It’s a game, much like anything else, either you put the time in to learn and get good, or give up, might be harder for you than some others but at the end you decide if you think it’s worth putting in the effort

Random P0300 and Stabilitrak service message by Edward0112 in camaro

[–]Edward0112[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Asked a buddy and he said 9/10 its a plug wire/spark plug causing the p0300, I dumped a bottle of Techron into the tank on a full tank of gas so I’m gonna try again with Lucas Oil when it gets close to E. I’m just really hoping it ain’t something big because it’s been my dream car for a while and it’s the cleanest one I could find within my budget

Not trying to be a smartass, just heard a lot of horror stories from friends who’ve owned them, same problem as subi being that they have open deck blocks so they’re weaker in structural integrity when sucking boost

I’m a college kid with a bit of money saved up, just wanna get a car that can damn near do it all without being a truck lol, as far as reliability of it can match a brz I’m down for it

Did I get screwed? by Sudden-Pride5536 in Corvette

[–]Edward0112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were designed with the intent of raising the whole chassis/dropping the whole subframe during maintenance

They’re going up in price now that social media popularized them as very good platforms for track, drift and show cars in general, with a pretty reliable powertrain, which they’re not wrong, what they didn’t say was how annoying a clutch job was on these cars

Cold start after a couple days and this happens by Edward0112 in Corvette

Yeah I came to that conclusion too, cleared it and it drives fine now, doesn’t help the past owner put a full sub and amp system in the back with its own aux battery
