ever hear a joke so old you forgot the punchline?



I did today-



Why do they drink warm beer in england?







Because they have Lucas refrigerators

wtf BOO!!!

not many car jokes out there, give me a better car joke!

my brother and i hopped in my tr3, and i turned on the lights, half of which didnt go on, he hit the dash they all came on, and have been fine ever since

I have heard stories of certain cars using all one color for the wiring

so thats not a joke, its why they drink warm beer, its a true story

its like a inside joke

that would be 94-97 kia

I dont know how you worked there



have you no pride?





I miss the shoutbox

we were mazda/kia until novemberish 04. kia used to be easy, they used the same parts/part numbers as mazda.

Unless I can find a variety pack of good quality wire, that's what my car is going to end up looking like under the hood.......... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

do yourself a favor and at least get 2 wire colours, 1 is ok when you wire it up, but fixing it later you'll be solly!

tyson- try a electrical supply place, look for some Carol wire, its high temp and solvent resistant, even home depot sells it



dont do one color, it will look like the Donzi I have at the shop, EVERY WIRE is red and white, I will take a pic of that **** once its in the building, lol



you want to get fancy get some of those small tags with numbers on them, keep a log of what each one is

yeah, I'm looking....



there's so few things gonna be left under the hood it might not be a real problem anyway. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

you can get them with and without the ground terminals you can see peeking out the side there.

Thats the exact box Im using for my megasquirt.

Whats the LUCAS Factory motto?

























Home before dark

I dunno, all their employees could probably see in the dark anyway...........

LMAO. I want that fuse box for my rx7, though Im not sure where Ill mount my "Fish Finder"

can someone let me in on the Lucas joke.



im assuming its about the oil stabilizer stuff that sponsors the drag cars.

Lucas is the brand of electronics on english cars

Over here Lucas are known as th Prince of darkness - here's some crap jokes for whoever asked (I also have some Lada ones that suck equally as much):



Lucas denies having invented darkness. But they still claim "sudden, unexpected darkness."



Lucas--inventor of the first intermittent wiper.



The three-position Lucas switch--DIM, FLICKER and OFF. The other three switch settings--SMOKE, SMOLDER and IGNITE.



The original anti-theft devices--Lucas Electric products.



"I've had a Lucas pacemaker for years and have never experienced any prob...



If Lucas made guns, wars would not start either.



It's not true that Lucas, in 1947, tried to get Parliament to repeal Ohm's Law. They withdrew their efforts when they met too much resistance.



Did you hear the one about the guy that peeked into a Land Rover and asked the owner "How can you tell one switch from another at night, since they all look the same?" "He replied, it doesn't matter which one you use, nothing happens!"



Back in the '70s Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which didn't suck.



Quality Assurance phoned and advised the Engineering guy that they had trouble with his design shorting out. So he made the wires longer.



Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone.

Thomas Edison invented the Light Bulb.

Joseph Lucas invented the Short Circuit.



Recommended procedure before taking on a repair of Lucas equipment: check the position of the stars, kill a chicken and walk three times sunwise around your car chanting: "Oh mighty Prince of Darkness protect your unworthy servant."



Lucas systems actually uses AC current; it just has a random frequency.



Mark

Brake calipers on Mercedes Benz are Lucas
