i was going to go but my car has been to unbearable without a/c. so i finally broke down and put in my new condenser and charged my a/c

 

So how's about that ******* that got arrrested by the cops on his bike?? hahaha. i bet he's COMPLETELY regretting showing off for the crowd. all he had to do was, keep going to 696, and come back in a while, or something.

 

Anyone know of a tint place in Metro Detroit that has ticket warranty?

 

notorious tintz

 

I could check that place out.
I'm trying to get 35% all around.

 

i got my done at 15 and gratiot, forget the name, great work, and warranty as well for tickets. idk if you've seen mine at woodward, but if u do, take a check at quality, granted that was a second tint job done on it, unhappy with the first.

 

Shaders, they do amazing work.
All my cars/trucks have been tinted there.

 

yeah they do. the previous tint i had, my buddy did for me, he picked the tint up free from his work, and well, it looked kinda bad from inside, and once i got a good deal from shaders, thru a place my buddy works at, i couldnt pass it up.

 

That. Where i got mine and has the 45$ take it off put it on as many times as needed warranty lol.

They'll put w/e % u want where ever u want it lol

 

Just want to make sure I'm not retarded here, but if your car shakes violently while braking from the front right of the car, yet is perfectly smooth when driving normally, that would be a warped rotor, correct? I told my buddy it was his rotors, and the shop he took it to seems to think it is his tires... I think it is just a ploy to get him to buy tires, but don't want to speak out of turn

 

What price ball park am I looking at from either Shaders or Notorious?
All windows, besides windshield at 35%.

 

Usually, but it could be the tires. But coming from one side doesnt sound like brakes at all, unless something seized up on one side. warped rotors are usually in pairs. You would really have to get it up and look at it to tell. But it does sound a lot like a warped rotor not tires.

I paid 245 i think including the warranty for the back 5. 3 of them limo and 2 at 20%

 

Well it was vibrating from both sides, just really bad on passenger side. That and it would also happen at very very slow speeds, like even from an idle roll braking. Otherwise it was fine... I just don't see how that would be tires if it was fine when not braking, but I definitely don't know everything haha

 

So I've got a few issues with my car currently.
I am losing coolant, with no visible leaks, I have an oil leak around my valve cover, and I possibly have the worst turbo surge/flutter that I have ever heard, which only happens in third and fourth.
Could any of these issues be related in any way or am I looking at three different issues?
If anyone local wants to help me trouble shoot, you are more than welcome, I can't seem to find any solutions yet.

Here are a couple of videos of what the surge sounds like:

^^ I don't know much on this, but it sounds like something is causing it to stick or blocking the "blow off" sound. Maybe a bearing?

 

i had the oil leak as well. my cars curently in the dealer getting a head gasket. as for the BPV noise i think your stock(if hasnt been upgraded) has a bad spring. need on i got one. as for the coolant is it blowing white smoke?.

 

There was a thread like that with the same sounds you're having. Pretty sure you either have too soft or hard of a spring in there.

 

A bad tire would cause a shake/vibration no matter what the condition not just braking..so Im confident to say its the rotors...just get some rotors and put em on yourself..its easy as hell.

 

That i can definitely agree and back up, seeing as that is my job... fml, i hate tires, haha.

 

Not my car, not my problem, just wanted to make sure I was right

 

No white smoke, which is kind of weird, also there doesn't seem to be any coolant in the oil or in the cylinders. I think it may be going through the turbo, as odd as that sounds and if it is possible.
I have currently lost almost two quarts worth of coolant since I noticed it was running low, and I still have no idea where it is going since there still aren't any visible signs of it anywhere.
I didn't have any issues with the engine until shortly after I seafoamed the entire engine (the oil, intake manifold, and gas tank), do you guys think that could have anything to do with my coolant issues?
Also, are there any other symptoms of a porous block other than losing coolant?
Do you guys think that if the coolant is by chance going through the turbo that that may be the cause of the insane surge, since the bpv and coolant port are both on the intake side of the turbo?
Sorry for the paragraph but when my mind gets going it's hard to stop, lol.

I have the green spring for the forge bpv in it currently and have no issues until last Friday when I ran into the coolant issues.

 

Also, forgot to mention, this is the thread that I started for the issues, I described what my experience was on Friday when all of this started happening.

i dont know if the turbo would be it, if that would be i think oil would be lost as well. is you passenger floor wet? that could be where coolant leaks. as for a porus block i have heard some claims of that. i seafoamed my car and it had no issues afterwards. if you want to make shure its not the turbo take the lower part of the charge pipes off and see if any comes out i guess

 

I concur. Efff tires. What shop you work at? I work at a belle tire lol. 305/35/24s are my favorite!!!! /sarcasm

 

discount tire, 696 and vandyke. and bro, how about them run flat 335/20/20 for corvettes? seriously, putting 20's on a vette, is nice for show, but where are you gonna drive it in MI with all the potholes?
