What is wrong with your car? Options

[Malek]

So I've had my car for about 2 months now..the man who sold it to me (used car dealer) told me that it's a "real pussy getter." I, however, think this device is broken or just needs replacement. Does anyone know where i can get one? Thank You

No but really haha my real list so far:
1. leaking oil (recently replace valve cover gasket so it's good now)
2. Rear struts
3. cracked windshield
4. Torn intake
5. rust surrounding the rear windshield and bottom of driver door
6. dents and deep scratches from previous owner

Hopefully that will be all..its truly a beautiful car though

That's it. All fixable, and all on the to-do list thankfully.

ya about that heel-toe situation. Im having the same problem. Like you said, different levels, and kinda no room i think. how is that fixable.

Valve cover gasket is easy to fix if you have tools shouldn't take you more than 15 min.

Worst part about my car right now is waiting for parts that I ordered.......1 of 6 things that have received.

[bizzerk]

problems from the outside in.

1. paint on the roof is fading.
2. front/rear bumper paint doesn't match the rest of the car's color too well.
3. a bird scratched my car.
3. when engaging the clutch it makes this whining noise. (when foots off its quiet)
4. i have a 7afe.

Well, Right now my 6th gen has 19x,000 miles on it.

-The paint job the previous owner did was HORRIBLE. They taped around the license plat, didnt use primer, didnt paint the engine bay or door jambs.
-It needs a transmission put in.
-It has some minor dents on the passenger rear quarter.
-The drivers side seat has a tear on the bolster.

Other than that, it runs GREAT, looks pretty good, and other than the tear, the interior is VERY nice.

We are going to be replacing the transmission soon, and doing a good paint job on her. Most likely gonna be painting it metallic black.

wow I remember starting this thread like 4 years ago lol. Well here's an update now that I have the 99:

1. Vehicle mis-aligned, causing the tires to wear very unevenly
2. CD player dying
3. Front emblem missing, front bumper paint flaking a little, fender paint chipping
4. Rear hatch rattles, just needs the latch adjusted
5. Front strut mounts starting to go
6. Losing about a quart of oil a month, no idea where it's going
7. Not enough mods!

The car is actually in really good shape for a 99. I'm the 2nd owner, and the 1st owner had every little bit of maintenance performed and documented at the local Toyota dealership. Providing I don't buy another motorcycle the car will get a suspension makeover this summer. Otherwise I'll just be replacing parts with performance parts as they wear out, and do a lot of motor work when it eventually needs rebuilt.

The only things the matter with my car is my friends all think it's a freakin Taxi.
It's to expensive to take with me if I move to the states.
There's two small chips in the windscreen.
The passenger door padding falls down everytime I leave the car locked up on a hot day, no matter how much upholstery spray glue I use

Apart from that it's all good.

time to get this thread going again.

1. clear is paling all over
2. needs brakes
3. needs passenger side caliper
4. door panels are in rough shape
5. rust on rear wheel well on the passenger side
6. exhaust leak
7. engine is starting to make a funny noise
8. needs new speakers because mine are getting rather worn out.

(now dont go complaining about this being an old thread. good'ol search button.)

On my '94 Gt-S with 142 000km on the clock

1- Front fender misses paint and is a lil bumped. Front bumper is scrached on right side.. (Getting these two painted and fixed in the next 3 weeks)
2- Shifting is meh when cold, but it's not that bad
3- Some SMALL rust down my doors. (Maybe I will get this fixed with the bumper/fender too)
4- Low beams' seals are in good shape but they don't hold to the lights anymore (Need glue or what?)
5- Dent on my right side rocker that is barely visible because of it's height. (It's almost under the body lol)
6- Summer tires need to be changed
7- Burns very little oil. (Used to burn more a couple of weeks/months ago, don't know why, it kinda stopped. Probably Head gasket or valve seals)
8- Leather seats are worn a little. (Still in very good shape for a 16 years old car)
9- Trunk trims are scratched
10- Needs an allignment
11- Paint in general is pretty clean. Some lil swirls, but nothing big.
12- Wheel bearing (I guess, haven't checked it out yet) makes an annoying sound from time to time.
13- Lost my freon so no more A/C for the moment

..Nothing major. It is very clean, but not perfect ^.^

ha ha ha, it has one good brake, the front driver side... the rear pads need to be replaced and the passenger side caliper has one of its pistons seized.
