i keep breaking shit and maxing out my essentials because i keep making more power than i expected sooner than i expected.

i keep fixing it, and finding out i have to upgrade parts again to get it to run correctly

i havent driven it running “correctly” yet in boosted form because of the above.

i cant afford to get rid of my beat body kit and chariot style wheels.

First gear is useless. Baby sized turbo. No useful side bolsters on the seats.

The ABS light just because it’s annoying

No low end  
Rot on my firewall due to poor construction.

-ABS kicks in way to easily.  
-Seats aren’t the great for long trips.

This is for my 84 T/A

1- Squeaks constantly! Installed SFCs, didn’t change muche  
2- The redneck/ white trash reputation these cars have with many people. i think new paint will get me out of that category though  
3- Weight. There are lots of lighter cars out there, and not much I can do without hacking it up and making #2 a bigger problem  
4- no cup holders- might take care of that one with a new center console

Everything else I don’t like about it I’ve either changed already or will in the near future. the damn squeaks don’t seem to go away though!

Lotus:

“That the Back to the Future car?”  
“Why don’t your doors open straight up?”  
“Who makes Lotus?”  
“Yo, what’s that shit cost yo?”

Other than that, it feels like a hand built car in a lot of ways, and the transmission in it’s best form, is average at best. Also, while this has not happened to mine yet, all fiberglass cars are subject to spiderwebbing in certain stress areas, and I’m currently looking into doing some body to chassis reinforcements, while everything is still good. Finally, it’s terrifying to drive because, being fiberglass, if it were ever in an accident, they can be extremely expensive to repair.

MR2:

It’s black, and stays clean for about 3 1/2 seconds before it looks like it was just driven through a tornado. The 5sfe, while strong, and full of torque, feels a bit sluggish. Finally it’s terribly heavy for a car it’s size, nearly 2650 lbs. T-Tops add too much weight and are not worth having considering the drawbacks of them (water leaking, chassis flex).

Other than that, I thoroughly enjoy both cars to the fullest.

You can tell how little I use my car for more than 1 or 2 person transportation by the fact that I didn’t even think of the slow seats. But yeah, they’re way too slow. I don’t mind the trunk, just because I’d rather not DIAF in a rear end collision.
