First thing that happened was when the turbos burnt out my stock cats and with the amount of smoke that blew out the exhaust i thought i blew a head gasket.Well it was at 6 in the morning so i could not tell what color the smoke was..........i just could not see the car that was behind me anymore with his lights on.
So i get to work thinking im fuked..........i do all the normal tests that i can think of and every thing is normal.Well i talk to dave at functiontuned and we come to the conclussion that i burnt up my cat convertors.So i have had my test pipes for a couple months and its time to put them on..............well i bring my car into my shop on sunday and find out this is gonna be a biatch to install my test pipes.
I totally forgot to use the greddy supplied stud and nut and instead used the factory one when installing the twins.So 3 hours later i get the test pipes installed.....and also installing a new wideband sensor which was killed when the cats went.
Well today i am driving to work and my power steering is making a ton of noise so i take a look and find out the braided steel oil supply line for the turbo just wore thru the the aluminum line for the power steering return line.Well i have temp fixed this and after the throtlle body incident what the *** is next.Sometimes i just hate this fuking car.

 

Sometimes it hates you too. Sometimes you just love that fuking car too. And, again, Sometimes it loves you too.

There will always be problems. Just fix and get back into boost.

 

Sorry to hear that man. Can't wait to see it again once the weather rolls around

 

I understand man...the other day I was driving normally when one of my pullies came flying off. The mechanic said it was a tensioner or something like that. I lost power steering and barely managed to limp to the shop - I was thinking what else is next ?

I even searched a little on autotrader for vettes for sale in my area

 

Look at the bright side Keith, atleast you still have your car. It could always be worse.

 

Does this mean I am faster than you now? How about taking some corners ?

Ok, just kidding...yeah I hate having car trouble. Good luck with all the fixes. It happens..and yeah..could be worse as Integrity said.

 

I believe if you had an _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _, this wouldn't have happened! Sorry to hear about your luck! Shoulda listened to me!

 

AFC-TACTIC?

 

But-warmer?

 

Very true my brother.

 

Stay with it man I know how you feel I was hours away from trading my car in for a 2004 m3 when my girlfriend slapped some sence into my head. I know at times it could make a grown man go crazy, and in your case make an old man have a heart attack lol. J/K hang in there man.

 

damn sorry to hear that, i have been down that road with my car. just roll with the punches. thats all you can do.

 

don't worry Keith-it will be worth it in the end when everything is running like it should

 

As Tupac would say: 'keep yo head up'

More stress will always cause parts to give out, it'll all be made right again!

 

Sounds like minor little things you can fix in your shop man, no sweat.

 

^+1 those are small simple fixes at least nothing in your motor or your transmission is destroyed that would worse.

 

$hitty week for sure, trust me I feel your pain...

 

sorry for you probs man. Wish we could help

 

I wonder if you sell me your hood, you will feel better? :-) Just messing man.

Sucks about the car man, see my simple bolt on post nightmare.

 

I am keeping the hood and yea i fixed everything in the shop(thank god i run a service department) but it sometimes begins to be a pita.Well thursday im going down and see dave for the higher boost tune and i guess its time to say good by to the stock trans as i know thats gonna be next.
