My car sounds like Ass......life sucks

[JDori]

So ever since i got to Ohio my car hasn't been in the best of running conditions..

it sucks........i dont even know what wtf my car sounds like or is suppose to sounds like b/c by the time i got the clutch broken in enough to hit full boost my exhaust has wiggled it self apart at the cat and now one of gaskets after the turbo is pretty much fuked and makes such a horrible loud sound when i accelerate. and magically my exhaust hangers have loosened and now my muffler vibrates like a dildo when i finally get my car to start (really cold here most days). So i pretty have stopped enjoying my newly boosted car in about a month.....but i still love here. hopefully i can get my car into the shop and get the test pipe on, and fix the hangers this weekend...and change the oil over to synthetic. Hopefully very soon or sometime this winter i will be able to get my fenders rolled.

well just thought id share and update with ya guys.... a lil rant.

Thats basic, minor stuff. Don't get let down. If the motor starts knocking, then you have reason to cry.

oh yeah. flex pipe is always recomemded. i dont think they make one without them anymore. the heat and vibration causes other things to come loose. its an easy fix if you crawl under and check or tighten.
always check oil. and we still need to get you a BOV. i wish you were closer.

[JDori]

yea ill have money for the Bov and timer next week. which for the time has actually stopped leaking, so i have felt the actually full boost now and its beastly.....

and im def looking into saving up for a new Down pipe as well.. did you and Sammy get the down pipe from tyler yet. just wanna make sure.


and about the oil...im pretty sure i drove 4hrs to Pittsburgh with low oil b/c i was have the most random overheating problem.

[hellfire]

Oh hah! I still have that stupid thing.

Can I just meet up with you somewhere and drop it off Dave?

[JDori]

[JDori]

yea i was only mainly worried when i was overheating....fixed that


but then i thought i had some really bad shaft play on the turbo, but that ended up being the gasket......

so im not worried...just annoyed.....but what ever thats life.

If your motor has over 50,000 miles on it; don't use synthetic oil.

[JDori]

why..........

[~The_Duke~]

If it makes you feel any better I have a PITA exhaust that can only be fixed by welding on a new flange which is making my car louder and less good sounded...

[JDori]

wow now that really sucks......

[omgwtfbbq]

why..........
All your seals are not in top notch shape. You should only use synthetic for new engines, newly rebuilt engines, or engines designed for synthetic. Just use a high quality conventional oil. It will save you tons of money in the long run.
