son of bitch!
 
okay, I'm picking up my roomate's gf after work to meet up somewhere that we all hang out at..its her first time in an FD...she doesnt realize that the passenger side handle is hurting...and as we're getting in it, she freaking rips the handle off...oh, this sucks ass.....do I need to find a new one or can I possibly fix it?

You charge her or take her to small claims court...you can't let her rip your car apart...damn I tell you these women in cars are like savages.

Ninjak 04-03-02 03:55 AM

I told you to remove that and jsut let it sit in your room! I typically dont have that in my car untill its show time.
Come by and maybe we can fix it...

i think theres a fix somewhere on robrobinette's site or one of the other how-to sites.

it seems like a lot of work just for something that will keep the handle-ripping bitches coming back for a rematch though.

You can fix that with "oateys" plumbers putty from the inside. Bummer man hollow handle= 1 hurt piece

rx7speed811 04-03-02 05:09 AM

plumbers putty only holds for so long though. i think on the fix-it site, they reccomend using jb weld and a long ass bolt somehow.

Try carpart.com
 
Hey.....I bought one on (actually 2 but sold the other already) carpart.com for about 35.00 bucks. You could find all kinds of parts there. I even bought a door panel (complete w/everything) for 150.00 which is still better than shelling out 375.00 for just that piece from Mazda. Good Luck:D

Did you do a ninja kick to your last door handle? :eek:

Actually, that happened to me twice (not the ninja kick, but someone pulling out the door handle). It was funny seeing their reaction when they pulled out the door handle. I simply put some electrical tape around it to sort of keep it on and forgot about it.

Edit: A new door handle is about $300. I think rob robinette's site has a how-to on how to fix the current one, but I'm not sure.

ttpowerd 04-03-02 09:55 AM

yeah he does but I have yet to try it yet...not enough time with gf, school, and work :(

door handle fix
 
The robinette fix is not that hard to do. I did it in an afternoon. Just do not be in a hurry removing the door panel, or you will damage the barbed fasteners. Use the JB weld and drill and install a bolt or long screw to reinforce the plastic pos handle. Let it dry completely before pulling on it.
Oh yeah- passengers must wear a straight jacket when in the car so they can't get their #@^&*! hands on anything. No food in car. No drinks in car. Keep your greasy fingers off the windows. If there is mud on your shoes, they get left at the side of the road. No pets, no gum, no sharp objects in pockets, no packages. On second thought- no passengers, unless they are female and completely naked. :D

:p: :bigthumb: Yeah it's hard as hell to get the juices out of the damn seats they need to make rubbers for the seats in the R1's to. Next to impossible to get the suace out of the damn things. Need some of that protein laundry detergent.

actually...this hot chick I know was in my bar a few nights ago with some other people, and I showed her my car since it was finally out of the shop. We are talking, and eventually get on the subject about arguing whether it is possible to have sex inside it, and finally, she replies with "well, if you ever want to find out, I'm willing to try." and she was completely serious...I love my car.

I fixed mine with the how to on Rob Robinette's site. Very easy, and it is better than new now!
