CGT's not so well after all

[Allan Jones <ampj@tiac.net>]

Hi all,
	Last time I wrote to you as a group I was practically in tears of joy
over the fact that my Coupe was operational again and I had a renewed
vigor towards maintaining it. Well how quickly things can change. Is it
common for most of you listers that when you fix one thing, you break
two? It is for me! I r'd/r'd the ignition switch module on my '86 Coupe
GT and when done putting all back together, I find out the door ajar/key
in ignition beeper relay sounds the beep(bee-arw  bee-arw bee-arw
bee-arw . . . .) whenever a door is open regardless of key being in or
out of the ignition. That is not what is supposed to happen, is it?
         That is not a major bummer, though. While going over everything
to get it roadworthy after completing the r/r, I decide to check if my
PIAA combination driving and fog lights are in working order since when
my car became disabled several weeks ago, both the driving lightbulbs
were working but only one of the ion crystal fogs were working.  Well, I
flick the toggle and pop! Both driving bulbs instantly crack the lenses
from top to bottom! *&#!@!* THAT is a MAJOR bummer! I had been reading
the A6 bulb upgrade thread and remember the author stating he had good
luck w/ PIAA representitives, but I deleted the posts. Could the author
of such posts please come forward(or a lister forward me his post(s)) to
discuss possibilities with me? Thank you IA.
         There *is more*, and this is where I NEED HELP. It seems that
after sitting idle for several weeks, my Coupe developed a major
grinding/rubbing in the front susp. or braking system and increased
frequency of pulsations w/ speed while causing great friction! Above 75
MPH I can barely proceed w/o major vibration in steering wheel, gas
pedal, AND overall chasis! I presently have several thoughts:

                1)Yokohama A-509's are very low on tread and could
possibly have slipped a belt or two?(very unlikely since it would not
result in the feeling of friction/also believe very low tread on any
tire could not cause the amount of noise I am encountering)
                1a)wheels are out of balance(I think they are but the
symptoms are far worse than an out of balance wheel or two.
		2)front caliper(s) is(are) frozen against warped rotor?(questionable -
rotor(s) is(are) definitely warped though)
                3)axle shaft(s) is(are) faulty and grinding?
                4)C.V. joint(s) is(are) failing?
                5)bearing(s)
		6)something WORSE! Uh OOHHH!!
		7)combination of any or all of the above(Ugh!)

I am going to N.T.W. to get a free estimate today and will post to the
list what they give as a diagnosis. If anyone on the list thinks he/she
can diagnose with more info, e-mail me and I will work with you. Talk to
you all later, hopefully with good news, relative to my situation!
				Pray for her.

p.s. After driving two totally different cars(a '95 Corsica and a '95
Eclipse) for several weeks while my Audi was sidelined, several
revelations came to me yesterday while driving my CGT, but that is a
post for later today.			C Ya!
