My car sucks!!!! Every time I fix something 3 other things break. When I fix them 5 things break. I have so many bangs, pops, and noises. I dont even know what do do next. I think it might be time to retire the car to the junk yard!! O.K. for example.....last night when I was going to school, I'm driving along with my parking lights on(all most dark)and desited to turn on my light and when I did the light hood comes flying off and almost causes an accident. I'm sad that I might have to put it down. It's just no reliablity.....(just really frustrated) Any one else feel the same way?

 

Well sorry to hear, my FD is a daily driver hasnt let me down *yet* aside from the currently being replaced (under warrenty) radiator. But if you are going to retire it, Ill be more then happy to strip it down and put thoes parts to a *ahem* good use

 

sell it.

 

ya....sell it
ill buy your interior ....heheh

 

Your car dosent suck, its a process of elimination find one or two problems and fix them. you have to be patient especialy with this car. I know i have had two, the first one, when i first got it was a pain in the ***, the boost would only read 8-5-5, but in time we, me and a friend, fixed it, just be patient. Its a great car once you get rid of all the bugs. Oh yeah has everyone had the flying headlight cover problem, i did, quick solution, do what i did, save up and get the RE headlight conversion, looks better anyway. my second car is highly modded and i havent had a problem yet

 

Ive tryed to sell it before and nobdy was interested. you all have mods done list. well heres my mods to-do list.

1.New OEM or aftermarket front and rear callipers,diskes,pads and SS lines
2.Need to install M2 trailing arms and toe links.
3.need all other "aftermarkets stuff"...boost gauge...etc
4.New rear OEM hatch (Rust around rear window)
5.new Hood and head lamp hoods(broken) Real cold air intake LOL
6.Turbos or turbo.....can't decide
7.Radiator....did AST remove and broke bottom nipple.
8.Need tranny rebuild.....and all bushings
9.Wheels and tires..the rims leak air( have aftermarket wheels need to be rebuilt)
10.Panit job

well thats a good start...

 

crash it and get the insurance money

 

bring it to www.pettitracing.com and have it checked out

 

Yeah, what vosko said, that sounds like the most logical answer. Why the hell would you want to crash a great car. evan if there are problems they can be fixed.

 

if we all whined at the same time...about our problems with our seven there would be a post that could stretch from here to the moon

when you are on your third engine...fourth set of turbos...third tranny...third clutch...fourth set of injectors.... haha...LOL...hahah...woo hoo..woo hoo...hooo...hooo....you shall hear me hooting like daffy duck...woo hoo..hoo hooo..wooo hoo hoo ho hooo....!!!! MY car has driven me nuts!! haha

I did meet someone with worse luck...peter from XS engineering had just blown his fourth motor.

the above sentence should make your issues that much smaller.

jason

we all chase our gremlins...but as gremlins..they never get caught!...just move somewhere else...damn gremlins!!


my solution is to park it for the next few months and tear the entire thing down and fix everything....and not driving it til its done.

 

What's a panit job????

I wish you well.......I've been through some of your frustration, but after 66,000 miles (bought it @ 49k, now has 115k), I am very pleased with my Rex!

 

Strip everything out of it and turn it into and SCCA ITE race car tub. Moo Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!

 

Actually, I'd be interested in the car.. What's the condition of the rest of it (other than what you listed), such as the motor, tranny, suspension, etc.

I'm actually looking to build a race car, so I don't mind most of the things wrong with it.

You can email me (racerpoet@hotmail.com, joseph.a.cherry@exxonmobil.com) for my phone number, glad to talk it out with you.

I need to know the following when you call though:
VIN
Mileage (on chassis)
Motor Condition (and mileage)
R1/R2/Touring/Base?
Condition of everything else.

If the price were right, I could pick it up from you, or arrange to have it delivered.
