Re: Post here every time your "DSM" having problem

Tie rod is shot, gas cover doesn't pop open, pulls to right, clutch is annoyingly low grab, sunroof sometimes leaks when it rains.

Re: Post here every time your "DSM" having problem

Tada time for my broke ass ride list. In the 6 months I have owned the car the following broke much of which is fixes.

4 tires went bad in 1 month so new Yokohamas.
ISC took a shit and died so new one.
Exhaust manifold gasket was fried.
Valve cover gasket leaking.
Driver door handle broke.
Sunroof making aweful noise when driving.
Front right axle broke.
Brakes all started squiking so new brakes.
EGR whatvever broke so it was in a shop for a while.
New spark plugs and wires since yesterday (NGKs of course) since spark was jumping wires were old and plugs were destryed.
And some damn noise that wont go away when I have headlights or brake lights on it keeps beeping and driving me crazy.

Thats about all the stuff I had to fix in 6 months time. Do I regret buying the car ? , fuck no. I love to see the face of people when I burn off the line and they always go " damn bro , what do you have under the hood ? I always say, lots of problems.

cracked valve cover (leaks like a bitch)
slightly leaking manifold
rough idle (can't find... tested everything)
broken motor mount (side mount, broke, other's just worn)
4 Maypop Tires
bent stock rims
blown stage III clutch

I could go on, but that's the biggest things...

Re: Post here every time your "DSM" having problem

I won't even bother listing everything I've done to my car in the last 6 months. I don't have the time or the patience to type it all out right now. As for *Current* issues with the beast; List as follows.

** While doing 255hp I messed the float up, so it never drops past 1/4 tank. Lucky enough the fuel light actually works..
** Rear hatch struts are starting to go bad, as well as the rear hatch lock doesn't like to work a lot.
** Rear power antenna is permanently in the up position.
** 2 of my 4 struts are blown.
** Rear shaft seal connecting my drive shaft to the rear end is leaking.. I need to fix that soon..
** ABS module is going out, vibrates like a Chinese hooker when I start the car up.
** Sunroof broke early this spring, had to take it apart to get it closed..
** HVAC lights are not functional due to my PLX hole cutting.
** Boost pressure sender for my Meth Injection failed. Good think I coughed it during a boost leak down test. Actually ordered a new one today..
** Brakes are going bad (changing tonight)
** Turbo's grenaded (using friends, but installing EvoIII tonight)
** Getting bored, couple other little things...

Sometimes, after I make a left turn with my blinker light on, the blinker lever doesn't like to pop back to the off position..... hahahaha.
