BAD luck w/ my Celi... :(, I keep having problems... Options

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Hey everyone,

The past couple of days have been hard on my car....and me! It started last weds. I was driving on the highway and they were doing construction so it became a 1 lane road. With my luck i had a trucker in front of me, who was carrying gravel stones. i slowed down to get away from him. but when i got home i noticed the damage was done!

PAINT CHIPS! ahhhh

Then I was driving to work, and i heard a rumble from the passenger side of my vehicle. All of a sudden i hear a tear and my passenger vehicle lifts up and slams down i pull off to see what happened. My inner wheel well protector lineing came off and ripped not only my blinkers off and shattered them, but pulled my whole undercar kit with them! (crying my eyes out). I then pulled over and gathered what was left of the parts (not much). Not only did it wreck my lights but it knocked my front kit loose!!!

And then when i thought it couldnt get any worse!!!!.....

I got in it today to take it to a body shop to get an estimate. I turned it on and it stalled 3 times, and when i got it started it started smoking black smoke! I AM SO STRESSED! I feel like crying all the money i have poored into this car and all this sh!t happens. Now i need a tune up

I figure to get everything fixed i will be set back.....$500.00

Anyone have any words of happiness, cause i am so depressed about this!

Thanks for listening to me rant!

That really sucks man...I know how it feels when everything goes wrong with your car...I thought my car would never run again after six months of being destroyed, but it's back on the road and doing well, with only a ruined paintjob to show for the destruction that occured to the car.

Anyway, does the car drive? Does black smoke pour out of it all the time when it's driving, or only when it starts? If the car does drive, do you feel or hear anything weird, and does the car still feel like it has full power?

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Yeah it only pours out when i start it up, i mean it feels like it has full power, but, i dont know how to explain it...it doesnt sound right when i turn it on! ya know?

[Coomer]

Does it idle any differently? Are there any knocking sounds?

[Rjb23]

I know what you mean about those stupid trucks with crap flying off of them. Everytime I see one I get as far away as I can from it. One time I was about a 1/4 mile back from it and I still got hit with its crap.

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

It does idle diff, i thought it was maybe my intake? This whole week has been ****ty! anyone know where i can get a replacement 48" LED bar for the underneath of my car, RED!??? Thanks i would appreciate your help.
What a week (sigh)

well if it makes you feel any better i got this damn sqeaking sound in my front left side, ive changed the wheel bearing twice, im changing the struts soon and i know i need to balance the tire....but seriously after the second time changing that bearing...ive started to lose hope

I've been having bad luck too. After getting a new gas tank, somebody left a step ladder in the road and now I have another punctured the new tank My clutch is going out.....etc....

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

What cracks me up is on my invader kit, i have a loose part in the front where the little sides fold up and in kinda like an air vent type thing. and when you touch them, they are like super loose. Anyway of getting that tighter? can i just mold all the edges so nothing is loose? ahhhh not to mention my computer screan went so i am useing a TV...hahahaha i swear i am hexed!

[Sh0gunkid8721]

i have TONS of paint chips on my front lip too

I feel ur pain...sorry about the other stuff...The more u put into ur ride, the more bad stuff happens. I dunno why, it just does

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Yeah seriously! Hey if anyone knows where i can get a replacement 48" LED bar for the underneath of my car, RED!??? Thanks i would appreciate your help.

I did, they havent e-mailed me back. And when i called the guy who sold me them, he said "Thats the nature of the beast" I was like "WTF!" Anyone else got any suggestions?

[Coomer]

Maybe try a different retailer who sells the same light kit?

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Hey DMJC,

I am new to the board but have owned a 6th gen for about 4 years now. Sorry to hear about your car. It must be a bad week for Celicas. I have a 95 gt Conv dropped about 3" with 18"rims full body kit, full stero. Anyways I woke up Monday to my windows and my ds mirror busted in. It sucks but you have to think it could always be worse...
Hope you cheer up
