1. trunk is rusting cause of bad weatherstripping and no carpet in the trunk
2. Bad heater core, just rerouted the lines so it wouldnt leak inside the car
3. AC is leaking, so i cant use it.
4. Rear main seal leaks a pretty decent amount of oil
5. Needs a new clutch cable
5. Car dies at idle all the time, cause of the longtubes
6. Driver side door panel is falling apart
7. Needs a new fog light switch

alright lets see...

1) hatch rattles.. someone tried to steal the wing and warped it...
2) wing has a slight rip in it
3) just replaced the water pump
4) tires rub when turned all the way when backing up
5) the button on the e-brake rattles from like 2k-3.5k rpm because of the exhaust tone... it just pisses my off
6) the actual bumper (not cover) was drilled on one side so i cant bolt the fog light bar up.. idk why bought it like that
7) its sometimes hard to get it into reverse
8) speedo cable makes noise

1. Using some oil, bout a quart every 1200 miles.
2. Rust on the rockers, in front of the tires(sucks *****, but you can't really notice it.)
3. Got a hatch rattle that i can't get rid of.
4.Broken head light clips(anyone know where to get some??)
5.Need new brake lines (anyone know where to get braided ones??)
6. Heater control temp knobis broke.
7. Need new sill plates.

Been a few months since I drove it, so there is probably more that i can't remember. I like to fix things though..if I wasn't so **** about everything being so nice, it would probably faster.

#5. Do you mean stainless steel braided? Russel makes good s/s brake lines from what i've heard. I replaced mine with rubber ones thoughcause s/s is so damn expensive ($80 for the set).

Yeah, that is what I meant. How much did the rubber ones cost you? Have link to the braided ones?

1. Rust- worst is in the lower 1/4 panels
2. clunk in rear of car- hopefully its the rear control arms and its in the shop getting torque box reinforcements right now
3. dimmer switch only works in one position
4. gear whine from rear (really not a huge deal for me)
5. its not fast enough
6. it sucks all the money out of my wallet faster than I get it

Theres probably a few other issues I cant think of right now as well.
