Well fellas the balt is down for the count again. Somehow the crankcase ventilator hose that connects to the intake broke off. New one wont be here until tuesday cuz i live in butt **** egypt. This joins the list of

Parts that failed.
2 Crankshaft sensors
3 Headlight housings
1 Sparkplug
1 AC Blower motor

 

I'm starting to think that theres not another car out there that has as many problems as these cars. how many miles?

 

Yeah lol I know but I love the car its just when something breaks the downtime is terrible. 31800 Miles 2008 SS/TC

 

it must be the color red cus mine has problems too

 

tape it.

 

haha ive never had any problems with my car its a 09 with almost 10000 just oil changed ic pipe grommet recal and ps recal

 

Yeah no **** all the more reason for me to lobby to the wife to let me paint it imperial blue!!

Cant theres not really anything left to tape to on the stock hose.

Yeah but you dont drive it hard lol

 

haha i dont drive my car hard? i took it to the ******* fontana track and did 135 mph lol i drive my car way harder than you

 

i dont have an LNF but i drive the **** outta my 06 2.4. 50+ passes at the track, and i'm hard on it daily. 123,066 miles and the only thing thats gone bad was wheel bearings

 

Terrible lol Ive done that on the freeway. I drive the **** out of mine daily though

 

yea but you werent doing it on a nascar banked track and coming into turns at 60+mph trust me its waaay different

 

this has turned into the "I take worse care of my stuff than you" thread =) jk

 

ehh you can drive em hard, just gotta maintain em. change the oil every 5k with full syn. clean the filter change the fuel filter....

 

Have you ever pulled the intake tube off for any reason? If so, did ya make sure to disconnect that hose? If not, you could have caused a minor crack on the nipple that eventually let go.

 

he had an aftermarket intake on there a few weeks ago for testing but took it off and yea they prob didnt

 

also if u upgrade that prob wont happen even though that still sucks

 

Yeah except for Toyota's rusty truck frames, sludged engines and faulty ecu's , sticky accelerators.. .. ......I'll refrain from a google search.

Whats the fastest car they currently make that wont drive you right into a brick wall or river at full throttle

Something tells me this car is worth the minor annoyances.

 

We actually did pull it off and everything seemed fine when we re-installed the stock stuff. Kinda weird. Talked to the dealer today and they said they wont have it until wednesday because again I live in butt **** egypt

 

haha yea blythe is way the **** out there lol

 

The PCV line isn't that big of a deal and you can still drive it around if you can figure out a way to tape it at all. Those break pretty often on these cars actually, and are a bit of a pain in the ass for everyone. Mine didn't break as badly as yours, but I taped mine and drove it for about a week or so like that.

 

Yeah...you hafta be super careful when moving that pipe. If that hose is still attatched an you move the intake pipe even slightly, you can crack that plastic nipple. The braided line it's attatched to is under tension and is very stiff, so you really can't move it at all when it's attatched.

 

Hmmm Im more worried about the hole on the intake side. I dont want the turbo sucking in unfiltered air
Yeah man too damn far. Soon we are all moving to temecula though so wont be here anymore

Yeah I think I broke it when I was changing the filter. Dealer doesnt need to know that though

 

haha temecul aint any better than blythe lol still in bft lol and ah ha the truth comes out!

 

Lol I convieniently left that out when I saw them though

 

you can say that again, I got the chance to drive an Lexus IS-F yesterday, even with the v8 it's still slower than my car, the navi CRASHED on the test drive, and the car's engine ticks loudly enough the customer wanted ME to check it out after she had been through trouble with the dealer. Fail.
