Re: what's wrong with your car?
My car hasn't really gone anywhere in a good year or so, due to needing some parts and fixing and my needing to wait till I have some spare change to take care of these problems.
- brakes! Front rotors severely warped, new pads all around, and the left rear caliper dragging
- exhaust, there's a hole rusted in the pipe between the cat and the muffler
- electrical, battery's dead and when I do jump start it and try to drive it around teh complex, if I stab the brakes, the engine tries to stall and the wipers sweep the windshield once (?) - thinking this should go away with a completely charged battery.
And of course it's uninpsected, unregistered, and uninsured, so legally it can't go anywhere anyway.
I've already started accumulating parts (rotors and pads) to get these things taken care of and we'll be back on the road real soon.

Re: what's wrong with your car?
Haha lets see...
Well other than a car accident which took a goo dportion of the drivers side...my car is just fine!!!
-disty went ($700 cad)
-a little oil in one of the cylinders (common with mx3's)
-a little rust in the wheel well (repairing in a month with the drivers side!)
Other than that I have taken very good care of my baby. I would expect what has happened to happen seeing how the car is 11 years old! Like c'mon parts can't last forever!

Re: what's wrong with your car?
BnSracingc....said...exhaust, there's a hole rusted in the pipe between the cat and the muffler
mine had the same thing. i got stopped by the local police and was asked if my muffle was legal i said of course it is. 4 months later i find out its not the sweet sound of my stainless steel muffler but that same hole rusten in the pipe between the cat and the muffler. found out when i took it in for an inspection just for fun. cost me $40 bucks to replace the pipe but with a larger diameter.
