Yeah, I know... It's a joke anymore! Hell, by the time I DO get it back together it may be one of 10 left!!

5 years I've owned it.. 8 THOUSAND miles.. I think jimlab has me beat though..

 

i have owned mine 5 years and put 10K on it...

 

dayem fellas...I've put 7k on the motor I fired up 8 months ago.

 

we like tearing our cars apart and putting it back together... then repeating the process. what can we say?

 

this is my one and only complaint with the car

I always try to open it as little as possible so the water doesn't move.. never seems to work though, since I let go to grab whatever it is in the trunk, and it 'helpfully' opens by itself spilling water all over the place.

And perhaps the gas mileage.. but who buys a performance car for its gas mileage

 

1) bad 93 interior plastics
2) even worse 93 paint - my clearcoat is peeling off
3) the fact that parts are always on back order for months

 

Nothing is a bigger PIA than the interior plastic on my 93
My clearcoats peeling too but its a 12 year old car, it needs new paint anyways.

 

We suck!!

 

I wish I could say that!!

I think me and E just like breaking sockets, scraping knuckles, cussing, drinking, dropping trannies on our feet, driving 10 miles and starting over! Maybe not iin that order... LOL

I can't wait to get this POS back together. It'd be nice to put some REAL miles on it.. Hopefully I'll get the new motor from Gotham soon.

 

Me too, My car is apart right now, and I've torn my harness apart too...moding will never stop, I'm convinced of that.

 

does not having one count?

 

1. My a/c sucks and will not get past "cool".

 

I did the same to my harness.. Only to reallize I really just need a new one. Goddamn 700 bucks too.....

Oh, here's something I hate: Drivetrain heat in the cabin. I don't even need the heater in the winter..

 

For a car that was in the UK market to compete agains the 911 and with a price tag of £45,000 UK pounds, that equates to about $80,000 USD, the dash board is the cheapest most embarssing peice of crap i have ever seen in my life, a lada's dash looks more expensive.
And
i dont know how many of you have had to atempt to replace the front speakers?, but bugger me, I had to fabricate a new speaker holder to ger the to fit.
oh, and to replace the glove box in the uk, by a mazda dealer will set you back a modest £319.16 in VAT and they will happily charge you another £50.00 to fit it, thats about $600 for the glove box and $90 for the fitting. " Robbing little bastards"

Other than that, f*@cking love the car

 

you paid 80k for an FD... please tell me thats supposted to be 8k
