Not wrong now, but for the past week it bugged me, so;

I just finished pulling out my CD player because when my wife changed CD's, it wouldn't start the new one. Found the CD behind the radio; she had missed the CD slot and it slid between the CD player and climate control.:vash:

I stuffed in some of the beading you use for window screens, to stop it from happening again.:x:

Snow/crappy weather.

Two kids to ride with me to work next year.

Other than that, squeaky clutch petal and a rattling pilot bearing (?) when the clutch is disengaged in neutral.

bad water pump causing coolant to pee from the front of the car, should be taken care of by this week.

Other than that... its just too slow ;)

WOW, I'm glad I'm not the only one:
1. Burning oil/oil smell/occasional slight smoke. Less now that I'm running a 1/8 rivet restrictor.
2. Slight rattle somewhere under the instrument cluster started after clutch change... heat shield or something.
3. Running stupid pig-shit rich. Stinks like gasoline. AFPR set to max rise to be safe until I can get it on the dyno.
4. 200 miles left to break in the clutch.
5. Bad bucking at freeway speeds due to VTA and no 02clamp (install clamp and recirc this weekend).
6. Stupid NEWBS won't fill out their profiles or their sigs and then ask all sorts of in depth questions and don't even tell us what kind of car they've got. I don't know which smiley to use now... this:crx: ... or this:bigtu:

Trying to decide if it should wear 615's or 710's at the next autox :bigtu:

Flywheel chatter (lightened stock 1.8L flywheel).

Differential whine after doing the RX-7 diff. swap because (I think) I swapped in the wrong bearings...that's what happens when you have four different diffs. laying around the garage and you take a month to do the swap.

Intercooler pipes need to be re-done...or at least I need to do a quick-fix on one that's close to rubbing the alternator belt and another that's rubbing a radiator fan shround.

Got some exhaust leaks...at the head-to-manifold and downpipe-to-catback.

Need new tires...the 195/50-15 T1-S are spinning like a mutha in 1st and 2nd gears.

Uh...that's about it. Basically, I've just been trying to ignore it and drive the shit outta it :D

Oh yeah, and the tach and speedo do weird things, too :)

Snowsurfer03 12-13-2006 01:50 PM

Actually nothing at the moment!!!

I just need an oil dipstick cuz mine is completely melted off! Anyone got one???

In need of some new paint maby in the spring?

Oh yeah and another 100WHP would be nice :bigtu:

I'd put money on the backlash and preload adjustments. while it wont hurt anything, it might make you nuts.

It's entirely possible, as it was my first time doing it, but I'm pretty dang sure I got them within spec.

Yeah, I figure I'll just drive it and not worry until the sound gets worse ;)

I think it would be easier if I listed the things that werent wrong with my car
1.) Its ahhhhh.........got a............nice.......tires
2.) The ahhhh.......................wheels are good
3.)............................................... ...................

No really, everything on my car has gone to shit. Mostly, I just need a new motor.

Broke ass passenger side foglight. The whole back cracked right off when I was trying to change the bulb out. Got a used assembly, still have to install it.

Racer46 12-13-2006 06:39 PM

OIL EVERYWHERE UNDER THE HOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think the front seal is bad. Will check as soon as I can get some time off.

kotomile 12-13-2006 06:41 PM

- Melted rear bumper from muffler delete gone wrong

- until today, turbo was a little loose on the manifold, fixed.

- still haven't installed various go-fast goodies because no dyno in the area and weak 1.6 rear.

- Miata constantly burdened with the weight of LBV, Kevlar helmet, body armor etc.
