O/T:Whats wrong with your car?

[90civichatch]

I would like to know what kinds of problems everyones car has, I'm just curious.

I have a leaking oil pan gasket, split CV boot, Clicking CV joint, broken wire to my temp. gauge, torn seat and carpet, vibration in steering wheel, leaky hatch, pops out of second gear and clutch in such bad shape, the car wont move.

Man, I need a new car.

[Kunundrum]

it does not have a cup holder

Oil pan is in need of replacement, steering gearbox is shot, tires are wearing bad on the inside (needs an alignment), rotors are warped, alarm is starting to act up, power door locks aren't working 100%, and the biggest problem of all; it's not fast enough

[SiZ]

Its got a surging idle right now because I have no idea where to source a fast idle control valve for a 1st gen B16. AND, 3 gear grinds like a mo-fo.

Nice thread... don't think this has been done before...

Currently, I think my alternator is fuxored. CEL kept coming on while driving around, and couldn't figure out why. One time, just ignored it and kept driving, ended up frying my ignition coil. Put a new one in, and kept having same problem with CEL, had to pull over and let the car sit for about 10 minutes, and then it was good to go for another 10 miles or so. Finally got off my ass and put in the MSD system that I bought a year ago, hoping that would fix the problem, but it didn't. I'm led to believe that it is a grounding problem, but I've checked every ground I can think of, and still have the problem, although, lately, instead of the CEL, my battery light flashes from time to time, and it sounds like the alternator is making some funny noises, so I think that's what it is... just too broke to get it fixed right now.

That's about it right now... my sunroof switch was fucked up for a while, but seems to have fixed itself... ?

Oh yeah, and my tranny grinds in just about every gear unless I'm really carefull (and mostly then too)... think the synchro's are shot, or I need to change the fluid, but I can't get the fucking fill bolt off... Plus, I'm too lazy right now to really work on it...

Car won't pass emmissions either. Probably need a new O2 sensor.

My CRX is a different story though. Won't run very long, especially if I give it any gas, it'll die. Plus it overheats like a mofo. a work in progress though.

get rid of the rust and get my car painted

[90civichatch]

I know how you feel, my car was never fast enough either.

Anyway that makes me feel a lot better, I always feel like I'm the only one with a messed up car. I think Im gonna sell mine though, $500 as is.

Umm well my car is pink right now, it grinds going into 2nd sometimes, my exhaust rattles, my hatch leaks, and i can't think of anything else.

[1PhatCX]

If your hatch leaks try and clean out any dirt and shyte that is in there. Open it up and with a wet cloth try and clean around the rubber. After you clean it spray on some silicon(sp?) spray. It worked for my leak. I actually just did that today!

Now for things wrong with my car. Well some guy hit me 2 weeks after I got it so now it has nice dents all down the right side. My car burns some oil. There are a few rust spots, but they are getting fixed when I get the dents fixed. car smells like gas after I fill it up, but only for a little while, then it goes away. There is probly more, but I can't think of anymore at the time.

My baby does not have an F20C with twin turbos and 150 direct port shot of NOS... That D15B2 just does not want to give me an excuse for a swap . I guess that's not all that bad since I'll get more engine for my money when it does go... These 4th gen civics are ironclad if maintained properly and parts are becoming easy to find in the junkyard (except for the F- body that will rust easily when in contact with salt) The japanese assembled SE does seem to be somewhat more reliable than the rest though..... Just finished with all the rust and painted the car some two weeks ago. The main relay had to be changed, otherwise everything else works.

Do not bother flaming me as I'll likely end up swapping into some high mileage 6th gen civic. It sucks to not have a decent work area .

[crxlvr]

well other than the fact that i havent driven my crx since last Novemeber, have no time to rebuild my b16 and no money to bring it to a shop to have them finish it up, nothings wrong with it.

[Jay eS Iye]

where can i start? how abotu with hte most current, a non running transmission. whats wrong exactally i don't know but it was running with no fluid, so its probably locked up. wish i knew how to fix it myself, but i'm just looking for a new tranny.
hadda rebuild and then replace tghe engine from suckin in water.
some body damage from when my brother ran into an Accord. messed up front suspension from hitting a curb, may just be an alignment problem.
weather stripping it gone from the windows so it leaks and bangs around

yeah just lots of stuff

[GTA]

heres what i can think of

-Red Paints Faded
-need lugs for my new rims
-dizzy rotor is f'ed up so it misses alot
-burns a lil oil
-at least one wheel bearing is going out
-needs alignment and camber kit installed
-needs tuneup for smog

[Killa_CRX]

Front end damage from my brother rear ending my moms truck
blown head gasket
It's in about a thousand pieces on the floor of my shop waiting for me to pull the engine.
Between college, and working full time, I don't have much time left to work on it though
