rear left taillight broken, bumper cracked

SideWinderGX · 02-21-2007, 04:44 PM

eesh, another post another problem, sorry.

heres the picture:

not sure what parts i have to order, or where i can get them from. any way to fix that crack in the bumper? the paint is chipped off and theres a crack in it. the 'TURBO' metal insignia thing is inside the car, so i just have to focus on the taillight...hes knocking it off the price.

and the exhaust, which im not sure is getting fixed...i took a picture of it, but i can describe it...the pipe ends like a foot or two behind the front wheels. everything after that is missing. so ill need a downpipe, cat, and a muffler right? hes either gonna buy one or knock all that off of the price.

thanks again

Sounds like the downpipe is there. Just a cat or test pipe, and a cat-back.

Post a pic of the exhaust.

How much is he asking for it?

SideWinderGX · 02-21-2007, 05:08 PM

oh, and the speedometer doesnt work. and the e-brake light is on for some reason...it doesnt seem to work. and a wee bit of oil on some stuff in the engine, big mike says its a seal. then theres absolutely nothing else wrong with it.

heres a pic....i didnt wanna get all dirty from the snow, so i took it upside down *goofy smile*

im driving it back in like 15 or 20 mins so ill take a few more pics of the exhaust just in case. and the oil.

Looks like the flange on that downpipe is f'd up. Post a closer pic of that when you get a chance and post a pic of where that oil is like you said.

SideWinderGX · 02-21-2007, 09:07 PM

turns out theres a crack before the first cat in the pipe. so im just gonna get a whole new exhaust, cats and muffler and all. 3 inch, preferably =P

in red is where the oil is. its not a ton, its just kinda lightly coating everything. not on the 3000 pipe, behind it.

eesh, parents are really being sticklers about this. theyre saying offer him 1500 for the car cause of all the problems with it, n if he gives a stern no then its not happening. any idea on where to find the glass panel for the rear light?

Is that a sponge type air filter?

SideWinderGX · 02-21-2007, 09:10 PM

up close, yes it looks spongy. is that a problem?

redmaro · 02-21-2007, 09:17 PM

I've heard that over a period of time they start to disintigrate(sp?), and all that spongy stuff starts going into your intake manifold. But im not sure.

SideWinderGX · 02-21-2007, 09:22 PM

yay, another problem :-D thanks for the info though, ill switch it out after everything else is done.

BTW I also had the bumber on my camaro cracked, and I was able to get it fixed. So you should be able to get the cracks on your bumber fixed.
