Thread: Wow! I'm having some BS luck!!! >:-/

My b13 has been off the road since last August. Finally broke her out in May with a new stock style muffler. Eveythings been the same as always till 2 weeks ago when I nailed a 5 year long idle issue....she wouldn't idle till warmed up to temp. I was over joyed! Then a week later, last Monday, my z32 MAF decided it was done working. It was reading 0.01v, dead. I borrowed a friends who's was mint and ran my car perfectly. After calling 7 junk yards Friday, I sourced one already pulled and on the shelf. Yesterday I drive 40 miles round trip to get it. I brought it home to find IT TOO was junk reading 8v!!! SMH! So I bought one off another buddy today and all was well. Just now in making some adjustments in the tune, it'd seem my alternator has decided IT no longer wants to work!!! Wtf!!!!! Having my laptop plugged in I pulled up diagnostics to see 11v from the battery. I watched it drop to 10, 9, 8, 7, then 6 when she began to stutter and lights dimmed. I shut her down and tossed on the battery charger.

The boost gods flippin hate me right now! UGGGGHHH!!! Just venting I suppose. But really, wtf!

Just take your time, be patient and come back.

One thing I have learned; Patience is key when it comes to this hobby and you kinda have to realize it's not always going to come together. Be patient and it sure as hell pays off

Gotta go down to come back up, brotha!

It's true....it's just my luck though.

Like my 84 Chevy pu truck a few weeks ago. She flooded out, ok. This is a somewhat normal occurance being equipped with a carb and manual choke. My impatient ass killed the battery trying to get her going again....fine. This happens sometimes as well :-D I carry cables and got a jump only to have the starter quit in that moment!!! But wait, there's more. I sourced a ride home and came back the next day in my car with a new starter in hand. It was still under warranty having only done it last year! I ripped out the starter to find that the parts store sold me the wrong one :-/

Always a damn hitch with me!

Old cars...nuff said.

Yeaaaah buddy! And I love em! Lol!!!
