Feb 2004 Worste Month Of My Life - Car On Fire

[Enes]

white hats you.. i think you should like just throw that car into a lake or something...

i know you said no, but keep me in mind for the dsmlink .. i am not sure if awd ecu's are different from fwd in any way?

the FWD's have speed limiters on the ECU's but if your going to run a dsmlink it will solve that for ya :)



If it was priced cheap enough i wouldn't mind buying it just to part out. I need a bunch of misc. engine parts. Not to mention i wouldn't mind having the head for the GST back :)

atleast the fuel tank didn't go

that really sucks. and I thought I had a bad month in January with an accident and a ticket....

Geez, I thought weekly visits to the hospital for me and the wife was bad.

On a positive note, swapping the rear diff is not that difficult or expensive, I wouldn't total the car based on that. If your axle splines aren't jacked up, you can just swap the pumpkin itself. My old neighbor did his on a 95 GSX automatic and he got the pumpkin for a couple hundred and had it swapped out over a weekend. Should be easier than a clutch swap.

And get rid of that welded VC for the street, they are bad news for drivetrain components. I would say with 99% confidence that was the cause of your problem.

Man, I'm sorry to hear this Brian! :( At least you weren't hurt!!

[BuildADSM]

[Jakey]

Damn Brian, I hope things get themselves worked out!

even though he wont say it, i'm sure Cher agrees with you

Sorry Brian. I am with Steve, you should be able to swap it out for a couple hundred and it is pretty easy to do. Should take about 4 hours if it comes out like a 1g one. Possibly even less if the axles will pull out of the pumpkin. Good luck!

Yea that is a pretty bad month. I wouldnt total it unless your really ready to get rid of it and claim your losses. The Rear diff is easy as other said it just drops down. Much cheaper than selling it or claiming and gettting some money back. Wouldnt your insurance pay for the fixing and the parts needed to get it back up?
