Heyyyy everybody.....


i am definitely the king of irony....

so, i didnt have a (working) lcd screen for two weeks since i completed my CarPC install.... and i finally get mine.... the same day my car goes to the dealership about a few problems that it has...

i wont get the car back until tuesday, shame... it needs a new water pump and needs the accelerator wire and cruise wire replaced. If you know about subarus, you need to dissassemble about half the front end to chnage the water pump... so yeah, tuesday it will be done...

I definately know! I had a 1990 Legacy and it had about 300k miles on it, original water pump. I get it, and I figure it needs to be changed. First of all, the car was from the East Coast, so it was a bit rusted. The screws had rusted into the water pump and the holder. Two of my "semi-mechanic" friends couldn't get it. So I had the dealership do it, and their mechanics were ready to kill me afterwards, becuase they charged a standard flat rate for a water pump change, and mine was not ordinary! Well, after that and a bunch of other repairs into my first car I never wanted to let go, the repair bills became more than half the cost of my new car! At least I sold it for $110....

Well, just saying, yes I do know...

lol.......


and one thing... you sold your waterpump for 110? ^^

No no no, the entire car!

Purchase price: $900
New Axles (The weels loked like this / ---- \): $500
Alternator: $300
New Front Fenders to get rid of exterior rust: $200
Water Pump: $400
Radiator: $350
All belts: $200
Fixed Electrical short that nobody could find for forever: $800
Running new wire for the stereo: $100
Fix leaking Head Gasket: Didn't do it. Way too much -- $2500

The gasket is where I drew the line. It was way too late though. I bought my first car, and I loved it. I put all my money into it, and really couldn't get anything back. I thought I would have it forever. I figured if I keep fixing it, what else can go wrong? Everything I guess. They towed it away for $110.

you should have made a bomb or something and blow it up....

Or had a blast and driven it off a cliff or something....

hah.. yea

actually the stock rear speakers are still there (In the doors)

and i thought about putting a sub in, but htta would require another amp and a sub box or two in the trunk....

i might... now that i think about it, but for now... ill swap out the front speakers eventually and put in infinities... with the amp and sound card it will be quite good ^^

for my next mods.... XM Radio and Window Tinting.

im getting my car back on tuesday, and will install the screen and tint the windows... then post some pictures and tour my car around to show my friends.

unfortunately (in the car perspective) i am going to a college thing from saturday to july 28th... so i wont be able to work on the car or anything :/

but july 29th.... heh... back to work ^^
