Show us your ride.... (dial up beware)

[Josh]

I got my car today.

Its a 1988 RX7. I need to do so much work to get it where I want it, but when I do it will fucking rule.

As it stands right now, flames shoot from the exhaust pipes when shifting between six and eight grand.

Totally. Fucking. Radical.

Thats a Pre-daimler BTW. Not that I think its a good thing. But anyways..

Im curious, when you say entire brake system, are we talking Calipers, Master Cylinder and the works, or something as simple as Rotors and pads?

Same goes for the suspension system, needs struts or needs all new bushings sway bars control arms...etc?

Pads, Rotors and struts are all wear and tear items, any car is going to need them replaced around 100K no matter what nameplate is on it.

And who told you that the entire exhaust needs to go if you change out the muffler? Its a freaking muffler, you cut the old one out and weld a new one in.

You sound like the victim of yet another crappy Chrylser dealership (which they have many) it up until the Daimler takeover was thier biggest problem.

The brakes were more than just rotors and pads. I don't know all the things they had to do, but it was over $1000 between the front and rear. Suspension probably just needs new struts, but it's not worth putting them in the car. Right now i'm just running it till something big breaks and i'm junking it. 106,000 miles right now.

I've been to 2 places about the exhaust. I went to Midas first, thinking i could get a fast, simple, cheap muffler replacement. They told me they don't make mufflers to fit my car, the muffler it came with is stainless steel or whatever and is supposed to last the lifetime of the car. If i want another it's rediculously expensive. So i took it to my mechanic (honest and completely trustworthy, I've been going there forever) and they said pretty much the same thing. They did manage to fix a part of the exhaust that comes of the engine that was worn through with a few welds. It was a frankenstien fix but it's servicable right now. The way my muffler is worn makes the engine sound like i've done a lot of mods actually, it's always funny when people ask what i'm running.

The transmission place said i ran the car to hard, and thereby melted my transmission into pudding. But i've never had transmission problems with other cars. I don't race or anything, i drive fast but i wouldn't say i abused it. Still, it could have been my fault.

Ice, I love RX7's. Rotaries are nice.

That's an A6, correct?

[Rumpy]

I think it's a new A4. We just gave back my mom's 2000 A4 1.8T (see above for the pic of the RSX-S) because it was going to cost more money to keep it after the lease was up and the thing was too unrealiable. It would be fine for awhile and get into little fits of break downs, and then be fine for awhile (plus it was out of warranty so if anything broke we'd have to pay for it). When it ran it was a bad ass car though. But the Acura is like 80 bucks a month cheaper, faster, and covered bumper to bumper. I like the car more and more as time goes on (it's fucking fast man, it takes you by surprise and has an awesome sound. Built for the highway.).
