You think your car needs work....

I would love to hear all the things that need to be fixed on your car at the moment. Not mods but actual repairs.

Mine needs:

ball joints
Inner/outer tierods
front wheelbearings
front and rear brakes
front and rear rotors
Brake fluid change
coolant change
exhaust leak repair
alignment

(I just installed a newer 4EAT that soaked me for $700.00)

i have a TON of rust repair to do too.

needs a new decklid, drivers door, and bothe front fenders, as well as some body work to the rockers and the rear 1/4 panels.

My old Wagon (which I gave away) had so many problems! I can't think of a single mechanism on the car that worked properly... yet the car kept going for years and is STILL getting its new owner around.

Synchros on 1+2
Shift linkage bushings
Freon leak
Driveshaft carrier bearing
Front CV joint
Pinston rings leak - major smoke
Rear doors lock automatically when you don't want them to
Driver door DOESN'T lock
Driver window won't go down (because it's blocked by the broken lock mechanism mentioned above)
Rust
Lights broken on ALL four corners due to bad parkers
Warped brake rotor shimmy
Alignment
Much interior plastic broken
Rear speaker rusted out after broken window let rain in

Oil pan, exhaust manifolds, and front bumpers scraped up after doing this 5 times in a row:

Oh yeah, and DIRTY. Not like "looks dirty" more like "looks like dirt was thrown in the car with a shovel"

Um... I have a small smudge on my drivers door that I need to take some rubbing compound to. That's about it.

An engine would be very nice.

93forestpearl · Post by **93forestpearl** » Fri Sep 09, 2005 2:42 am

Hmmm, where do I begin.

tranny rebuild, again-syncros and this time, bearings
lower radiator support
hood
windshield
pull the front corner so my headlight is straight
exhaust so I can quit patching and gorilla welding
front fenders
AC condensor
heater fan relay(4th)
seatbelt track and motor
front speakers
sticky caliper
all bushings
rust by mirrors, door handles and back wheel wells
drivers door lock cylinder
rear bumper cover
repaint
beachball gas station tires
roll cage
about $3500+ to build up the dissasembled ej22t in my basement

I suppose I could scrape the rest of the deer suet off thats been on my car for a year.

-Valves tapping lightly at idle
-Grumpy synchros on 1st and 2nd

compelled by this thread, I fixed my scratch on the door. Now my car is in perfect mechanical condition. Though I do need to change my oil and fuel filter.

wow. i'm happy to say that ever since i have had my car (2.5 years) nothing has gone severely wrong, maybe cuz the engine's rebuilt. my only issues are my tranny, a/c, and right cv joint. oh, and my o2 sensor. other than those minor things along with normal wear on a 15 year old car, it is unstoppable and incomparable with most cars my friends have.

come by seattle and we can take car of the cv joint and O2 sensor.

okay! is $80 each a good deal on remanufactured cv joints? that's what my local schucks wants.

jamal · Post by **jamal** » Fri Sep 09, 2005 8:21 am

Wow, I'm not quite as ashamed of the poor condition of my car at the moment. The paint kind of sucks, but all the windows work, a/c works, suspension is new, wheels are new. Now for the bad part. I need:

Tires
An alignment
to install the WRX front and H6 rear brakes I have in my room
possibly a new engine.

Oh, shit. there it was. rod knock at a mere 170,000 miles. I figure I'll either drive the car off a cliff or do a WRX 5-speed driveline swap.
