My inability to control it properly, especially in the rain. Such is the curse of the who just started driving RWD, and stick shift, with the rx7 he bought less than a year ago.

I suppose the WORST thing, though, is being able to drive a car with a totally blown engine (shot apex seal) perfectly well. It had other problems, but when I first bought her, she was a BITCH to get started, to get in gear, and other things. Then, when I got her moving, she would buck in first and second gears.

 

haha. yeah. I know exactly what you mean. Pop up the headlights at speed and it showers white flakes. Thats why my white car is soon to be black.

hehe

Worst part about my 7 is that its gutted.. no doors, no interior, no paint, no steering column, no dash, no wires, nothing.. bare chassis...... the only saving grace is that it still rolls.

 

...I hate having to pull over on I-90 to pull off the dangling rusted remains of half the exhaust shield and needing to borrow wrenches from a stranger to do so.

But most of all, I hate the fact that it is not mine. It is the father's. Though I do have it 400 miles away from home at college

 

My car's biggest problem is it's stupid owner.

Ten months and 8,000 miles later and I'm still coming to grips with the engine's characteristics.
I hope to get it down before the motor craps out.

 

i've owned nine 7's now and none of them have ever had a functional wiper switch on all speeds

 

lol, I guess I lucked out. sorry about that

 

I hate how my FC is a magnet for stupid MF's in SUV's.
I didn't buy an FB back in the day because they jwere just a bit too small in terms of big truck visibility. Then the FC came along and was just the right size. Then the damn SUV craze hit. I come out from work and there's a nasty scratch going from the front bumper up to the hood. Damn SUV driver tried to park in front of me and scratched my hood with his/her exhaust tip. Come out from work and the driver side nose is crushed. Another SUV. Airing up at th gas station and turn just in time to see an SUV backing into me about to pin me against my door. Jump out of the way, he backs into my driver door and takes off.
I also hate how every numb nut in the world wants to race when they pull up on me (Although I do enjoy crushing their sad little egos without even getting past 2nd gear).
Oh and the super brittle vents on top of the dash.

 

I got beat by a Chrysler 300 last night, but I don't know which monstruous V8 it was that did it, and I didn't lose by much from a stop to ~45mph, so I guess it's not THAT bad...

"Oh and the super brittle vents on top of the dash."
lol, mine don't even exist right now...

 

preach on brotha!

 

I have to add one thing to my list...

It started stumbling at 3800 again today. Bleh.

 

The crappy automatics!!! I can run to the other side of the intersection on foot faster than my car can. It slips and free revs between gears. I'm actually disappointed that my automatic trans won't blow up or do something cool. It's been crap for the past 30K miles and it keeps going. WTH!!!

-broken diff mounts or other loose things that make it go go clunk in the night
-stuck aux ports
-broken door handles
-one wheel wonder peels.... on gravel (worn out LSD)
-fading paint
-fading carpet color
-rusting outside door window trim

I'm kinda bothered that mine has been so reliable j/k. Only needed an alternator and starter in the past 8 years. Aren't these motors supposed to suck and blow up all the time.

 

Keeps randomly cutting out for no reason it seems, i think its the fuel pump relay.

That and it leaks oil like crazy and needs a buffing, and a couple of rust spots, and has vacuum leaks. Ahh ****, well, its really in good condition for the most part. Oh and the leaking brake master cylinder.

 

Does any one know how to fix the center spring with out taking down the tranny on a S4 13bt.

 

I have a white s5.....

*deep breath*

1. the paint is peeling off the drivers' side (what's the deal with that anyway? why ONLY the driver's side?)

2. some ******* bent my antenna when my 7 was at a park n ride

3. the dash console thingie with all the switches and dimmers is loose and looks like it can easily be ripped off

4. passenger side door unlocks with a key, but wont lock with a key

5. I have to give the moon roof a little nudge to help it open..but it closes just fine

6. the stock cd player blows. it skips over every damn bump and wont play half of my cds, scratched or not. I only keep it cuz it looks clean with the car

7. I'm afraid to drive faster than 55 on the freeway in the rain because my car has fishtail tourettes

 

this has to be the worst thread i ever started haha. but i think i found a solution for the cup holders... seen it in another car at a meet recently..

 

Rust Rust Rust I hate it!

 

Fortunately I've had no real issues with my car. In the 5 years I've owned it I've only had to replace an alternator and a water pump. My only real complaint with my car is that its N/A and gutless. But problem is almost fixed. TII drivetrain installed and a TII engine sitting in my shed.

 

On my last fc the drivers side door lock was broke and the passenger side handle so if you wanted to lock it, your *** was crawling through the hatch to unlock the doors =/

My new fc is pretty stellar cept its my first S5 and the damn seat belt thing almost take your head off if you're in the way

 

my stupid heater hose started leaking today!!! the one below the oil filter!! F'N HATE THAT HOSE!!!!

 

I hate how the card hadnt been waxed before I got it. It's pretty bad when it takes 800grit to get the oxidation off. Old, red, neglected paint looks like ***.

 

^^one word: KIT

that stuff worked MIRACLES for me!

 

Diff mount design sucks ballz.


<-- Drives home tonight with a thud..

 

Sunroof leaks (drains are plugged up)
Front mount on rear diff is clunking
Wears tires very quickly (fronts wear on the sides, while rears just go bald.)
8.0 seconds 0-60 is slow
I have a new sunroof, diff mount and turbo II and no time to work on it.

 

1990 GTU

lazy eye headlights from gay PO
random overheating
semi-cheesy dash
sloppy shifter
cant roll drivers side window up or down

 

Paint blows, esp on the hood. (black 88 GXL). Bushings are mostly shot too.
