AIR PUMP BRAKET BREAKS ALOT TOO

PvillKnight7 11-05-02 07:40 PM

When I first got my 88SE I had to fix the....
clock
antenna
cracked rear speaker covers
center consol trim broke at top
window wiper switch
driver seat track stuck (wire broke underneath)
side window trim pieces (the bottom ones) missing!
dash air difuser grills broke
tsp dead
BAC valve dead...this was a PAIN to find...easy to fix
arm rest behind e-brake...the plactic retainer thing was cracked up.
....and thats about it!
Gotta love the 7

PvillKnight7 11-05-02 07:55 PM

oh yea...the door locks!
mine have to be locked with a key or you can but your finger nail in them and turn the open...this also means if i want to arm my alarm i have to open and close the hatch after i locked both doors with the key...its so annoying

PvillKnight7 11-05-02 07:57 PM

Can anyone else take their key out with the car running???

Bank account broken!
 
i agree rear appex should of been an option as its the #1 problem with these cars!(translates to empty bank account!)the question is has anyone not spit an appex? v8 sounds better everyday! with the exception of grannys price estimates for getting the job done,that company has single handedly crushed alot of peoples hopes/dreams as not all of us wanna dump an extra 5grand into a car we already have a ton of $ into,just to sit back and realize we now have a car worth maybe $2500-3500 if were lucky! hey love the cars just hate rotory! jim

Wow.. I don't have power windows in my 87 SE, but then again it's the cheapies person model.. at least my little didgital clock works along with the horn and nothing's cracked.. cept the surround around the dummy lights.. only real problem i have is that accursed fuel pump.. that's the only thing not working! and the add coolant sensor.. The fuel pmp is rather easy to get at.. if the screw heads don't STRIP OUT ON YA!! even after you use squirrel piss. although the driver's side seat does need to be replaced.. the side's a bit chewed up from normal wear .. Not bad for 150 bucks and 193K miles on it.. i guess..

Psychoblue23 12-11-02 12:27 AM

I really wish someone that makes CF products would make a line of series specific vents. A package of all of em. I'd buy it. Hell i'd be happy with a reasonably priced replacement for the window defrosters with the VIN.

Bridgeported 12-28-02 05:29 PM

1) power window/wiper switches
2) tiny triangle defrost vents at corners of dashes by windshield
3) logican
4) radio surround
5) elec. antenae

ps - 50 cent shooters rule

Recently purchased 86 for only $300. Shall we try what's NOT broken on it?!?!?! Off the top of my head
1. Clock
2. Dummy light surround
3. Driver's side visor
4. plastic piece on side of drivers seat by door
(makes it impossible to slide seat)

All I can say is...OH GOD!!! WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO?!?!?! AAAARRRGGHHHH!

Furious D 01-18-03 01:48 PM

Not sure if anyone mentioned this but, the plastic traiangles that go on the inside of the power side view mirrors.

86J 02-24-03 12:24 PM

I broke 2 driver side door handles and one passenger side.

and the shitty part was, i broke the driver side one and while the new driver side handle was getting sent to me, i broke the passenger one. So i had to get into my car throught the hatch. I ended up using a rope that it tied onto the inside handle.

now thats bad fawking luck!

86J 02-24-03 12:28 PM

and power windows, the passenger side switch went on me but they were not very hard to fix. the only problem was finding out which side broke because neither side would open the window if one was broke.

Miaka 04-11-03 01:19 PM

I haven't figured out everything that is broken on my car yet but Sunroof and all the plastic switches (ex: turn signal) which is really annoying but thank god for my daily driver. Someday my RX-7 will run everytime I start it. But my Radio works great. :p

Choey 04-11-03 01:53 PM
