So how's about that ******* that got arrrested by the cops on his bike?? hahaha. i bet he's COMPLETELY regretting showing off for the crowd. all he had to do was, keep going to 696, and come back in a while, or something.
i got my done at 15 and gratiot, forget the name, great work, and warranty as well for tickets. idk if you've seen mine at woodward, but if u do, take a check at quality, granted that was a second tint job done on it, unhappy with the first.

All my cars/trucks have been tinted there.
yeah they do. the previous tint i had, my buddy did for me, he picked the tint up free from his work, and well, it looked kinda bad from inside, and once i got a good deal from shaders, thru a place my buddy works at, i couldnt pass it up.

Just want to make sure I'm not retarded here, but if your car shakes violently while braking from the front right of the car, yet is perfectly smooth when driving normally, that would be a warped rotor, correct? I told my buddy it was his rotors, and the shop he took it to seems to think it is his tires... I think it is just a ploy to get him to buy tires, but don't want to speak out of turn

Usually, but it could be the tires. But coming from one side doesnt sound like brakes at all, unless something seized up on one side. warped rotors are usually in pairs. You would really have to get it up and look at it to tell. But it does sound a lot like a warped rotor not tires.
So I've got a few issues with my car currently.
I am losing coolant, with no visible leaks, I have an oil leak around my valve cover, and I possibly have the worst turbo surge/flutter that I have ever heard, which only happens in third and fourth.
Could any of these issues be related in any way or am I looking at three different issues?
If anyone local wants to help me trouble shoot, you are more than welcome, I can't seem to find any solutions yet.
Here are a couple of videos of what the surge sounds like:

That i can definitely agree and back up, seeing as that is my job... fml, i hate tires, haha.
I have currently lost almost two quarts worth of coolant since I noticed it was running low, and I still have no idea where it is going since there still aren't any visible signs of it anywhere.
I didn't have any issues with the engine until shortly after I seafoamed the entire engine (the oil, intake manifold, and gas tank), do you guys think that could have anything to do with my coolant issues?
Also, are there any other symptoms of a porous block other than losing coolant?
Do you guys think that if the coolant is by chance going through the turbo that that may be the cause of the insane surge, since the bpv and coolant port are both on the intake side of the turbo?
Sorry for the paragraph but when my mind gets going it's hard to stop, lol.
I have the green spring for the forge bpv in it currently and have no issues until last Friday when I ran into the coolant issues.
Also, forgot to mention, this is the thread that I started for the issues, I described what my experience was on Friday when all of this started happening.

[QUOTE=Sanctafied;6536534]No white smoke, which is kind of weird, also there doesn't seem to be any coolant in the oil or in the cylinders. I think it may be going through the turbo, as odd as that sounds and if it is possible.

i dont know if the turbo would be it, if that would be i think oil would be lost as well. is you passenger floor wet? that could be where coolant leaks. as for a porus block i have heard some claims of that. i seafoamed my car and it had no issues afterwards. if you want to make shure its not the turbo take the lower part of the charge pipes off and see if any comes out i guess
