Was F-ing rear ended today!

[90TGP]

Well I just sunk $750 into my car today after having my cross-x piped replaced and engine cleaner ran through the motor. Spent $80 yesterday for a new turbo heat shield.

Well today went pretty good after I got my car back from the mechanic. I have a slight boosting problem. When I floor it hard upto 35mph or so, the engine will just cut out on me. It's like I hit the speed governor or something. So I have to take my car back on Monday to the mechanic to see what the problem is. I think it might be the wastegate acuator rod got shortened a bit/ pushed in, so it's overboosting. Or that the computer is not used to the car running proplery, since I've driven the car for 2 years with a cracked cross-x pipe.

But that's just the tip of the ice berg. I got rear ended today by a woman in an Escort. Noone was hurt. There wasn't much damage, just a cracked rear bumper cover and it bulging out from under the tail lights. I also have a cracked lisence plate cover and a broken plate light. But I think that's the only damage. Yes, the lady did have insurance, and she was pretty nice, not pulling any BS. I did file a police report. I'm going to get some estimates tomorrow, and will show my car to my insurance agent on Monday.

And I just had my car washed today too. This sucks the big one. I was planning on entering my car into a few sport compact shows in my area, and this had to happen.

Oh well, that's life. I hope my insurance agent gives me some good money.

Anyone currently parting out a TGP that can sell me a rear bumper for cheap? Or know where I can get one for cheap?

That sucks. Sorry to hear about that.

Here's a bumper cover on ebay. It's off of a 92 SE, but it will work :D

Chris A. had one for sale at one point recently.. I dunno if he's still got it, but if the insurance company is paying.. that cover was real nice.
