I can't love it enough :P

the huge gouge in the driver's side put there by a previous owner and it floods terribly. I'm working on both issues.

 

My sticky, barely working sunroof. My car still makes me smile everyday when I drive it though.

 

I am going to have to say..... My damn Chassis Flex. Every damn time I take off from a stop, mid-section sqweeks and groans like a ****. That and my damn restricted exhaust.

 

The fact that it's sitting in the backyard covered by a tarp with a seized, rebuilt engine will about 22,000 miles on it

 

Sunroof rust and blinker switch handle that is always loose.

 

Rear quarter rust, right window sticking on something and slowing half way up, and teh S4 body.

 

i hate how my stock car alarm still works. in the middle of a windy night. it sets off the car alarm

 

^^^ Hahaha. You must have the ONLY one still working!!!!

 

ProjectKyo
Quyet! lol!

The only problem I have with my car is that it takes tooo dang much money!

 

The fact that it is always playing mind games with me.

 

'86 GXL
Door handles
******* RETARDED TARGA ROOF
A/C not working
P/S is leaking
Brake booster stoppped working
needs new paint
seats are un cleanable GSL-Se seats
speedo cable is seeping oil

'88 Arctic Silver TII
never heard it run while i've owned it
door handle
paint
tint needed
a/c and P/s have to be re-installed
no clue on engine life
pile of parts waiting to go in
need to replace damaged passenger door
BAC mounts are stripped >_>
interior needs to be cleaned b/c even siting the windows are getting dirty from the inside somehow . . . .

don't ask about the 88 GXL . . .

 

the sticky sun roof, the bad pass door and fender, the fact that it is not turbo yet, the tires are to small, the seats sit to high yet (working on that), the dumbass behind the wheel... (oh damn thats me) lol


Other then that I cant get enough.. I love driving her.

 

ha, ive owned a 7 for almost a year now and have close if not over 10K into it and i never driven it more than 1/4 of a mile!!

and i love every second of it!

 

Let's see.
88 T2
Needs new doors (who the hell puts a 1/2" layer of bondo on doors?)
Sticky Sunroof
Sticky Driverside Window (it stuck half way when me and my dad were trying to go into a auto-car wash, lesson learned, wash by hand)
Sloppy Shifter (Got shifter bushings, hoping it'll fix it)
Leaking Brake Master Cylinder (Got a new one)
Pile of parts, but no time, too cold, and zero space to work on the car.

Last but not least,
ME! Not having my license.

 

I hate how I love her so much that it makes me poor....sort of...


Spec.

 

I hate how fricken confusing the 13B is... I've been reading all I can and I still don't understand a lot about it.

 

there is videos everywhere about the combustion process and how it makes it power... even here on the forum... everyone can poor their heart out about our cars about this and that... but you still push through to keep it going. good stuff

 

my TPS coming unhooked during a highway pull

 

10AE #1: that it doesn't work
10AE #2: that bone stock, these cars are ******* sloooooooooowwww. And that the paint is juuuuuust starting to peel.

 

Mine has been so mechanically solid since rebuilding everything and paying attention to every detail. No leaks, quirks or anything.

Now i just hate that i cant dial more than about 2.25 deg of neg camber in the front even with the coilovers. Yay for the archaic front suspension.

That and the brakes leave something to be desired. They arent quite enough for good solid road course braking.

 

With the single-pot brakes, old lines, and street pads, sure; but with four-pots, new lines, and high-performance pads? I can't imagine they'd be all that bad unless you've got massive tires.

 

pouring money into her replacing almost everything...get new rb exhaust then not even through the tank of gas and pop goes front seal...damn s4 boost creep

 

944 turbo/911 turbo brakes are a cheap and HUGE upgrade. All you need to do is redrill the rotors, get a proportioning valve to adjust the proportining, etc.

The rotors are small enough that 16" wheels still fit, but are nearly 1.5" thick and have a ton of thermal mass and cooling abillity.



I've owned 6 TII's so far and the stock alarm has worked in 5 of them, the 6th had an aftermarket alarm and the stock one was disabled.

 

i hate that everytime i push down the pedal my wallet gets lighter

 

My Current Setup:
Newer 4-pot calipers.
Braided Stainless steel lines. (BTW these have NEVER been a problem, i love them)
ATE blue fluid. (or RBF600)
New MC.
New front hardlines.
Newer rear calipers.
Full cooling duct setup.
Sloted Cryo treated brembo rotors all around.
Titanium shims in the front.
Carbotech XP-10 pads in front
Carbotech Panther Plus pads in back.

I run 225/50-16 RA1s on the track.

This setup was decent for a while but overheated sometimes. The front pads an rotors are still relatively small for a 2850lb car, and when i started going really hard i could overheat them. I never have a problem with the rears, but i can destroy front pads pretty quickly.

I am going to first try switching to a high quality two piece rotor in the front, with a good fin profile for better vented airflow through the inside of the rotor. Plus i am not going to run carbotech pads again. I was not impressed with how they handle overheating. And if you dont bed them in JUST right they are junk from that point forward. I have heard great things about cobalt blue and hawk HT-10s. I am going to try those.
