Post all your annoying things wrong with your car.

  • Sponsors (?)


-Heater core bypassed (that brings many problems of its own)
-Heads are leaking oil
-Passanger window doesnt go up or down without some help
-Passanger floorboard is constantly wet
-Front and rear bumpers are warped
-Exhaust pipes arent lined up evenly
-Paint is fading
-Belt squeek like a sob and no amount of wd-40 or anything can fix it -any suggestions


Let me get in it and I am sure I can find more things-be back shortly
 
'90
Hot starts
Car tends to shake when moving in reverse
Front/rear bumper paint peeling (most annoying). Guess I'll spend a little more on my next paint job.

'92
Havn't gotten shift kit right. Hangs on 2nd/3rd gear shift (during normal driving) then suddenly lunges the car forward.
Vibrating at higher speeds (probably the dirveshaft)
 
The list could go on forever on mine, but among the most immediate issues that come to mind:

- The Satanic Possession Issue (causes slightly rough/low idle and occasional light surging/power loss) which I've decided I will probably never figure out or cure
- Leaky/nonexistent sunroof (got the new one sitting in my car room, just need time to install)
- Low-hanging exhaust that scrapes on every bump/hump (still not too happy with UPR's cat'ed X-pipe fitment)
- That bizarre, annoying low-speed squeaking from the pinion seal (not the bearing) that only goes away for a week or so with a squirt of Seafoam Deep Creep or WD-40
- Total heater bypass/heater tube delete sucks for cold mornings or when you wanna defog the windshield in a jiffy
- The slow coolant leak that I'll probably never figure out (losing about 1/2 quart per week/150 miles) and that Bar's Heavy Duty Stop Leak I poured in makes my coolant look like diarrhea (a total PITA to flush out)
- The countless dents everywhere on my car, especially that stupid dimple in the nose of the hood that every OEM Fox body hood seems to have
- Having to use my trip odometer to guess at my remaining fuel level (already have a new fuel tank sender and Edelbrock pump, also waiting to be installed if/when I ever get time) and having to refill every 150 miles to avoid running the risk of going dry
- My driver's side seat edge is so close to the door that the seatbelt shoulder strap gets trapped between the armrest and the top/side of the seat, gotta leave the door open to put the belt on sometimes
- Broken vent cowl
- Broken ashtray door spring
- Broken armrest console latch
- Nowhere convenient to mount my 3-gauge set with my big honkin' Autometer tach installed

That's about all I can think of in one sitting. Y'know ... just little stuff. A LOT of little stuffs. :(

-some rubbing somewhere i need to locate in the front end due to lowering

-turbines :nonono:
-crappy brakes, partly due to a very slow leak in the rear softline
-225 tires
-dirty k&n
-front left wheel bearing is a little dry, so major humming at 40mph+
-DS or u-joint makes vibration a problem on the freeway
-$400 cobra tranny grinds second under hard shifts (can't complain though, better than a busted stock t5)

-65A alternator
-paint is oxidized, and clearcoat is gone everywhere but a corner of rear bumper

I forgot to mention:
-trak loc is broke
-ashtray and center console are broke
-D/S I think is unbalanced cause the car vibrates and jolts
-body needs work (paint, dents,)
-wheels are bent
-weatherstripping needs to be replaced
 
my car fouls the number 1 plug in like 5k miles and its got a terrible high rpm miss. ive replaced everything except the map sensor and i cant figure it out. im not sure if its a bad injector or what. it really pisses me off though
