The dsm gods strike down on me once again.......
Two weekends ago the car started overheating which was odd to me then i realized that the fan wasnt kicking on checked it out and , I had my fan bolt back out and the fan blade was just sitting in the shroud not attached, so i go to my buddies take it out since i was aways from my place and smashed my hand like 3x trying to get the bolt out on the bottom got pissed and punched the windsheild.
The night didnt end there though, so i get the fan off and repaired and proceed to head home for the evening and the alignment got the best of me, when going from a slick to a dry spot the rear end jerks all over the place and i lost control and met the ditch at like 45, the car at this point had started to over heat and reeked like coolant. Got pulled out and notice the entire exhaust is laying in the ditch in like 4x pieces threw em in my buddys truck n i was on my way once again. I made it all of a mile and the clutch started to slip then the car wouldnt move at all said fuck it and towed it home. ended up getting it apart last weekend.
Upon disassembly i realized the fan motor was shorted out or something stupid it got so hot it melted the blades off of the motor and melted its self out of the shroud.
so i got the radiator out and its cracked figured thats where the coolant went, nope one of the coolant lines for the turbo burst.
heres a couple pics of disassembly.
and then it was out.....
heres a pic of whats left of my exhaust.
Got the pressure plate and clutch off
heres a massive crack in the pressure plate kinda hard to see though
heres the clutch with no friction material left
and a couple bolts decided to come out of the friction surface on the fidanza and Mar the piss out of the back of it, im undecided on whether or not ill run this Flywheel again because of the damage and all the friction surface screws were loose as were the starter ring gear retaining bolts.
and the kick in the nuts, leaking rear main seal
so massive amounts of destruction so far new parts listed in next post
