Whats F&#^ed up with your Car Thread

[Creizai]

Lets see a list of what is fucked up on your car. Maybe this will bring us together on this forum lol.

-Tie Rod Ends are broke open and right side Inner is bent to shit. Toe out on the right tire.

-LSD Front Right Bolt Head is broken where the diff connects to the subframe Missing bolt still.

-LSD might night have been torqued down on all the bolts (Inside the diff)

-F1 Clutch (Installing this thing was the worst idea ever, Slips, Bearing sucks, Made me hate life)

-KA24E (SOHC for noobs) Valve Cover Gasket has small leaks so my engine bay is dirty as fuck

-Alpine CD stolen along with Metal bracket for cd-player missing

-Tint on window is pealing like fuck

-Rust on both frame rails towards the front baseball sized

-Rust on the rocker panels (Needs sideskirts hehe).

-Heating is fucked (I went of the touge and went off roading since then my heat never turns off)

[yokotas13]

however my starter does makign a slight grinding start after starts like it doesnt want to disengage from the flywheel....but not really a problem as much as an annoyance

[exitspeed]

Picks sum it up pretty well. Broken Control arm, Broken tie rod, 2 wrecked tires, and that thing my friend is holding it bent at a 90degree angle when it' supposed to be straight.

[Ritz S14]

Exhaust leak
171whp :(
Rear window bubbly tint
Worn out bushings..replaced a few, but lots left.

[TheSnail]

4th ringland took a crap. Parted out the car, and bought a new one. The new one got caught in customs on the east coast. Now its going around to a port in Cali to be let in, then trucked across the states.

[WilloW]

Blown shocks, a KA with 168K miles with spark plugs keeps backing out on their own, paint fading on the roof, numerous worn out bushings, and AN EMPTY WALLET.

Edit: lip, sideskirts, and rear bumper need to be painted.

[punkz]

Oil leak that I have no clue where it's coming from
Need to roll fenders
Replace broken lower lip

[Saisoku]

Seeing this thread reminds me that I really need to sell my car, but any way here is my list:


Needs Paint and body work
Headlight wiring is FUBAR
No brake lights
chassis twisted
no horn
exhaust leak
Its not an S15<--biggest problem

Thats all from off the top of my head. Anybody want it?

[JVD]

My one and only problem is a scary one. When my car was originally purchased(I bought from the original owner), it was damaged in shipping. A hole was put in the bottom of the car(right where the drivers side seat bolts closest to the rear of the door). They fixed it, but this seems to be coming back to haunt me. I went to unbolt my seats to put in some leather S14's and well, lets just say an entire rusty chunk of sheet metal was spinning along with the bolt I was wrenching on. It's gonna get fixed this weekend though. I just bought the car so it is the first thing on my list.

Everything else is absolutely perfect. Even the HUD. The old KA24E actually runs quite well too!

JVD.

[MELLO*SOS]

[meteorite_flo]

-when my car was stock. some dumb fuck stoled my stock deck like an idiot. took the two things that holds up the deck. now my cd player is hanging loose.

-master cylinder is leaking i believe cuz everytime my car gets parked for a long period of time brake peddle goes all the way in.

- clutch, but getting installed tomorrow.

- no o2 sensor, cuz of some stupid aftermarket turbo elbow. in need of a 95 z32 sensor. gas prices are ridiculous.

-tow truck towed my car when the clutch fucked up on me, and i wasn't there to take off the bumper, so now my s15 origin bumper is cracked in the middle! : (

-hkb hub won't come off for shit because my friends little brother clocked it in wrong and he forgot to grease the hub the dumb fuck. now i drive the car with the steering wheel tilted while going straight.

-one of my dampening setting needle thing for my front coilover is missing due to some dumb fuck that didn't tell me about it.

-stripped my greddy oil pan bolt, so now i use teflon tape so the sucker won't leak.

- bushings are worn out, definately need to replace.

i think that's about it. : (

[oOdextaOo]

[2iv0 sx]

oh yeah my third brake light doesnt go off...

