How to buy parts from inventory/repair order?

[Umbreon]

I have a tablet but it's a huge pain in the ♥♥♥ to remember all the names of the parts I need. Is there a way to purchase items from said areas? Or am I stuck with the painfully slow usage of the tablet?

Aside from jotting it down on a piece of paper, no, there isn't.
The only thing is that you don't need to close the repair order to open the tablet, so switching between the two is relatively quick.

Yea, I've been taking a photo with my phone so I don't have to keep closing the tablet to look at the list. Mod idea possibly; even though I think you can't mod this game?

If only we could. Bright side, the order system seems to have been revamped entirely for cms18, so this particular frustration should soon be a thing of the past.

I'd love to get it, but I'm broke and I don't even know if my computer can handle it. I have to run 15 on the lowest settings to get 45-60 fps

I just completely strip all the parts that look bad, pull up the order, and swap back and forth between the tablet until I have all the items; but it would be much easier to just press a button and buy a part whilst still in the order instead of mashing T 50 times.

Really? Your kidding? Are you really serious? This is a problem for you? You know what a circle is right? You know what a squar is right? You wouldn't put a circle peg into a small squar hole right? Your not that dense right? You do have common sense right? Because this is one of the requierments to be a mechanic of any kind.

Select for installing part, and the ghost part that displays put your cursor on it and you will see the name of the part that is supose to be installed. If you do not have this part, when you try to install it it will tell you it has nothing in inventory to install. If you have the part, it will display the part in it's condition for you to choose which one.

No matter what, the ghost image of the part, you can put your cursor on and it will tell you the name. There is no way NOT to be unable to install the right part of anything. You can strip the car down, to just the body shell, and sell everything in the inventory and build this car from the body shell and NOT get stuck trying to buy the right part. I have a video of this in my guide.

Pay attention to the part you need and the one your going to get. Some parts like Front Link A or Front Link B is because of the type of suspension layout. Some of these cars are using the old version suspension and other cars are using the newer suspension which uses struts. The game dose not lable the struts, they are just front shocks, but the link end for the stableizer bar to the game strut is not the same as the link end for the stableizer bar to the control arm. So like real cars, there will be A or B parts pending on what is being used.

There is no going into a parts store and telling them you want a water pump for a car, and expect them to just get you one. They do need to know what kind of car and year as well engine first..

You cannot possibly be getting this angry at a complete stranger asking a simple question. Wholly disproportionate.

I believe you misunderstood my question. I have no problem stripping a car to it's metal frame and putting it back together. I was just asking if there was an easier way than to use the tablet. I'm sorry if I offended you; that was not what I meant for out of this post.
