car tuning.

[Kyper]

Yeah. Belt replacement is routine maintenance. Not much at all. Any local shop can do it?

 

[Sshields32]

Every local shop should be able to do it.

my friends engine almost seized yesterday.

she drives a trans am, a legit red one. the thing is a monster but it started clicking and making funny noises and this kid ryan who works on cars, was like "you should stop driving that, its gonna explode."

 

[Kyper]

At what speeds? How loud? Any interesting smells? Define interesting noise.

 

[Sshields32]

Im guessing any speed. 0-60 mph.
Probably pretty loud.
I dont know about smells though.

 

[Kyper]

Never above 60?

How are her engine temp and oil pressure gauges reading?

 

[Sshields32]

I dont know about 60. we didnt get a chance to go above 60.

and i didnt look at the oil pressure or temp.
I should have

 

[Kyper]

Yeah. That would tell a lot. Lol.

 

[Sshields32]

mhm. oh well. i havent talked to her in two days. so i dont know what the situation is. but its cool. either itll explode and she will die, or someone will fix it.

 

[Kyper]

Yeah. Lol. Do you get anything if she dies?

 

[Sshields32]

No. which is stupid.

I guess i could take part of her car, which was nicknamed the red rocket. and frame it and put it on the wall as a part of my wall of fame.

God, that just got me thinking so many terrible thoughts. your an ass!

 

[Kyper]

You know you love me.

 

[Sshields32]

No. i dont.

 

[Kyper]

Dammit.

Anyways. How's the VW coming?

 

[Sshields32]

Covered in snow.

k so my battery light came on so i went and got it tested and they said my alternator was dead and wasn't charging the battery so it needed to be replace so i did that, but when they replaced it it still wasn't charging the battery so they checked all the fuses and wires and stuff and they said a wire was short circuiting (sp?) and they fixed that so then it worked and was charging the battery i assumed. But after about an hour of driving my car freaked out and all the little gauges on my dashboard went down so it didnt show my speed, rpms, gas, engine temp or anything. So i guess the brand new alternator STILL wasnt charging the battery so i went to a differnet place and they said my battery terminals needed to be replaced and i did that and it fixed the problem.
so my question, did i just blow a few hundred on an alternator i probably didnt even need?

 

[Sshields32]

Chances are they tested the alternator to see if it was shot, so you probably needed a new alternator anyway.

I dont think they would have fixed anything without testing.

 

[Kyper]

That's a coin flip holmes. Some garages will just milk you because you don't know what's wrong yourself.
