IM $&#@ing done with these.

Im done with these god damn cars they **** me off so much.So after my 2months of my hard work fixing my car it decides to catch on fire for me as im coming up to a stop light.So the car is a total loss and all.Spider said it was caused by a fuseable link going bad which ignighted the brake flud and such.The fire didnt even get put out by the fire deparment the raidiator blowing up put out the fire.

Dang that sucks. Sometimes these cars really **** me off. And most of the time they really sucks as daily drivers. Thats why I drive a 323 every day.

I have had a lot of these cars, and everyone has its owen problems. But you must keep up the fight!!!! go get another one and it will work out for you. some of these cars are doomed from the start, but it does get better in time.

do the chicken dance

Anyone who's not chicken, stand in a circle facing each other.
When the music starts, hold your hands out in front of you and open and close them like a chicken beak four times.
Put your thumbs in your armpits and flap your wings four times.
Place your arms and hands like the tail feathers of a chicken and wiggle down to the floor four times.
Clap four times.
Repeat steps 1-5 four times.
After the fourth time take the hands of the people on either side of you and everyone move in a circle.
When you get dizzy, switch directions.
Repeat until the end of the music or until you fall on the floor.


From: partly mazda's wife

Seriously though,,, sorry about your car. Save your motor and find another body to put it in,,, I'm sure you will get alot of help here on the forum.. You might want to consider attending our engine class next week. Chin Up

it's a money pit, but no matter what type of car you have it'll do this to you. It's called farfhenugen disorder. "the joy of driving" every time it gets closer to done something else happens. Trust me I've owned 4 or 5 tpes of cars!

Well... How much are you getting out of it as a "total loss". If it is anything decent keep you eye out for another 7 if you dare. If not at least make sure, if anything, the next vehicle you get is rear wheel drive. Sorry to hear about that. I have been fairly fortunate with my 7 with the exception of the clutch going out the day before Apple Blossom (knock on wood).

I bet they were all stock though. No matter what car you modify you're going to have problems.

I can understand Elysians pain....
Yes, with these cars you gotta take the bad with the good. Yep Adrian you start modding them and the more you mod them the more problems you run into. I shoulda quit a long time ago, but Im way to addicted to them to stop now..

It's when they are running right that makes it all worth the troubles.

Don't quit mabii someone will help you get back on your feet with your car. Wish you lived over here on this side, we would help you out.

life has its ups and downs. spend your next paycheck on what you think you deserve and sit back and wait for awhile. rx7's dont have to be a priority there are there for mere pleasure. save up and find a good deal something that you feel will be entirely worth it in the end.
