Hello I have a major question for all you good call freaks...

My tailpipe (exhaust) is rattling a bit when I start the car and I change gear and well, the car isn't available for me to check right now but well, what is the most likely symptom?

Razgriz · May 4, 2006, 07:12 PM

lose bolt?

Falstaff · May 4, 2006, 07:37 PM

tail pipe hanger...rubber and wire arrangement...you can lose the two in the middle but the one on the end causes all the noise...it keeps hitting his heat shield...
all Yugos have them...

Dark Lord · May 4, 2006, 07:51 PM

problem, propbably just a loose bolt like was mentioned. solution? saws all right before the cat and take it all off.

good point. i think the rubber may have actually been a luxury option on those.

Sandok · May 4, 2006, 09:55 PM

Well rubber allows for a bit of flex so it ain't that bad...

CDsDontBurn · May 4, 2006, 10:38 PM

lol.....you guys said rubber

Razgriz · May 4, 2006, 10:42 PM

i share your amusement cd's

Sandok · May 4, 2006, 10:49 PM

I fail to see the humor... If I said wankel, I'd understand but rubber?...

CDsDontBurn · May 4, 2006, 10:51 PM

what if you had said rubber wankel?

Sandok · May 4, 2006, 10:52 PM

Now that would be worth quoting and saving in a sig

CDsDontBurn · May 4, 2006, 10:54 PM

what? rubber wankel?

CDsDontBurn · May 10, 2006, 09:01 PM

my 8 is gone

Dark Lord · May 10, 2006, 09:12 PM

at the shop, or repoed?

CDsDontBurn · May 11, 2006, 05:14 AM

neither.....

CDsDontBurn · May 11, 2006, 05:17 AM

any questions about the incident can be sent over to this thread.

Sandok · May 14, 2006, 05:50 PM

I got a question... To tune a car for perforamce (not for jumping suspension and all), how much would it cost in general?

That means Engine, Suspension, brakes and tires... Don't think I can change much else without having to redo the car (chassis and all)

You can spend 1000 dollars or you can spend a million. Literally.

Sandok · May 14, 2006, 05:57 PM

Very true... Well my budget is small because well, I had initally wanted to buy the new Ford Focus ST but my folks refuse to let me take a small debt and thus, I'd rather tune my sexy beast of a car:

I know Corsa's tune well and I was thinking of getting just a bit more oompf out of that 1.4liter engine, lower it and all, change the HIDEOUS coulor a few other touches... Maybe a nice discreet body kit

BWX · May 14, 2006, 06:27 PM

ECU flash or chip- (if possible)- intake - exhaust - (cat back if possible) - springs, (maybe a strut bar- strut brace) - sports alignment.. tires - wheels..

Or do nothing and wait- just drive it until you can buy a real car and save your money for that- which will probably perform better out of the box than that car tuned, and then put money into that. <-- probably what I would do.

CDsDontBurn · May 14, 2006, 07:38 PM

save up some money....once you've enough money saved up, use your current car + the money saved up as a down payment for a RX8

. Can't go wrong w/a wankel engine

........just don't do as i did

Dark Lord · May 15, 2006, 04:06 AM

damn recliner down here in the basement. things so damn comfy that i fell asleep watching tv again...

CDsDontBurn · May 15, 2006, 05:06 AM

my baby is finally asleep. i can post w/o any distractions

The RX8 is 55k here (in CHF) and the Ford Focus ST is 36k... Much easier for a student like me to afford and I already am about a third of the way there
