compsurge Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Please don't go to Pete stop in st Petersburg Florida.. the guy working on my car broke so many parts when doing my clutch, then to top it all off he didn't even tighten the top bolts to the transmission. I went back about 5 times to fix his mistake, then yesterday almost a year later discovered the loose bolts. He was at least kind enough to offer me beer while he finished up. The dude was drinking, I told him I need to drive. Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 You could probably argue criminal negligence if he had been drinking and working on vehicles. Someone could have died. That kind of thing should be reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickTej22 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 You could probably argue criminal negligence if he had been drinking and working on vehicles. Someone could have died. That kind of thing should be reported. Yeah I wish I pushed it more. I shoved my car down their throats to fix. He claimed my exhaust snapped(b.s.) and ripped out my o2 sensor. Then claimed it broke from being rusted(pointed to the ceramic which doesn't rust) he said he will steal one from the junk yard. I went through 3 before they got it fixed. He snapped a bolt in my steering knuckle, then just welded over where the bolt goes. This was a reputable speed shop, he no longer works there from what I hear. It was a nightmare.

claymore_6r Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 let your turbo get to this point http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m636/MotiveHero/temporary-76.jpg What's the proper maintenance for turbo? How to avoid looking like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted December 2, 2012 I Donated Too Share Posted December 2, 2012 I think that was coolant leaking somewhere else issue... it's in the forum somewhere or maybe even in this thread I don't remember... Artistic license but if the coolant ran out of the turbo like that would have to have a good crack in the housing so it would come under the 'don't beat the hell out of your turbo maintenance' heading.

compsurge Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 There isn't any maintenance to prevent a random failure. That bearing and coolant seal probably was leaking. You should just check your turbo coolant reservoir and radiator for signs of oil every once in a while. On these cars, a turbo seal leaking is more probable than a head gasket failure.

Motive Auto Works Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Yup, and keep ur eye on the exhaust smell and color every once and a while - an engine is very much like the human digestive system - you can diagnose a lot of problems by examining the waste product...I'll stop there lol!

Motive Auto Works Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Also more likely humidity from the exhaust mixing with oil from the worn seal - but time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwatts Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Use a blow torch to cut through exhaust studs. This car went to joe blows shop to have a converter put on and they set the car on fire. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/04/ja2una8a.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/04/ese5y4en.jpg I'm a native of South Carolina.

joelwatts Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 That guy has been through 3 accel pedals in the last 18 months. He was pissed about it until he found out that he is the only person who has ever broken one (3) in our area since the caliber has been out. I'm a native of South Carolina. I am a dying breed.
