Default ugh. the dc is down, AGAIN

well, as many of you people know, my stupid *** car was having a really bad coolant eating problem about 2 weeks ago. swapped in a new radiator and boom, fixed. the next day, started leaking again. few days later, found the leaky hose. boom fixed.


TONIGHT, taking my GF back to school, BOOM, i hear the tire rubbing like crazy. at first im like, damnit, stupid *** flat tires. i look, and find out my car wanted to be a tokyo drifter:





no idea how or why, other than the fact that i found bondo under my right rear tailight, suggesting that i was hit by a car (previous owner) (i got it from a stupid dealer) so the ONLY possible reason i can come up with is that it was fucked up already from the accident before i had the car, and it just finnished itself off tonight.


o well.


ordered a rear camber kit ( left and rear)
from ebay for $57 shipped USPS priority b/c a new OEM one from http://www.acuraoemparts.com is the same price, with ground shipping, and only one piece


if anyone cares, i got this kit:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...d=1,1


looks just like other companies, (UGR) and others i saw for around $100 on ebay that were brand name.

That sucks man, I know all about the car always being down. Mine is down more than it is running. The previous owner of my car was a douche bag too

Most people that buy Integras think they have a goddamn race car.

So they treat them like ****.

The ex owner of mine just put that silcone gasket **** under my valve cover on my car, so it leaks oil out from that area, well it will until I get the OEM gasket on it tommorow.

wow, that's pretty crazy. I have never seen one break like that therefore I agree that it must have something to do with a previous collision.

Easy fix atleast.
