I hate that no matter what- my dash vents always crack- some how, some way.


And the never ending truth behind the fact that our cars were designed after the 944...

The fact that it doesn't run is probably the worst. Other than that, no LSD and the paint on the hood is fading in blotches

lmao

Thats due to the sun man!

The worst part about my 7 is

automatic, cracked vents and mirror triangles, body damage, right rear brake light broken, right mirror broken, s5 belts broken.

thats the worst of it, otherwise its a very nice car.

the fact that there is so much that i wanna do to my seven but i don't have the time nor money to do it. and everyday i wake up and walk past it to get into my pos auto accord as a daily driver it saddens me that i can't come home with new parts for my seven.

I hate knowing that my car runs fine, but i dont have the money to go and get registration, and my title transfered cause when i bought the car it didn't run.
But other than that i take the chance sometimes when its dark and just give her a joy ride.

The fact that it has 2 rotors and not 3. : (
This too.

^ you have my sympathies good sir, i can't imagine paying Euro prices for gas.

My biggest problem (or fear rather) is rust. We spend so much time and money caring and keeping these cars in shape, only to have them rust out from under us.

Mine's 100% clean...so far, so i guess my next biggest problem is fuel related stuff.

you think thats a bad thing? I find it funny when I beat them (drag race, autocross, etc.)....I just hate when people ask if my car is a 944 when it is better then a 944.

I hate how my windows dont go down and I deleted the a/c....need to do something before summer haha.

Yeah, after replacing mine I was cleaning them with a Q-TIP and ended up braking one. Ridiculous.

If you ask me, about the 944 cues, in Mazda's defence; they were only "borrowing" and thus perfecting the timeless and best hatchback design ever. Out of the 914,944, 240-280Z, 240SX,300ZX, etc. I think mazda got it the best with the S4 and S5 RX-7.

MY WIRING HARNESS OMG MY WIRING HARNESS!!!!!!

Whoever owned this car before me was some kind of rapist that used a soldering iron instead of a dick...
been through a new battery, new alt, new ignition, new starter, and I finally gave up and got another harness. Pray that that fixes it...

also, my sunroof is teh slow, and needs help. same with my power windows.
dents and scratches that appear somehow while my car sits in the driveway...
My broken logicon that only blows regular air on high or nothing.
my door locks can only be locked/unlocked with a key.
the stock balogne slicer rims... bleh

oh and the fact that i still havent driven my car out of my neighborhood and I've owned it for over a year.
I think the worst is how much I still love my car and feel the need to spend even more on it

Worst part meaning the things I can't really change without a ridiculous amount of work would be all the extra wiring/harnesses left hanging from the previous owner having done the auto to manual swap and the lack of transmission to chassis support (manual and auto crossmembers welded together). Other than that its all work that I havent gotten the chance to do.

I hate how since i carbed it and didnt add a dizzy from a first gen, it drives perfectly fine and fast but people say the timing is wrong from the ecu not getting a signal from a tps or maf. Its been running on the stock ignition plus a FC1000 for almost 3yrs. NO TPS NO MAF NO PROBLEM. I am a lil curious as to what the timing is set at by the comp when there is no tps signal. Added it once and it ran like S*** Oh and the fact that its never had a decent paint job/wide body kit cracks everytime its molded. I need a carpet too
