i hate all the squeaks and rattles from the interior. i wish the car felt more solid or substantial.

 

It spends more time being worked on than driven....

 

I hate that too, every pothole and bump makes the interior sound like its about to fall off.

 

i love everything about my 7. Even if shes being a bitch i still love her. ^_^

 

i got my 90 gtu shell for 250 from a friend of a friend and im getting a blown engine with a good tranny for 50 bucks


so i cant complain that it has cost me too much im still under 1 k :P

 

i hate most of the electrical system if not all of it.

 

id have to say i only hate all the things that come with old age and improper maintenance from previous owners (bad sunroof, fragile interior, poorly maintained engine creaky interior and exhaust leaks). other than that the bad gas mileage.

still...i love my seven even after all that terrible **** haha

 

Yes, everyone of those is true.

But one thing I hate/dislike is when someone tells me I have a nice probe... (>_<) It hurts. :'( I don't my fc compared to a probe...

I don't like the automatic seat belts either, they've broken on me plenty of times...

Ohh, another this I dislike is no gaskets at any auto part stores around me, only the dealership has them. $48 for n/a intake manifold gaskets and guess what... $6 for the Tii intake manifold gasket.. lol ironic.. damn n/a's!!

 

i dislike the rear suspension design, the rear subframe , the dtss etc.. you have to lower the subframe to remove teh diff etc.. Wish they would have went with a IRS setup instead.

 

^^^^its almost worth swapping in a t2 engine just for the savings on gaskets.

I hate how theres a fad to rice out fc's now a days, and those people claim their car isn't rice.

95% of fc body kits are cheap looking, and plain ole rice

 

I think that if installed correctly body kits (aside from the demon one) dont look like rice. If there is more gaps than british teeth than i kind of agree........ that some of the installations are rice. Not the kits themselves.

Your fc looks good for example but most fc's look crap.

I can name tons of members that have shitty looking fc's, I'd take a **** on their hood and call it a day but I'm not going to name who nor post pics.

those with good looking fc's with bodykits know who they are, and those who don't, they need to come outta the closet

 

i hate it when you replace the old stereo with a new one your antenna stops working and i also hate how easy all the interior parts break like the vents

 

I have to agree with this one. And mine isnt running at the moment but i still love her

 

I hate how many of the so-called problems with the FC are simply caused by misinformation, misinformed owners, or the fact that the newest FC is 16 years old.

Besides the cold solder joints in the CPU, logicon and the annoying failure of the headlight and wiper switches, the wiring is quite good. The fact that the car is 16+ years old has more to do with the "shitty" wiring then Mazda. Also I'd like to point out that many of the electrical parts that fail are NOT made by Mazda.

Damn skippy. I wish drifting would just die and that every 15 year old who buys an FC would stop wanting to imitate some old Anime cartoon (that I've never even seen) by "drifting" their car into a wall. And why is that nearly ever "drifter" has an FC which looks like absolute garbage? Oh yeah, the car is their "drift" car because they aren't willing to admit they bought a piece of junk because it was cheap.

It's 16+ years old. A new FC interior is wonderful and much higher quality then the SA/FB/FD interior.

Again, car is 16+ years old...

16+ year old car...

Uh, the FC does have IRS.

16+ year old car on the interior comment.

The power antenna is ground triggered, not + triggered like most. Add a relay.

 

i need some f'n real cupholders

 

i hate that giant flywheel nut torqued to like 325 ft/lbs. easy for a shop, horror for shadetree mechanics

i also hate the ridiculous location mazda selected for the clutch slave cylinder. only small asian children with small asian children hands can get to it easily.

besides that, the interior is ugly.

he means multilink.

240sx rear suspension is stupid easy to repair / modify / align compared to the FC.

 

I hate the fact that my clock turns on and makes me smile because it is actually working, then I hit a bump and it turns off
My interior is rather fragile. I pushed in my cigarette lighter and smoke started coming out of the dash, so I tried to get the center surround off in a hurry and broke it off, needless to say I unplugged the lighter and have been avoiding touching the plastic in my interior.

Other than that I love my car to death.

 

i hate that im young and the 7 is old. i really wish i was around for when the 2nd gen was new.

i hate that my interior rattles, but i guess thats what i guess for having coilovers.

i also hate that im sometimes seen as a dumb kid that bought a 7 to drift...im not. im more a fan of autox really. i cant stand street racing either.

 

Big breaker bar.

Ratcheting box wrenches.


Yeah, but it's also nowhere near as good.

 

i'm aware of the workarounds... lol. my complaint is the need for them in the first place.

breaker bar doesn't work so well with the car on jackstands working on the curb. doesn't give you much room to turn even if you get the tip of the bar out past the side of the car. if you can get it up high or on a lift, then its no problem. in contrast, flywheel on other FR cars is very easy to do... 5 or 6 bolts at 80 ft/lbs a piece. dont even need a breaker bar. but i guess the massive nut is necessitated b/c of the bolt on counterweight?

likewise slave cylinder is very easily placed on the side or more towards the bottom of the transmission. not sure why mazda put it up top. protecting it? maybe a more direct clutch feel?

 

FOR THE WIN

 

I hate the rust goblins that attack my baby's beautiful black hatch

 

I hate the fact that my car is 21 years old. I'm about halfway at replacing everything on the car, still got 50% left to go. It's gonna be a long journey.
