mine needs something...cuz it smells like syrup and it drinks coolant and makes me smell like ive been sprayed with gasoline

 

Passenger Door, Horn , Non-moving Sunroof, Spoiler Holes

 

hmmm...lets see
omp lines snapped in 1/2
large amounts of dents and dings
clogged cat.
seats torn
wiper switch only works in slow position and i have to manually stop it in its home postion
winshield cracked
pass. side exhaust tip bent and melted part of the rear bumper
oil in the throttle bodie
alot of vaccum lines snapped and broken
antenna broken off
altenator phucked
cracked radiator
hose from the block to the heater core blew
and probably quite a bit of more problems that i havent found yet. and all these are problems are from when i got the car. i havent even had it tagged yet

 

Lets see just got a GXL ....... Horn, Brake Lights, Sun Roof Wont move, Idling at 1k-1.5k rpm ? , pilot and throwout bearing need to be replaced.... My oil inlet line is leaking. Small dents aside on my doors. Leaking Exhaust.

 

Clutch is going on mine

 

i always say its not broke unlsess it keeps the car from starting and going. otherwise it just needs a little lovin' if you know what i mean

 

****....good luck with that,you'll need it. I'm in the same boat as you.

 

i have problem with the feul getting into the engine. when i go to floor it...it feels like the feul is spurting in and then at 5k it gets nothing. wont run under load and the brakes are sticking. getting new engine and trans for it. hope that will work. and i spend more time right now working on it than driving it but its my first car...and i still ove it.

 

Brake Master Cylinder (Just fixed that this last weekend)
Brake Calipers (I suspect that they are rusted and need to be rebuilt or replaced, car from a stop feels sluggish and pushing it in neutral is damn near impossible)
Vacuum Hoses have cracked and popped off.
Small Radiator Leak
Right engine mount is gone
Left Engine Mount is cracked
Downpipe has a leak
Main Cat is leaking
Passenger Muffler is leaking
Clock is possessed
Windows are slow to roll up
Sunroof sticks for a second
Starts and holds idle a few minutes before dying.
Idle itself when warm idles at around 1300 that isn't good.
RPMS jumps on occasion, causing the car to lurch forward quickly. This happens usually only happens at slow speeds.
Slight power hesitation at 2000 rpms in 2nd gear, I'm told this is related to the exhaust issue.
Passenger tail light s4 plastic molding is cracked.
Driver side rear bumper has some paint missing

stopping now before I start depressing myself.

 

i just noticed a slight vibration in my car, seams to be when i accelerate. i took off the drive shaft and it was fine, u joints all good and no play was found when i was under the car. i also got a weird noise like a clicking when the car is very cold and i move the steering wheel. what you guys think it is???

 

Rear end whines and rattles when at cruising speed
Pulsing idle
Roof leaks and wets my left foot (conv)
Exhaust is rusting away/ therefore stinks in car
Engine will not idle with AC on
Annoying squeeks
Auto tranny slips in and out of 2nd

All in all not bad for a daily driver with 150k

 

whoa, I guess I have it nice. From what I can tell:

small dents all along both sides of the body...parking lot dings, really
engine/tranny mounts worn to hell, need replacing
shifter bushings worn and gone, need replacing

That's about it *knock on wood*

One right before the other.

Dunno... I thought it was funny?

Clogged injectors, master cylinder and clutch, only thing left to fix is injectors

 

Transmission on its way out
Chipped pass. side air vent
Cracked dash(how much does a fix cost?)
old plugs/wires (I change them thursday)
cracked vaccum lines (changing thursday, could it be robbing power?)
rear coilovers blew seals, currently being rebuilt by JIC under warranty.

Other than that, it's fine.

 

Issues so far with mine.

Brakes are less than stellar, I have new rotors, stainless lines and I'm still looking for some decently priced pads that are within my performance needs.

• Brakes are less than stellar, I have new rotors, stainless lines and I'm still looking for some decently priced pads that are within my performance needs.
• Battery issues. Replaced Battery with Optima Red Top and new battery terminals, no battery issues now.
• Blown shocks.
• Cosmetic, springs are corroded pretty badly, more ugly than non-functional, but might as well replace them.
• Clutch had a spring ripped out... car is parked waiting on an ACT.
• Power steering works intermittantly
• Engine isn't that smooth yet, but still powerful.
• Sunroof needs assistance when opening it.
• Interior trim pieces breaking on a regular basis.
• Odometer stopped working and clicks after the clutch problem.

Overall I'm very happy with the car tho. The chassis is very solid and felt good handling until I blew the shocks. Most of these are wear items, and for a TII with original engine and clutch and 145K miles, I'm thinking that all of these are acceptable given the age of the car and the components.

I'd hoped that I'd not have to dump so much money into her immediately, but the grin I get driving her is more than enough for me to overlook this stuff.

 

The only problem I have with my RX7 is that I don't have it yet...... I want it... but it just ain't here. Sigh, oh to drive the rotary, to hear it's engine spin. I yearn for it, I live for it. I must have it. :-)

 

mine is in pieces ready for a shell.......turbo vert is my goal.

 

an update on my car's status, and I get to know her better

Shifter bushings have been replaced...it's a whole new world.

One engine mount has been replaced, I will be replacing the other Monday evening.

Suspension feels soft, a friend will be giving me his KYB/AGX with ST springs...for free

Plan on getting the suspension bushing set soon, as I'm occasionally hearing some clunking on hard left turns.

 

Various dents and dings blown motor (read my thread) interior stipped Still would rather drive it over my back up 84 Z28 Camaro its like a rock on logs compared to ride on rails feeling you get from zippin around a 90 deg curve hitting over 1g and not hearing the tires peep

 

power steering leaks
speedometer doesn't work
tranny needs service
body needs ajustment(paint job & body alignment)
rear wiper disconnected....

that's it so far nock on wood

 

2 dents from hit and runs, needs the carpet cleaned. Both which I plan to fix in the next few days!

 

Need paint job
E-brake light goes on and off
caliper leaked and got brake fluid on rim.
vert top ripped and leaks
headrest speakers dont work
Seats ripped to ****...

 

Ok now she shoots raw oil out of the tailpipes and her sunroof sticks. Time for a new engine...

 

That totally blows..