[JMixedDS13M]

*Defroster doesn't work
*Small crack on front windshield with a bigger one spreading it's way slowly but surely
*On cold start need some footwork with gas pedal otherwise engine dies out
*Check engine light likes to play peek-a-boo
*Release bearing really shot to hell
*Vents won't turn off
*Torn Bellows Boot on Rack and Pinion but steering is beautiful still
*Windshield and Hatch glass seals very bad likes to drink water when it rains
*When front defroster is turned on engine idles VERY low
*Massive oil leak going on down below and as a result motor mounts and virtually all bront end bushings bathed in lots of oil
*Exhaust has something inside shielding rattles and kinda sounds like a BOV when i shift around 2500 rpm so not too bad
*Major Cracked dash(i know me and thousands others)
*Trip Meter can't reset to 000. Reading is messed up
*Passenger Side Seat Belt starting to go out

*Rear wiper works when it wants to
*Reverse lights don't go on

HICAS - needs new headlight

[ballr858]

-drivers side window rolls down but takes about 3 minutes to roll back up
-paint on roof faded
-corner lights and drivers side fender held on by zipties because of previous accident when I hit a fukkin couch on the freeway
-coolant leak on heater hose
-no power steering belt or ac belt

I'm in the process of fixing things little by little whenever I have time. other than that runs like a charm and pulls hard!

[EFnS13]

this thread is funny... but the fun part is fixing it all up... then sitting back and admiring what you accomplished...

anyways, here's my list

1. i look like an idiot at the gas station because i have to put down the rear seat and crawl in from the inside to pop the trunk or the gas cap
2. shift boot is literally disintegrating
3. leaking oil
4. dents on every corner
5. tan hatch on a juniper green car
5. steering wheel shakes vigorously at 55mph (needs alignment)
6. no headliner
7. passenger side seatbelt is stuck (sucks to be the passenger)
8. CEL (EGR problem, good thing i got my smog check before that happened)
9. reverse lights don't work (fuse keeps blowing out for some reason)

well thats all i could think of... but i love it because i only got it for $500 and it runs!

[SNC240SX]

nothing works on the pasanger side of the car window seat doesnt move mirror broken, other then that its a 240 so everything is broken now or will be soon.

[miucus]

1. clutch slipping bad
2. stock exhaust on sr
3. gasoline scent in cabin
4. alignment bad
5. tires almost bald

[Munch]

My cars pretty screwed up...

1. Virtually all suspension peices worn out.
2. Clutch chatters after driving around the city for awhile.
3. Engines leaking real bad from everywhere. (crack on upper timing cover, leaky seals, crap)
4. Engine = 233k miles.
5. Engine bay super dirty.
6. Tranny doesnt wanna go into reverse sometimes unless i roll the car forward first.
7. CEL comes on every now and then either complaining about an EGR problem or an injector leak. (as far as i know, neither is true, but not sure)
8. Interior super dirty.
9. Poo brown interior. (with black dash though)
10. Could use some paint.
11. Leak from PS hose with the metal fitting in the middle.
12. Rear brakes arent working properly. Cant get them to lock with the E-brake.
13. Not very much brake pedal pressure. Pedal goes down when I pull up e-brake.
14. Plenty more, im sure...

[d-oom]

[Pennyman]

As an S30 driver I can say in fact that MY CAR HAS MORE RUST THAN ALL OF YOURS.

A leak from the tranny that won't stop even with new seals.
Heater control valve that gushes water into cabin (currently bypassed).
Defroster no workie.
Glazed front rotors so the brakes squeal like I have no pads left.
The Grand Canyon lives in my dash.
Bad wiring under dash bypassed with wire nuts.

But luckily my car doesn't have as much electronics as a S13, so less of that can go wrong...

[IMPerfection]

My A/C blows too cold nomatter how close I slide the temp adjuster towards the red side.

Minor PS leak.

Exhaust manifold gasket leak.

Throwout bearing should be thrown out.

Disintegrating shift boot.

Cracked bushing on eBay STS; loose/sloppy shifting.

8 wheels, 2 good tires.

New wiper blades, old wiper blade performance!

