebody isnt complaining about the "rice" threads, they are complaining about helping answer questions.... honestly, what else is there to talk about on a neon forum?
Plenty, Seeing the same kinds of post fromdifferent people because they are too lazy to search this forumor read a few pages. I will say this forum is very helpful. Just saying get a manual and if there is something you don't understand in it ask here (there will be times that will happen)

when i first came to this forum i had no ideal i could search the forum for the same topics as i had and when you do search usually it comes up with unrelated post cuz maybe they typed in the wrong keywords or something... im just saying this forum was made to help people and if they are to lazy to go look it up then and that bothers you then dont help them there are alot of other people on here that it bothers but they still help..

this forum is the first car forum ive ever been on and my first car that im actually interested in working on.. without this forum and my stupid questions i would know absolutly nothing about the car except its fast i have hardly any knowledge about it know but alot more then i had before.

and if there asking questions about the car maybe they dont even know there is an everything manual for it.... i didnt.. for most people these are there first cars or just another car that they picked up and want to learn about

cuz i know i never new there was a manual for it..

but i guess this post is telling people to buy one,, but why spend that much on a manual if you have one simple problem that can be figured out on a forum??

there seems to be two kinds of people on here replying to posts. the ones that are still too lazy to search and immediately post the link to the forum that already answered his question 2 years ago, and the ones that go and do it. ending the post and the bitchin about multiple posts, blah blah blah.

I understand that. But people are just to lazy and cheap to buy a repair manual and have someone else to do the reading to get things done. Just seams like they are want who ever answers to come and do it for them. Get a manual. Just like the one post asking about changing brake pads. Get the manual. And brakes are one thing you should not skip on. And then there is a post awhile back about getting the window crank off. I can see asking about that. He was taking off the door panal and couldn't get the pin out to get it off
I am just saying get a manual for the car you are working on. You will see it will be the best piece you could bye for your car

some ? are ok but there are some that make you want too smack the poster
Dude, you're 16, I'm sure you don't know everything, you will ask questions that may seem dumb to others, but they are important to you. Why not just supply the answers you can and ask the questions you can't answer, everyone will get along and everyone will be happy. I still ask questions and I'm 43.

What if your internet connection isn't working or it's late and noone is answering? Plus any manual has pics that help as well as torque specs. So you don't have to have a post that asks, "what do I torque my valve cover bolts to?"

Buy a Haynes manual!!!!!!! Easier said than done believe me lol they do have them in stock in the uk, they have to specially ordred and then you have to wait 3 - 4 weeks......solution!! order from the good ol' USofA....they`re cheaper but still come with a slight snag.delivery costs are like outer space, accepted, I don`t mind paying for something thats gonna get my baby working, and the other problem..yep you guessed it....4-8 weeks delivery......So, this forum for me is an absolute life saver, just my pennies worth
