SOLD

Man, I hate to say this, but it’s finally time to part with my 855 T5-R. My wife has finally put her foot down and made me decide one way or the other on getting this car out of the garage.

I've had this car since 2009, and have meticulously kept it maintained as my daily driver thru the years. It ...

This is a reluctant sale. I purchased a new daily driver last winter, and my wife has been getting on my case to finally part with my T5-R. I've had this car since 2009, and have meticulously kept it maintained as my daily driver. Since buying a new car, it's sat in the garage mostly this year apart ...

So, I'm at a bit of a crossroads right now, and I'm wondering if it's worth selling my 18 yr old car for a newer one now that I do a lot of driving for work. I've grown a bit attached to my T5-R, and I can't believe that it's worth what Edmunds TMV suggests...a whopping $1,050.

Taking into ...

I'm looking at buying a newer car and I'm wondering if it's worth selling my T5-R to have a downpayment. It's been a Texas registered car most of it's life (and the whole time I've owned it). The only snow it's seen is the last couple years I've lived here in Michigan attending Grad School. It's ...

Here's an update:

I found a couple of my hoses by the throttle body and down beside my air box. Sure enough, a couple of them were torn and disintegrating. So I replaced them. Right away, I had instant boost pressure build and it held thru the revs and fluttered when I let off the gas abruptly. It ...

Recently I've noticed a dramatic reduction in fuel economy and completely sluggish performance. My turbo boost gage will show a boost just like normal. But I feel no torque surge and hear a lot of air hissing. If my compressor blow off valve has failed, I'm kind of confused as to how my boost gage ...

The last couple days have been quite a saga for me. Basically, my daily driver is stuck in my garage. It turns over, but never catches.

It started Thanksgiving night. I pulled into the driveway, and when i went to move the car into the garage 3 hrs later, the car stalled and barely hobbled into the ...

I should add that in the rear, I noticed that the outer pad was more worn than the inner pad. I've read that this is a sign of something wrong with the pins...but I don't get that. (so...Even though the pads were replaced not too long ago, I'm just gonna go ahead and order 4 new ones all around.)