Discount Auto Parts windshield washers - reservoir smells gnarly, they leak all over hood (despite proper installation), and can't overcome wind at speed to spray windshield.

[mRclARK1]

Besides minor annoyances...not much.....until last week.

I had a PERFECT windshield on my 91 coupe. Literally perfect. But last week I was pulling onto the freeway when some truck came flying past me and cuts me off. He had 3 lanes of empty space beside him that he could have pulled into so I could merge. Instead he flys past me, and pulls in front of me, with his rock studded tires and puts 3 wonderfully large cracks right in my center of vision and another big smash right smack in the middle of the HUD display on my windshield.

And one of my heater settings doesn't work...never has.

[Drift Motion]

needs rear interior reinstalled and battery relocated to front
needs different front seats
needs 3.6 final drive (S15 helical diff would be cool too)
needs sideskirts & valences paintedneeds peeling clearcoat fixed, in addition to some dents.
engine hasn't been run in a long time

Shrunk stuff is fixed, bold stuff is still outstanding.

Italics indicate that the problem remains, but the parts needed are sourced.

[CrimsonRockett]

I need...

Paint.
Install aero.
Tint.
Cage.

I think that's it.

[awesomenick]

My transmission gets stuck in first.
My clutch sucks.
I don't have any wheels/ tires that fit on the back.

Girls hate it.

[C. Senor]

mine needs:

re-check wiring

bolts on exhaust need to be found and replaced, and the rest taken off and loctite'd
dual cam ac stuff
rubber shift boot that goes under the actual shift boot.
big ass dent from driver rear quarter panel removed

and rims wouldnt hurt either.

stupid 240's always need work.

on the Acura:
-two small dings on the passenger fender from hitting a tiny deer
-driver side corner light sticking out at a funny angle, needs to be bolted in properly
-tiny rust bubble forming on rear passenger wheel well (honda rust)
-ABS unit leaks, need to buy a junkyard one for about a hundred bucks shipped
-as of yesterday, front left woofer makes crazy noise on occasion. didn't do it at all today, who knows

the fix: i'm going to knock out the rust, go over it with touchup paint, reattach the corner light properly, maybe fix the ABS, maybe just top it off, and sell the fucker. i plan to be driving a police interceptor this winter.

on the 240:
-shit's fucked

the fix: ignore it

But my #1 problem as of now is my driverside tailight. I got a pulled over for it the other day. The light comes on but when i brake its not anymore wtf?

same here, i got no time to play with the car right now. so i just drive the DD, put the car on hold, or if someone comes up with the ca$hiez moniez; i'll let it go. i really want a black on black LS430.

[origin_s135]

[C. Senor]

top mount is shot to crap, pop ups stuck in open position, and needs a bath.

[mrmephistopheles]

sagging bumper

[zaneithan]

[turbobrick]

My nissan is fine. My volvo has a blown headgasket, but that will be fixed by the weekend.

[rice_bowl]

Sits too high
Weird creaks in suspension somewhere
Seatbelt warning stays on
Steering wheel makes a screeching noise on turns sometimes
No Sr
Sometimes doesnt start even with a new battery and starter.

[DirtyS14]

my front wheel is chewing up the wiring harness like a f**kin churro

I'm hardcore. :hahano:

[singlecamslam]

Where do i start....
Rear calipers make a dying elephant noise when i back up
Tranny leak somewhere (missing dust thing)
Interior rattles because of solid motor mounts
Door panels have 3 inch gap on each side where it meets the dash board

Have 3 holes for gauges but no guages
mirror is broken
crushed midpipe
reverse lights dont work
needs paint
cracked windshield
- its all on my to do list.

[deolio]

i drive it...

ps is gone, coilovers are blown, chain guides need to be replaced, odo doesn't work, antenna is missing, and a hole in my exhaust from where a bracket ripped off.

[WanganRunner]

Hmmm


2008 TSX: Passenger door doesn't always shut all the way. Obviously it's still under warranty, so I'm going to hand it to the dealer and have them fix it. It's got something to do with the seal around the door.

Passenger window squeaks sometimes too.


96 Miata: Both airbags blown, paint sucks, leaking some oil, little bit of lifter tick (common for MX5). Nothing outrageous, I already have the new bags.

