What are some of the problems you've had with your 7?

How long have you owned it and how much have you put into it on repairs. If you've modded it, has that directly led to any needed repairs? What problems prevented you from driving it and how long was it usually in shop?

Personally I had my car for two weeks. It had 95k on it and seemed to be in good shape. When I bought it, it already had the Pettit Intake, Pettit DP, Greddy SP, ACT street/strip clutch and flywheel, and a short shifter. Anyway I opened her up one time and the next day when I went to start her she wouldn't idle steady at all and then die. I changed plugs, wires, did the hose job, and checked coolant hoses, AST, and a few other things. Regardless motor is being rebuilt now. It's been in the shop for 3 weeks with another 2-3 to go with all the stuff that's being done to it.

I'm going to lock this thread for several reasons.

1. The whole forum is filled with problems, which is why it exists. Just read the threads.

2. If you read about "reliability mods", then you know the answer to one of your questions.

3. I'm not going on any further. Do some searching and research. If you are scared to buy the car because something might break, don't get one because something will eventually break......
