Peter's PISSED! -getting less pissed, but more broke!!
 

so you all know about my WOT when the cat is hot problem and that the best anyone here can think of that hasnt been tryed is the fuel pump not pumping enough when it gets hot...Anyway resently me Gastank started to leak :x so i will be replacing it and the fuel pump since in there and even if its not the problem its still 14years old and could stand to be updated :roll: , so i got it all priced out tank, sender, and pump which was around 325 if memory serves an that work was going to be done next week. and yesterday my car was up on the hoist because i keep hearing a squeaking/creaking sound from the strut so we check it out quick, and it looks like my left rear is on its way out :evil: (lots of play at the top) AND my read break is sticking on :evil: . also it seams to me that my ELC pump run a hell of alot so im thinking i got a leak in one of the struts :evil:

And now to top to the whole funking $hit fest off I got this today.......
pulling out from work and a big Yukon through up a big stone and now there is this 2" wide chip in the windsheild :evil:

Fuck Im pissed off!!!!

time for a New HUD windhsield

I'd followed that Yukon and ...

A guy driving on the shoulder tossed a rock and did that to mine. I got his license number and took it to the local CHP. -They didn't care. I filed a report, but they just didn't care. Desk clerk told me "It'd be your word against his." I was like "But the guy was driving COMPLETELY on the shoulder! WTF??" -They didn't care. Said I could try my insurance co, they might get a settlement out of the other guy's insurance co., -except that for me, the cost of a windshield is less than the cost of my deductible. I'm already on my third windshield, we have limestone trucks on our roads for a local company that makes cement, and their trucks leave a wake of rocks behind them, that have been responsible for one of my cracked windshields.

As much as I hate to say it, when this happens, I think you're just screwed and all you can do is pay for a new windshield.

I feel you pain. Been there. Done that. Still have a chip from the last one, waiting for one more good crack before I go for my fourth windshield.

that sux Pete, one of the reasons I have full coverage. free glass. ;)

While we're on the subject, my Bonnie has a nice little crack on the bottom-left corner, about an inch below the HUD projection. It's only about 3 or 4 inches in length, but does it still pose a safety issue? I have full-coverage, I just don't want my Bonnie in the shop for that long :-P

call ahead of time and tell them you have a HUD windsheild.
should only take about an hour.

Peter, sell your SSEi for a SE and you'll be happy!

well ONE problem is fixed, after about 3 hours on the hoist to take the rear drum off on the stuck break (yes i drove with it on...ALOT :? ) it turned out to be the small spring had broken and the shoes where not coming back in. Is this a common problem? because its the 3rd that i have broken and there was evadidance that it had happen before i got hte car awell (peice of spring inbeded in the shoe :lol: )

also the chip wasnt 2" that was just a pissed off exaduration...its only 1.25" accross :roll:

still need a windsheild , rear shocks, Gastank/fuel pump/sender, and possible nes bushings and stuff inthe rear suspention for good measure :lol:

Peter.. that sucks. I recently did the rear brake shoes/drum.. and notice ALSO :shock: that my left rear strut is having a small leak issue too :cry:

Mine was cause I drove bout 5km with parkin brake on ( for some reason.. my brake lights don't come on when parking brake is engaged.. and I was wondering why my car was lugging ) so needless to say.. worn out pads.. glazed and overheated.. so started crackin on the pads..

I just replaced my front right side stuck caliper.. if that makes you feel better :lol:

Try going to speedy autoglass.. they maybe able to silicone fill the crack on the windshield for like $24-$50 CAD.. had it done on my previous car and you can't notice it ( I can cause I know where it is.. but it's barely even noticeable )

Peter Mudock's right, you can get them patched up. Let me ask a question while we're on the subject, are windshileds with HUD, different?

If you're interested, I just had the front windshield replaced on Cathy;s Acura Vigor last week at an Auto Glass place in Brampton for an amazing $175.00 plus tax with a reciept. If you're interested I can give you the number and contact name.

the chip can not be fixed because it has crackes coming out from it (happend instantly) Also i already got a quote from speedy $543.37 installed only bitch is that my good friend that works there when on a two week vacation the same day it happend :x
I also got a qoute today from work and my boss got me a great deal for a windsheild for $240+tax :D then i would just have to get the glass guy at work to put it in for me...but me and him dont get along like Peas and carrots :lol: so i dont know how that will go :roll:

And Frank, Yes there is a differance with a HUD windsheild in that it lets you see the image properly


And Murdoc the parking break wasnt on so thre wouldnt be a warning light or ding

[quote="Maymybonneliveforever"]Peter Mudock's right, you can get them patched up. Let me ask a question while we're on the subject, are windshileds with HUD, different?

Yes, HUD windshields have a special coating on them. If you install a non HUD windshield into an HUD Bonnie, it will be very blurry

That sux man. Its just like getting dings, not much you can do about em. EDIT: Insurance Wise

The windshield can be repaired as long as it doesn't have a crack bigger than 6" and should not cost very much. My last glass repair was about $35. I got it fixed right away so that sucker wouldn't have the chance to run and then it would cost me a lot more.

You're windshield din't look all that bad Peter, I think it will eventually spred though. At least it gives you time to look out for a great price on a new one.


Good luck.

yeah well i got 2 more qoutes, one 240+tax the other 229+tax, but im thinking that it might be a cheaper glass and i might get a bad image if i go with that one :?


Also i got another problem crossed off the list!
Tank sender and pump all done!!
And a bonus...my gas gauge is accurate again :D

Thats the same one that broke on mine in the same spot lol :D

Way do go Peter, I think I may have to do that one day also, gonna have to get pricing when I have a chance. As for the windshield, I would imaging you'd have warranty, but if you're unsure then go with the 240 plus tax installed

Thanks for the pictures.

well as you guys know i gained and fixed another problem that made "Peter MORE pissed" lol cost me $60

Peter the car is coming along great. When you replaced the pump did you scan your car to see how your KR is doing.
