Bad Bad Bad DSM Day!

**jbGST** · March 26th, 2007, 09:02 PM

Ok so as you all know Saturday finally passed smog, Today went to DMV and got my tags and turned in all paperwork to get the pink...

So ok started out good until....

On my way back from school I hear a gawd awful sound something like dirty stray cats being drug under my car and not all screeching the same tone,, So i call up Ben to bring out a jack so i can check and see if its wheel bearing or t-case,, guess what its t-case,,,, yah yah yah big deal just a tcase, got the yoke parts ordered earlier today and had the t-case topped off before i drove to school, so it was kind of expected and i have a spare t-case. bad dsm day but not so bad,,,

Here is where it gets bad,,,

Tow truck driver drops the car right across the street from my apartment, and Im standing there BSing w/ bengsx in the parking lot while he is charging my card for the flatbed service.. then it happens in slow motion

I reach into my pocket while my back is facing my car and hit the remote start button,,, yes this story is going there,

I hear ben gsx Say "Oh No!!"

I hear cruuuuuuunnnnchhhh

I didnt even turn around, I asked ben "Oh gawd is my front mount ok?"

Please everyone pray that my front mount is ok untill i am able to get my hood pryed from the front of my car!

BenGSX post the pictures I cant look at them anymore tonight, I am suicidal................... Not really!!! But How could I be so stupid to not think that the tow truck driver could have left the car in gear w/ no ebrake on! FRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry bro. remember, gotta represent.
Determined
Sadomasochistic
Mechanic

I had a classic dsm day on saturday as well, not nearly as bad as yours, ironic more then bad. It was slow at work so i got off early, It was a nice sunny afternoon so I decided to give the talon some TLC. I washed her, vacummed, cleaned the dash, seats, everything. I gave her some mcguiars quick wax treatment. I mean, this bitch should of been purring, right? wrong. I go to leave for the meet, my caranuba cologne smelling strong, and I notice my lights get dimm. :shock: . I turn around just in case, and I got back home and hooked up the tester. Yup, you guessed it, alternator went out. Damm. jumped in the vr4, threw away about 10 used baby wipes and 2 diapers and went to the meet with the vr4 filthy as shit. I wasn't too pissed becuse the alternator is in warranty, but the reason it went out this time is because my P.steering pump is pucking all over it. good thing I found a used one for 17.50 shipped :P . gotta love ebay sometimes. Anyways, I hope your car is OK bro. lets see some pics!

oh man. I'm sorry. On the bright side, this is the perfect excuse to switch to a CF hood. looks like only cosmetic damage. good luck with it.

**BenGSX** · March 26th, 2007, 09:29 PM

This is the only thing that really scares me...

Thats an $800 10.5 x 24 x 3.5" race core short route FMIC .. new..

Weel see

Note the angle

**BenGSX** · March 26th, 2007, 09:33 PM

Ahhhh fcuk.. Look at the side of the FMIC and the oil cooler lines.. theyre wet..

Somethings leaking.. Your oil cooler might be Fcuked.. (Shoulda finished re-locating it even tho it fit back there)

DONT START IT AGAIN

Hopefully its coolant

**jbGST** · March 26th, 2007, 09:39 PM

yah I saw the angle earlier thats why i was sayin hopefully the cut end of the hood latch didnt take out my fmic, I dont care of its rad or oild cooler i can get a new one pick n' pull style for now but my fmic is worth more than the f'ing car!

Anyone need a kidney? Looks like I need dsm parts!

**BenGSX** · March 26th, 2007, 09:43 PM

hehe well if the back side of that ic is torn a bit ill bust out my mad TIG skills for you..

If i can find someone with a tig welder kind enought to let me use it..

(If they dont let us tig it up at school)

Seems like it was a bad weekend for all DSMs..

One of my previous owner "mods" decided to give way fortunately about 2 miles before I hit the freeway :roll: Genius decided to cut and re weld my rear pivot arm instead of buying a fkin camber kit and me not paying it any attention have been driving on it and it snapped... But not before I ripped a brand new 06 C6 Vette a new asshole and then proceeded to amuse a guy who started off as a tool and ended up being nice in a 03/4 pulley'd and exhaust with 315s (all the mods I could detect without actually talkin to the guy)

Now its time for me to get my meth kit on so I can turn this boost up. I'm hunting down C6 ZO6s next
