My Gli 1.5
MY ROXOR GLI 1.5 Anyway,
ive had it 3 weeks and its already cost me 2 grand...good thing my dads paying or i would have died.
I dont have my P's yet...only 18 in july
and i was doing a handbrake start on the damn steep hill, anyway, gave it a bit to much gas and spun the wheels across the intersection..wich was pretty cool at the time....
Mum was yelling "Smell that, thats a new set of tires your guna need"
We got about 2 k/s up the road and i heard a wird noise and heard a big clunk noise..i pulled over straight away on to watch my "harmonic something wheel thingy" roll across the road and into a bush...
**** i said
Anyway..itll be fixed tonigt, the whole engine had to be ripped apart and **** loads of bits replaced...costing all up 2 grand.
I am kinda pissed and toooo scared to use the thing after this experience....
Is this something that hppens ofter in the 1.5 gli's (97 model)
the guy said spinnign the wheels does put strain on the motor but wouldnt have coused the part to deteriarate...
will it be ok for wheel spinning with mates in the back when i finally get to 18?

Can you give a list of what was wrong with your car?
Where did you get it from? Did it pass a roadworthy?
Spinning the wheels with your mates in the back will cause more damage than just by yourself, no? Due to the extra weight...

It was owned by a chick in a country town...never done anything really...cept k's back and forward to work...there was some dirst roads..
the thing that controls the timing for all the pistons n ****.....cant rmember what its called, had a cool name
well that pretty much snapped of after doing a handbrake start...(with a lil bit of wheel spin) across an intersection....my mum was next to me as im still on L's
but yeah, muyst have just been a 1 of and i was just unlucky...it passed road worthy easily....cost me 50 bucks...25 for the paper work and 25 for a few padds...
the motors been completely rebuilt...and it should be all good from now on
