i must say...
it's EXTREMELY touching to see such community support for a 10 year+ old car...
Hell, i'll even come help too (even if i'm just in charge of opening beers)
vl@de you bought your sh1t about the same time i did - and my car is not ready yet either (which also makes me thinking of turfing it - but i _need_ to see this thru)
you cannot lose your resolve now, stick it out man. Lets fix this bastage!!!
Me to smell a bring and repair. Vlade you helped the others, so we must try and reciprocate.
So.. when can we come over for a guess-what-the-sound-is and braai? 🙂
hey vlade. also never met you even though i only live 5km away. ive been where u are now. also almost sold mind. but i stuck out and now shes running quite well. not at her best but good enough. i also had the same symptoms as you. but in my case it was the igniter on my management system.
stoopid ignitors
stoopid management systems
stoopid sx's
whats up with this strange love affair/love to hate affair we all have with these cars???
vlade, come park your car at my place. i'll fix it, then we can all have a "come-and-help-vlade-fetch-his-car and braai"!!!!!
Yo Vlade!! Lets all just get together at sum point and discuss ur car... a braai and figure it out event... over a weekend! lets put our heads together and get his car out OF THE GUTTER GUYS!!
HAHAHA looks like everybody's just keen on a braai if you ask me. Nobody mentioned helping out without mentoning a braai. 😂
The other guys started it!! 😮 😮 Im innocent, I swear!
Are u crazy 😮 u can`t sel ure car ,i just bought one and ure selling . I think that braai and raai idea is a good idea 😛
:idea:
ok ok to keep this pandemic under quarantine I suggest we all start cursing heavily in here - then Toybee will delete this whole thread and it will be like it never happened and everyone will be happy once more
A braai... sounds like a plan, but the car might be going in this weekend to get checked out 😕

Ye you are the funniest on the forum 😉
I suppose I'll relate my feelings on the topic as well; it's rather interesting and frightening to hear of all these potential problems.
When my clutch started slipping badly I drove it on the highway where a n00b in a 200 merc slk started fooling around with me. As he pulled of at the next off-ramp and flashed me one last time I felt some awesome level of pride that I could actually keep up with such a marque. Then of course my clutch gave way completely and after spending 45minutes in the SUN the AA had to tow me to the clutch shop who happened to smash my windshield in the process of fixing the clutch [don't ask, it doesn't get any more clear].
That day I learned that I am addicted to boost and the simple experience of driving a turbo rwd. I also caught a first glimpse into the world of owning a sports car/modded import, suddenly you are basically a cash-cow with dripping full udders of cash.
Seeing as it is a performance car out of guarantee maintenance is going to be a concern. I can agree with what everyone has said so far but I want to add that you should sell if it will make you happier. The stress you are enduring is caused by the knowledge and realisation that you are going through a tough frustrating time & that you might have to make a big decision. I have this stress on a daily basis coz I'm crazy 😕
Finding friends like the people here provides the support that you might need, and work on your patience, or take Syndols, you can later recover from the possible side effects. Eventually the car has to be rather stable under normal conditions, i.e. if you don't get screwed around and sort out all the kinks.
If something brakes its a good excuse to upgrade instead of just replacing, cost is relative. Other than an enormous amount of alcohol what is really going to be worth spending so much money on? New paint in the living room? A few stocks? A new golf club set? Last time I checked nothing (F15's/Skylines excluded) compares to my 200sx 😀
Of course time will tell..and the "new" 350Z's are continually being depreciated, always an option 😉
ps, I personally wouldn't delete any posts, the warning could've been fine IMO; and the whole experience at least transparent, but I'm also a nutter for free speech & expression of emotion as well as thoughts so who cares. I'm more peeved off that I missed something 🙄
what a fooking moutful!
well said tho - unfortunately the boost bug bit me REALLY hard.. i'm gonna take a couple years to recover... heheheheh
what you mean F15? you mean like the fighter jet? 🙄

Yes, but I meant any aircraft, lots of G's there and no track to speak of.
We'll have to stick together to recover from the boost bug 😉
It's true what you saying about finding support in friends... reading all the inspiration from the forum and after helping Toby with his car I felt inspired just wanted to spring back into fixing her... so at the moment, I'm not as fed up as I was 😂
But I'm still very concerned about the problem.
