Got my VR4... damage control follows

I love this car. Sadly, three days after I buy it it's off the road.

Re-affixed an exterior panel that was falling off (one of the read roof strut ones).

Dealer did some work on the suspension. Dynamic suspension is now locked to hard (ouch) and the wheels and steering wheel are no longer aligned.

Cruise control doesn't work.

Rear active spoiler is locked in the up position. Minor. Want it fixed anyway.

Then, last night, the tensioner on the alternator pulley broke. The alternator wheel then dismounted, but amazingly, stayed on. The result: a 2000RPM rattle against the engine. Somehow I got it home, but no way am I starting it again until that's fixed. Forunatle,y probably a cheap fix and no damage other than the above parts has been done.

I must say, while it was running, despite all these problems, god it was an awesome car. I can't wait for it to be on the road again in a short while.

The dealer reckons it should be all go later today.

If she's in good shape, it's straight off to get the windows and taillights tinted.

Oh yeah.

Any chance of you posting a pic of your veilside VR4?

Re: Got my VR4... damage control follows

It must have cost you an arm and a leg to fix. I have a 92 stealth es and it is not cheap on repairs!
