Default Guys CONVINCE me to keep my turbo civic!!!

wassup this is actually PapaVTEC but it wont let me switch accounts, i have a Civic EX turbo. this is my problem.... I know that its winter here, the weather sucks, and now my car has a bad iac valve or so i think, the idle is up and down up and down all the time even when warm. and my tranny is loud, so that might be going, someone recently broke into my car and stole the system out of it, someone else backed into my car and broke the front corner lens, and im just down in the dumps about it all, so if you could please give me some hope before i sell this car and buy my dads Acura legend gs. TIA -dave

man, think about the looks on others faces when a CIVIC beats them!!!!

Tranny, noisy clutch in or out!?!? I know the answer so get back to me.
All you have to do is replace the IAC valve come on!!! (if that is the problem)

Damm dave,

Keep the thing. I've been over and over this about my own car (needs rings, new fenders, new hood, new bumpers, paint job, etc......) But I guess my love affair with my car overwhelms me sometimes. I just can't part with it, because I know I'll miss her, and I'll end up spending more money on something else.

You'll miss it when it's gone.

My car needs, brakes, body work, paint job, wheels, tires, a new front clip. Guess what I'm still keeping the bitch.

Keep it.

Winding noise, smooth or rough!?!

Either or 1st check the tranny fuild, did you need some, did it go away no, then

rough (choppy sounding), does it get quieter in higher gears? If yes, imput shaft bearings.
