    Default Things You Hate about Your Car

    As the title says just state whatever you hate about your car.Follow the format I made.

    2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 5spd.

    *Jeremy Clarkson Voice*
    The gear box is rubbish. getting into 1st and 2nd is abit like a virgin trying to find the hole.

    The suspension also rubbish feels like a cadilac. Also the turning radius is ridiculous.

    The cup holders are in the worst spot they could be right behind the gear lever.

    It's heavy

    It's slow.

    Not the cheapest car to modify

    It has a blown O2 sensor which has thrown the car into open loop causing it run rich.

    Blown idle speed motor which causes the idle to bounce upon down much like a 16 year old girl on a trampoline.

    Everyone assumes it's cheap and slow just because it's Korean. Yes, stock tibs are slow. Mine's not stock -- it's not a 700whp supra either, but it's not exactly a pushover.

    Another myth is that all Korean cars are cheap. Newer Hyundais aren't cheap. Cheap in price, yes -- Cheap in quality, no. I've had virtually NO problems with my Tib, and the few small problems i've had have been covered under a great warranty. I don't see why it's so damn hard for Hyundai to get respect when their cars are out there going just as strong as Japanese competitors. It's just an old stereotype that probably won't go away unless Hyundai impresses with their new RWD Tib coming out soon.

    edit: one thing i really hate about it is everybody asks me what kind of car it is because of the Tuscani emblems.

    Car: 1987 Mazda Rx-7 Turbo II

    Richard Hammond voice:

    -The chalky faded paint is more embarrasing then being called "Hampster"

    -There are absolutely NO shifter bushings left as they've desentigrated. The owner of this car must be cheaper than than James May's(the third, less known about top gear co-host) taste in women.

    -the manual steering rack makes parking harder than racing with the Stig himself.

    (okay, enough top gear talking)

    -it's stock

    -the brakes squeek

    -Mazda colored in the red box under the suspension condition and I have nothing to compare its ride to so I don't know how bad it really is.

    -its winter and I have to warm it up for about 4 or 5 minutes(rotary) before I want to go anywhere and most of my errands are just up the street

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    If I had any money at all, then yes, it'd be fixable. It's okay, I'm getting a new job soon hopefully.

    I hate the dings i keep finding all over the car every 2 days.


    I hate the kids that play wiffle ball in the parking lot of my apartment complex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    lets see:

    no door panels or carpet (yet)
    open header
    not fast enough yet
    everything for it is cheap so im tempted to spend my rent on the car because of how much i could do with 1 rent check
    headlights arent aimed and im too lazy to aim them, they also choose when they will work and when they wont
    throttle screw on the carb keeps backing out until it starts dying at stop lights, where is the damned loc-tite?!?!
    if i dont time my lane changes just right the sway bar mounts rip up road reflectors.


    thats about it for now

    1) Hard shifting with the traction control on. Competely locks up the rear and the car almost slams to a stop. Just gotta remember to turn that sh*t off. lol

    2) Uber-small rear sway bar. It might as well not even be there. It feels like I'm pulling a trailer under hard cornering.

    the paint
    top leaks quite a bit in the rain
    interior scratches
    loud exhaust
    weird idle (maybe fixed next week)
    the paint
    my door has a bondo hole right now (recent development)
    seats are ugly
    the paint
    personal trunk pieces dont quite fit right
    no trunk lining.
    carpet is old and could use replacing.

    otherwise i love the car.

    all in all the goods definately trump the bads.

    Hmm...

    To low to go a lot of places
    Spec stage 5 clutch isn't exactly easy to use
    I can't drive it down at school
    Smokes when its cold
    Stereo sucks (working on that)
    Two step isn't setup right yet
    Traction is a little bit of an issue
    Wheels are hard to keep clean

    not bad when matched against the reasons I love the car.
