I think my U13 is cursed...
« on: Nov 3, 2004, 04:57PM »
Well, ive my my U13 just over a month now. this is all the problems ive had with it.

Keeping in mind these are not all problems with the car. just other crap

1. I run into a gutter, scratch up front left rim, pop the tyre, no spare so car stays there till next day cos it was late at night. also bent the tyre arm or somethin in the back. so all up new tyre and tyre arm was 400
2. 3rd week, the clutch decides to die. take it back to the car yard co i was slipping when i got it. they fix it for nothing :D
3. yesterday, the alarm decides to start fucking up. when i shut the doors it goes bezerk, cant start the car, cant do nothing. ring car yard, they tow it from my house to auto electrician. just got phone call saying its ready to be picked up then thank god
4. not really the cars fault, but ive been waiting 3 weeks for my new 17s and tyres to come from sydney that were supposed to be here last week.

Well thats my bitch for the day.

Thats some rough luck dude, i've had my pinny for 10months & nothings gone wrong yet. Maybe its got something to do with low K's, exepctional service history & being owned by a priest for 8 years. lol. holy radiator fluid (which i still haven't had to top up, haha).
Me thinks you car is cursed, i also think it will get better with time if you take care of it.
Have fun.

your problems are nothing compared to some :)

I'm guessing you got a good used car warranty from the car yard when you bought it ?
if so your lucky they replaced the clutch for nothing, most used car warranties don't usually cover clutches and similar items.

what are the 17"s that your getting?

Yeah i guess my luck isnt too bad.

They replaced the clutch because it was slipping (a little bit) when i got it.

And my family knows the guy who owns the car yard.

Rims I am getting are either Ozzy Racing 068's or 080's

Went back to ozzy tyres (where im getting my wheels) and they said friday at the latest, cos the truck ended up in townsville or some crap. btw the guys have been great at ozzy, its not there fault the truck doesnt bring there stock.
