My car loves to hate me. It has done so since day one. It never fails to break something when I plan to take the car to a motorsport event. It has always been one thing at a time. It started with the clutch then the T-case. This year the LF wheel bearing. I thought that was it and the car was going to be ok and ready for the Tx Mile. NOPE. The car wasn't done. Last night at Bonedaddy's the starter crapped itself. No warning at all. So last night I'm on the ground holding the solenoid in while my friend turns the key. In eight years of working on cars I've never seen a starter solenoid come out of a starter. Dare I put a larger turbo on the car? What's the most that could happen? This is what will happen. Simultaneously the block will ventilate itself and the trans will lock up sending me in to a pole of some sort. There will be an electrical fire bc the pole landed across the hood and crush the body harness and take out the fuel line. The fuel will ignite and make its was to the gas tank. BOOM. In the mean time I will jumping for joy.

true story! btw change your cams fast!

 

rolling the dice on the cams. more than likely I'm gonna hit snake eyes.

 

you held the solenoid while he started it? danger! high voltage!

 

meh... I'm still alive. plus its only like 200+ amps. i wouldn't have felt it since it would have killed me.

 

my starter in my lancer made a grinding noise for a while.... and I dropped it a couple of times when I replaced my tranny, and it seems to be fixed HAHAHA!

Some times I think the cars just like to show you they are still in control no matter if you like it or not!

 

true very true

 

lol true that! You would have gone to sleep.
