90TGP Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 Well I just sunk $750 into my car today after having my cross-x piped replaced and engine cleaner ran through the motor. Spent $80 yesterday for a new turbo heat shield. Well today went pretty good after I got my car back from the mechanic. I have a slight boosting problem. When I floor it hard upto 35mph or so, the engine will just cut out on me. It's like I hit the speed governor or something. So I have to take my car back on Monday to the mechanic to see what the problem is. I think it might be the wastegate acuator rod got shortened a bit/ pushed in, so it's overboosting. Or that the computer is not used to the car running proplery, since I've driven the car for 2 years with a cracked cross-x pipe. But that's just the tip of the ice berg. I got rear ended today by a woman in an Escort. Noone was hurt. There wasn't much damage, just a cracked rear bumper cover and it bulging out from under the tail lights. I also have a cracked lisence plate cover and a broken plate light. But I think that's the only damage. Yes, the lady did have insurance, and she was pretty nice, not pulling any BS. I did file a police report. I'm going to get some estimates tomorrow, and will show my car to my insurance agent on Monday. And I just had my car washed today too. This sucks the big one. I was planning on entering my car into a few sport compact shows in my area, and this had to happen. Oh well, that's life. I hope my insurance agent gives me some good money.

90TGP Posted May 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 Is anyone currently parting out a TGP that can sell me a rear bumper for cheap? Or anyone know where I can get one for cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90TGP Posted May 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 I wonder how hard it is to fix the tear. Mine tore too, but higher up, not to mention it's bulging. Thanks for the link though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
