Whoa, thread resurrection. Fortunately (unfortunately?) this topic is always relevant .

Lets see, the biggest problem I have at the moment is all the rust on the body. Currently being kind of repaired with bondo and fibergalss, just to get it looking decent until I can afford a cleaner shell (or whole car, who knows.)

Fuel pump screws drilled out and into gas tank. I asked my friend to pull out my old fuel pump while I went and bought a new one, but they were really rusted and he drilled through them into the tank.

Engine electrical problems, causing high idle and low power. I replaced the resistors on the injectors, had the injectors cleaned, replaced all manifold gaskets and vacuum lines but haven't been able to see if it fixed it yet (see #2)

Normal interior problems (cracked plastic, dirty carpet, etc), clock doesn't work

Parents who refuse to accept the fact that the car is a piece of **** (body wise)

 

everything on my S5 NA Vert works fine ac is cold emisions are perfect and interior is clean... MY T2 ON THE OTHER HAND... hahahaha thats a ******* mess

 

no ignition. damn microtech.

 

I keep blowing up na transmissions.

 

Bad turbo

 

why isnt there an all of the above option?

 

Basically everything as well I think my current engine is about to give up on me *knocks on wood*

 

busted exhaust insert/diffuser, low comp.

 

hahaha, this ones easy for me. BLOWN MOTOR

 

There's absolutely nothing wrong with mine.. zero, nada zilch! Well, I wouldn't say wrong.. just hidden features.. (I don't want to **** her off and have her flood out on me..or come up with some other feature I wasn't aware of)

It's like your wife or girlfriend asking you "does this outfit make me look fat??"

 

wow... hope you didn't burn your lips...

 

clutch for me, got an exeddy clutch cover a nippon disc and koyo release bearing for £160 think thats about $320?
I thought that was quite a good price. A friend of a friend is going to fit it for £70 or $140.
GOT QUOTED £500-$1000 FOR GARAGE TO SUPPLY AND FIT CLUTCH

 

Things I've fixed:
Bad Tps,Bad Alternatorx2, batteryx2(electrical problems fried the battery), spark plug wires, spark plugs, all intercooler tubing(stock TMIC), pre-rewired gas pump, grounding electrical issues, starting issues(that costed me $300) for them to look at guess at what they thought the problem was), brakes, MAF,

Still wrong:
still spurts when boosting(only hitting 6psi), battery drains randomly ...sometimes after parking for as little as 1 min(dont know why), water temp fuel level dummy lights interior lights cruise control speedometer DONT WORK!!, sunroof works with a lot of help, exhaust leak that i swear stems from the wastegate, and brights make all the electronic things dim .

how long I've had this 7???

7 MONTHS!

I keep trying to convince other people(and probably myself) shes great and worth every bit or elbow grease..

 

My na clutch is jfk. Need 50 mm rear spacers and to finish custom widebody moulds for the rear. getting **** miles per gallon with a throttle cable tbi or idle set screw fuckup on my part. is better than it was though with t2 afm.

Hmmm... Where do I start? Honestly, my car is pissing me off so much I want to sell it but its not as bad as most people.

- Exhaust leak, somewhere around the front of the car. RB exhaust installed recently, so it has to be a cracked exhaust manifold.

- After the car warms up, I go for a drive, come to a stop light and the engine starts to randomly fluctuate. At this point after listening to the exhaust leak I get so pissed off at my car that I start reving at a stop light for no reason, because I get so fed up. Thats not all for idle problems. After I park the car from a drive and come back after say an hour the car won't idle, I have to keep my foot on the gas. I'm pretty sure this whole paragraph could be eliminated by replacing the water thermo pellet.

- Randomly some things start to **** out, such as switching the rear wiper on and it doesn't work, sometimes the passenger window won't go down.