2003 Ninja 250EX: Needs bar risers, brake lever, and battery.

08 250R and 08 Ruckus are both 100% A-OK.

[S14TEENZ]

i need a paint job.

[krislin]

Idle is random, everything rattles, driver's window handle has fallen off, fan controller doesn't work, transmission makes funky grinding noise in 4th decelerating, and 5th accelerating, light doesn't come on for driver's door, but does for passeneger, greddy air intake doesn't really fit, and yes, you can drive with just 1 bolt in your driveshaft. Makes pretty bad vibrations tho, dunno how they came out!

[i8yourfwd]

A/C fan broke off the bracket (lol?) annddd still have EGR problems which cause terrible idle when cold.

[MandTPhotography]

Hmm...where to start...

My car was campaigned as a drift-car for quite a while so it's got some issues.

Paint is 'effed. (And is bright purple)

Cage was cut through the dash all ghetto-fab style.

Tranny makes weird noises decelerating.

Dash lights flicker at night.

Random Voltage Drop?

It's slow.

Rear bumper is ziptied on.

Hood is jacked.

No reverse lights.

Dents in roof

Brakes fail epically.

The list goes on....

[Future240]

It doesnt like to stay started when its cold

[druthafoo]

-headlights don't like to pop up when it's cold

-brake likes dont come on
--It's the brake switch bc everytime I swap it out or adjust it, they work again
--I've probably tried to fix it over ten times
--never been pulled over tho, *knocks on wood*

[enkei2k]

my rims are fubar'd , dents here and there, rusted qp, speedo has a mind of its own. bushings are bad, shitload of underbody rust, 4x4 status, stock everything, no bass in sound system, alarm is wack, fogged zenki's, paint job, etc...shit. thanks for reminding me how much of a POS my car is lol

[StalinDrift123]

I got a 1990 Nissan 240SX SE Hatchback.

1. STOCK AS A MOFO!!!!

2. Weird loud rattling noise when backing up sometimes.

3. Everything automatic in car work, but the drivers side window, it goes down but to raise it back up it needs assistance so i usually press up to close window and pull the window with my hand. lol....

4. SOHC with nothing modded only an Injen intake. Leaking like a mofo out of every hole.

5. The sunroof has the latch problem, it snapped off on one side and so i never open the sunroof.

6. AUTOMATIC!!!!!! tranny jerks u coming from 1st gear to 2nd.

7. Painted by previous owner and with shitty quality! so the paint chips and not painted anywhere else but the top of the vehicle and didnt even bother to take the front bumpers license plate holder, so when i removed that there was original white paint in the middle of the bumper!!!! :(

[BPFTW]

1. Hood bracing is detaching itself from the hood

2. Flat tire...its been sitting since December though

3. Bent wheel...probably why the tire is flat

4. Waste Gate is fubared so I don't build any boost to 6000+ rpm

5. Stalls when cold...prob just have to mess w/ the Water Correction on the PFC

6. I didn't put the motor in or do any of the wiring so I am unsure of it, I've already fixed a bunch of hack ass wiring in the car :(

[NismoB13]

-Air/Fuel ratio is at 10.5:1 under boost.
-still not happy with the weight(currently weighs 2,250lbs)

[S13_Nightkid]

-headlights don't like to pop up when it's cold

-brake likes dont come on
--It's the brake switch bc everytime I swap it out or adjust it, they work again
--I've probably tried to fix it over ten times
--never been pulled over tho, *knocks on wood*

Is it a coupe? If it is tighten the screws connected to your grounds in the tailight housing. That happened to me.

Also, the timing chain rattle is getting louder:bite:. Damn you money pit.

[ro240sx]

My dash is cracked, My carpet has holes. thats pretty much it.

[punxva]

i need a shell, mine has been used and abused way too much stress cracks in the shell can prove it.

[Enna]

Sr wont start.
Brand new fuel pump doesn't work now.
Windows dont roll up.
Sunroof doesn't close.
Passenger headlight works when it wants to for low beam.
For some strange reason stock exhaust doesn't bolt up anymore with nismo mounts.
Haven't been able to drive it to find out if my speedo works.

