GTP Member's cars directory. What do you drive?

[AltF8]

Well, it's a screwy story.

I noticed suddenly a high-pitched whining noise at speed when the gearbox would get warm. Took it in, and they said the fluid had been completely drained - that makes for some serious problems inside the case, as you can imagine.

Well, there seemed to be no logical explaination for it. The last time I had the oil changed by someone else was 2 1/2 years ago - far longer than it would have lasted. I had gone 4,100 miles since I last changed the oil myself. The Subaru tech said it should have lasted 2 days, maybe even 2 weeks - but not 3 months. No leaks were found. So, there are only two explainations:

1. Someone stole my tranny fluid without me knowing.
2. The dealership found something else, didn't feel like paying for it, and made up this story.

Either way, I'm pretty much screwed - $4,500 for a new one.

 

[AltF8]

Oh, and add to that the deer that recently decided to run into the side of the car when I was on the highway, plus needing a new $800 hood because of hail damage - and my car's hurtin'...

 

[xAkirax2004]

This is your chance to get a STi there, Alt.

 

[AltF8]

I wish. I can barely afford the transmission repair, let alone an STi.

 

[xAkirax2004]

Well, a good place to start for a new tranny is Ebay.

2002 WRX? Right?

 

[AltF8]

Yep, five speed. I checked Ebay - no dice. Most people don't want to mess with the shipping.

I also liked the "LOOK iTS A NISSAN" - in case no-one knew what a Skyline looked like and who makes it.

Ouchie Alt! That's no good at all! I say piss and moan until they give you a new transmission (assuming your still on warranty). What are you plans assuming you'll ignore my stupid advice?

The WRX intercooler has finally collected a couple small insects like misquitos or something. I feel proud!

I have an 88'integra. It looks nice. Looking forward to putting a 1.8gsr or an h22 in it.

Its pretty crazy to have two cars like that in the same house, you would wonder what im going to drive. Dont look foward to any car like those, ill probably be driving the Quest or probably the I30T.

I've always wondered how come all these American kids that are my age (16) can afford these cars. I figured out that car prices are way cheaper, and they all have rich parents. My first car will probably end up being a crappy Ford Fiesta 1.1 or something because insurance is so high.

Still, I guess its better than starving to death in Africa or something.

 

[88'integrapimp]

Their parents buy them those cars. That would be the only way.

 

[69Dodge_Charger]

Well I don't have a car yet. But I'm thinking of buying another means of transport, which I guess fits in this thread because I will be driving it.

What's up with BMW naming conventions? You always knew where you were before. You knew that a 318 had a 1.8, a 525 had a 2.5, 535 had a 3.5 etc. But now they are all over the place.

A BMW with a 2.7 engine should be a 327! The 320 now has a 2.2! The 545 has a 4.4! The 540 has a 4.4 too! What's going on there?

Well, the dealership is putting it through as a warranty issue - pending SOA's approval. I'm still waiting. Here's hoping...it'd be really nice, since the bill looks to be ~$5,000 for the replacement. Getting a $5,900 tax return check this year, so it'd be covered - but it sure would be nice to spend that one something else.

Regarding the intercooler, I'd highly recommend putting a screen on it. The fins bend WAY too easily - and then they look horrid. I've got a nice screen I ordered (but you can make your own very easily) and it's got some nasty chips in it that would have mangled my fins.
