if your car is down right now, why?
 

For those of you whose car is sick right now, what broke and what is it that your fixing or waiting on? And your future plans with your situation. I was just wondering how many people right now have a sick car and what their story it.

My car is down due to a blown motor....just waiting on a friend to see if he wants to buy it...my other friends is down due to moding the hell out of it...top secret info...

Hmm..

Because I had 15K to blow and I figured there's no better place to blow it than in my FD... :D

See sig

Mine is down, due to snow. I plan to fix this problem by moving south once I get out of college.

LOL! :D

Winter, and O-ring failure.:cool:

Well last night the car wouldnt start so im pretty sure shes flooded :( and something it wrong with my coolant system..

It could be much worse. Flooding is not nearly as big a problem as people make it out to be. Inconvenient? Yes. End of the world? No.

My clutch has gone since the 24 of last month ! :(

just received it today so should get it fitted by next week ! bought a ACT S/S ! :)

SNOW

i need to go to college in california as soon as i can

I lost a fight with a curb. Blew out a bit of the driver's side suspension-lower arm, shock, toe link, two rims, etc., etc., etc. I just might get her back today though. (Fingers are securely crossed!)

mine is fucked. i think it's flooded and the battery is dead. how do you unflood a car. too lazy to search right now:)

blown motor due to someone trying to steal it, woke up to a busted pass window busted column and all the dash lights on.

I bought mine w/ an engine fire.... but it'll be running soon

Dam 22inches of snow.

blew motor. not sure what killed it yet think its was a water seal . getting the motor ripped apart as we speak.

no tires lol!

Problem: terrible hydraulic problem in tranny...coolant leak...just fixed a flooded engine...and shitty u-joints.

Plans: getting a new tranny and beefing it up, new water pump and hoses, and the carbon-fiber driveshaft from Rotary Performance.

upper radiator hose sprung a leak, waiting for one from the dealer..

Well it snowed so I figured this would be the best time to put in the new clutch, DP, EBC, UDPs, and other misc. :cool:

Parked for the winter anyway, so it's a good time to put in a new clutch.

blew a o-ring in october, so now (in the garage) bnr stage II, 1300cc injectors, power fc, v-mount on the way as well as engine. should be all done by may/june, after school is out

3 options
1) Hold gas pedal on the floor for a few seconds, then crank engine while still holding pedal.

2) Pull fuel pump relay, remove bottom two spark plugs, crank the engine a few times. Put ATF in spark plug holes, reinstall plugs, put pump relay back in, start engine.

3) Push start it. (my favorite, for obvious reasons.)

My car is down because of t78 install!

vaccum too high at normal temp - i'd think it's Rubber gasket between Intake elbow and tbody - it's not in one piece, hahahat or i must had a leaky vaccum hose when i opened er Imanifold.

Car is jacked up in the driveway, engine is in the garage, and new exhaust, flywheel, seals, hoses, etc taking over my bedroom

u joint, leaking oil pan, vacume leak.....and im working on a way to pay it :p:

intercooler installation. . . but its oh, so close to completion!!!! https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...hreadid=266387

Blown coolent seal I think. Sig will tell what I am going to do.

bad turbos.. just ordered a set from Japan.. should be here in 10 days.

Well, me too - winter. Lets see, it's -30 C outside, snowing like crazy. When I moved here they said "the good thing about real cold weather is it doesn't snow when it's that cold". I want my money back! ;)

I was car-jacked for my FD over a year ago by some dope-fiend. To make a long story short...
As he was taking off(or trying to) I could hear him grinding the gears and redlineing it. She was found a day later in the middle of the intersection, doors and trunk wide open. Interior gutted (for the system), engine blown and gears striped. Now I'm about 2-3 months away from getting her back.
Considering that she was nearly stock, except for an F-Con and other minor things. Oh, she back alright. Back with a VENGANCE... T-70.

Currently disassembled for painting and body kit. Motor also not tip-top, needs work on massive oil leaks. Filler pipe to gas tank being fabricated and welded to Sparco aluminum gas cap.