[Blurryeyes]

unbalanced driveshaft, shit is noisy.

[Dee]

power steering just took a crap. The pulley froze up and decided to almost take my clutch fan with it. So yay for no power steering, I'll be buff in no time. :D

[nevertheless]

My car is slow
ebrake is held by zipties.
Front valve cover bolt is stripped so it leaks oil.

[S14Cuhh]

Idle is a bit choppy.

The speedo works when it wants(speed sensor?).
^I don't really mind, I drive at the speed others are going or a little slower.

Needs a alignment.
^Car is too low to get a proper alignment.

I don't really care except for the idle thing because I'm planning on getting a wrx anyways. Time to grow up and stop messing with cars as old as I'am.

Got the Z brake conversion finished, and put on some old coilovers, but still have S14 wheels on.

Still want to put the rear interior pieces back in and move the battery back to the engine bay.

I've changed the front seats out, and sourced a 3.6 final drive to slap in.

Still need to paint skirts and valances, and bodywork will be a long way off.

Engine has been run recently and passes smog fine.

Fuel tank leak still needs sorting.


Also need to change out one of the rear coilovers (I accidentally installed a seized one).

[PHAS3D]

Powersteering pump is dead, No ac, my speedo cuts in and out and switches from MPH to KM/H all the time. And my hood doesn't fit 100%, oh and some rust. :(

My sv650: needs tires, brake pads, and a chain and sprocket

My rm125: needs tires, brake pads, a chain, bars, a rear fender, and a pipe. Flipped a wheelie at the top of fourth a few weeks ago, tore my rotator cuff and havent touched it since. lol

[shiftdrift]

mine don't work on 4 lol, it's the resistor.

[BustedS13]

passenger side CV joint is clickety clacking on my CL now when i turn
also it needs an alignment pretty bad, and two tires because of the alignment problem.

[sirfallsalot243]

mine don't work on 4 lol, it's the resistor.

What resistor? I thought it was one of the little motors under the dash... If its something easy, maybe ill actually get around to fixing it.

[amdnivram]

I need to change out my axles, theres a very small sound when i hit bumps, its a damn wire in the hatch but i haven't been able to identify exactly which one. Somewhere around my heatshield a bolt is loose and making a rattling sound.

[5pecialist]

My power door locks just stopped working & are draining the battery. HELP!!!

[Okinawandrifter87]

Silvia speedometer works off and on when it wants, exhaust cut out wiring fell out of the zipties underneath the tranny tunnel, cleaning up the interior electronics aka boost controller bost gauge and turbo timer, I probably have some other small stuff too as well but those come to mind.

[lawrenceyang]

dirty thieves broke my hatch glass and stole my sub + front end damage from rear ending a s2k =(

[Future240]

I have an exhaust leak that I need to get fixed. My windshield has a rock chip in it that I need to fix before it spreads. The previous owner put lowering springs on the stock struts so my suspension is shot. I have a dent on my driver side fender. One of my fogs is out.

[Toyboxx]

SOHC
Primer Spot on Passenger side from previous owner
No A/C (lives in AZ)
Rack & Pinion is shot
Tranny is fawked
Exhaust Mount is broken
Missing a fuse box cover

Rear Diff is making some odd noises

There is prolly more that I'm forgetting.

But in all honestly, I love my car.

[[email protected]]

[Ares240SX]

Needs new door weatherstripping, hatch weatherstripping, needs new seats, carpets are forever stained God knows what, rear seats are faded, paint is peeling so bad and like every other 240SX it seems is multiple colors... and it is slow...

[I LUV MY S13]

ok i have no power inside the car; stereo, auto seatbelts, gauge cluster, head lamp..

my assumption is that im getting no power to the fuse box, but then the little clock inside the car turns on. what do you guys think?

[jdm2191]

My damn car issues!

-Tranny Leaks (Rear main seal?)
-Brake/rotors make a funny sound when my car is rolling?
-Car Makes a winding noise when I acclerate? (comes from tranny)

[handinpants]
