ok I have a couple newbie questions...
I'm having some problems with my Tib project because of silly money pits along the way.
One of the problems is there is this noise my tib is making right now. My bf thinks I'm crazy so he wont help, but I've driven my car for 5 years now-long enough to know and feel there is something wrong-and plainly hear.
My check engine light was coming on- i thought it was a gasket leak b/c ive been meaning to replace the header/exhaust flange gasket for a little bit now. the end of sept. my bf decided to be nice and change it for me with the new one i got from DC sports for my sc sports headers. he decided to also wrap both my headers too since I had the wrap and the intake manifold gasket for it just waiting to be put in. Ran into a problem where the place gave me the wrong gaskets so i had to reuse the stock ones which were a little bent up until I could afford to get new ones. Everything ran great for a while-sounded sweet as F* and then toward the middle of october the check engine light started kickin on and off again. then my car started making this noise and it was real suttle at first then started growing louder and louder until now you can hear it everytime i pull up next to something and it echoes and all i smell when i start up the car is exhaust fumes- it SUCKS. the oil is fine, fluids are all fine, spark plugs n wires are fine.
also another random question- is it ok to bag your car AND supercharge it? is the handling crappier or better? I like the way that white bagged tib looked..
BTW someone crashed into my fender-got it replaced though Thankfully, 2 tires got nails and bolts stuck in them b/c I think someone is out for my car- just got new plates after 1 1/2 months of waiting b/c someone stole my plates out here. And got all the paint for my car to finish the project but ran into more rust and a friend and I got into a fight and he stole my primer. Things just not going right..
thanks for any responses
