My RX-7 is about to take a long vacation.

Driving down the road today and the friggin starter fell right out of the block. The lower bolt had vibrated out, and the upper bolt had stripped. It was also missing three bolts in the transmission. The alternator is dead for no reason as it was just rebuilt. The steering just keeps getting worse. The tranny is now vibrating like crazy, the u-joints are shot. Its going to take a long vacation now until I have the time and money to fix it up right. I just can't deal with it at the current moment. Oh I forgot to mention that the gas is soo rich that it leaks past the oil seals and makes the oil thin within a week of changing it.

Tough luck man. I know Ive got problems with my 7, but at least I can drive mine while I look for a fawkin job so I can fix her. I need new wheel bearings all around, and I need at least one brake caliper rebuilt cause its leaking. I also need new front struts at least because theyre beyond shot. I figure Ill just wait till I can afford it and just redo the entire brake and suspension systems, but until then, shes gonna be a little mad at me, lol.
