So I just get out of school and I head towards my barber which is about 10miles or so away, as I'm driving I smell something funny and it suddenly pops into my head its burning coolant! ( my car overheated before). I look at my temp gauge and its all the way at the top, I pull over and pop the hood and this is what I found



And this is what the damn problem was!


heres my poor car on the flat bed and damn it sure was a mission to get it on there almost ripped my bumper off even with blocks under the ramp!

 

ouch man.. you should uh.. get those varianza t1s off the car before they scratch it....

i'll uh... hold on to them for you.

 

haha yah man i was so afraid the lip would scratch the side of the truck but i was watching really closely and the driver was cool about it he was very careful since he said he owns a couple rides and would want people to treat his car with the same respect

 

and josh you can hold them if you want ill take the exhaust and your rims for now =]

 

haha told you it was a leak, it was in front of your face too haha

 

daymn easy fix i hope you do it yourself. and don't call me i wont do it.

 

haha.. no... my exhaust > your wheels... for now... lol

 

haha lol nice one josh, lol soon everybody is going to have ur exhaust :p

 

Damn dude. Sorry to hear. Hope everything gets fixed.

 

 

Damn that sucks. But hey, cars gets older the more we have to fix. Even your far is on the flat bed it still looks good...lol

 

^ haha thnx and everything should be fixed by today car should be up and running by noon time

 

Replace the other hose as well.

 

yah im replacing both of them

 

dang that sucks.. but your car still looks sick if it makes you feel better. haha

 

^ haha thanks man and it does make me feel better it made me better when the tow truck driver said it was clean too lol..

well i jsut got the car back 5mins ago and everything is fine they replaced both the hoses for me for free so thats cool

 

damn =(

 

Replaced the hoses for free?!? thats whats up..

 

That's right, keep maintaining it.

 

yah i got it for free since the i go to that shop all the time so they just gave it to me for free =]

 

Def. post the shop info. It's always good to hear that a member found a solid shop and had a good experience with a tow truck driver.

 

It seems to me the bad hose had a damage on it rather it was leaked by old age cracking.

 

That sucks but your TL does look awesome.

 

yep the shop is amazing ive always gone there they're very careful with the car and no matter what they do they'll test drive it to make sure everything runs fine. After the mechanics are done with the car the owners take a look and actually show you what they've done and what they replaced, they even show you the old parts to compare. And for the towing company I just called AAA and they sent the guy, I guess i just got lucky because he says most drivers are high on something and dont give a shit, but im lucky he did

and thanks for the compliments on the car guys

 

Whoa...just noticed there was a typo on my post...lol Typed far instead of car =P Well, good thing you found a good shop...i need some of those here.

 

especially a good place that does a good paint job. lol

 

Hey, WDP is a hard color to match

 

haha. well. thats your fault for having a white car.

 

lol the engine cover looks the same as my mom's odyssey's >_>

 

That sucks man! Glad to hear your cars back on the road and it was all done for free is an even better deal!

 

you should go to monterey park autobody they do good work and its always nice to looks at their ruckus's

 

My CL overheated because of the coolant line on my intake had a crack in it. Friday night sucked for me.

 

yoiu shouldn't reply anything with paint... look at ur hood.

 

where's the shop?

 

the shop is on San Gabriel right before Garvey its called "Sucess Auto Tech"

 

Hey, at least i didn't paint my own hood. haha...j/k

 

haha, just saw your reply.

 

On a totally un-related topic, who ever ran that power wire for the amp should be shot!

 

that sux...hope the fix goes well

 

All show and NO go!
