does ur engine start light turn on when u press the clutch? (the little green light) if it has a hard time turning on then yeah i'd say your clutch pedal sensor may be bad.
i'd say either DFW or SA, Austin is rather blue(fyi, might find some dildo carrying liberals). Houston is probably overpop, wouldn't really recommend but there are some nice car shops and tx2k is hosted there. should have no issue finding jobs in any of the big cities.
if you're into racing...
i just bought & installed the steeda jacking rails, install went smooth and they fit fine. i did have to cut up the sealant/caulk which was pretty easy to do with a razor blade. (they say not all cars have it so yours may or may not have it)
recently installed the Steeda clutch spring and wow does it make the clutch feel more normal and a more precise release. just got my Steeda jacking rails installed (which i ordered last sunday....talk about fast free shipping). plan on installing springs next(hence why i got the jacking rails)...
good ure fine but make sure u get checked out by a doctor on their insurance penny. never know when things might pop up.
as for the car? hard to tell if it will be totaled or not since the airbags didn't deploy.
people have done this before on other cars. i wouldn't recommend it though as stress cracks along with other things could happen since the rotor was not designed that way.
that sounds almost exactly like rod knock(spun bearing/s)....does it make the noise around 2500rpms? if so most likely. if bought new i'd take it back, hopefully swap or something. If used, hopefully you still have warranty on it and if u can still take it back.
do check the oil level like...
do you happen to have 1 of those devices that records your driving? (to give discount)
either that or what voodoo says.......i wouldn't put it past an insurance company from doing so.
good thing you walked away from that. am not sure how all it works but if there's any dealer repairs, they'll show up on the system later down the road if you want to trade it in...and thus take a hit on that even if the dealer repaired it.
a friend of mine bought a new off the lot truck that...
