One thing thats frustrating about being into cars.
 

They never seem to run just right. My last car seemed to always have issues ( 1999 Civic Si), i seem to constantly be replacing things on my current car, and it seems to be the same with pretty much everyone i know thats into cars. I'm not really sure if its the fact that these cars actually have problems, or we just pay more attention to problems then normal car owners do. What do you guys think?

I think we just pay more attention to the problems and ask more of our cars.

my thoughts exactly.. :D

yeah or my luck just sucks

MY GOD DAMN SUBARU BLEW A HEADGASKET OR SOMETHING

being a car person you obviously pay more attention to it...and well non car ppl they could care less about whats going on...

also this is what i have noticed....when a car stays stock ...you don't have too many problems but as soon as you begin to modify it you start to run into all kinds of problems.....

I could never really fund the whole car enthusiast (sp) thing. plus i got in a little late as far as knowledge base goes.

its kind of a bad situation becuase the harder you try to be into the whole thing, the harder it is (ie. the more you do to your car the more shit fucks up, the more you learn how to do, the harder things get to do, etc.)

Ill always like cars, and if i get a nice job im sure ill get back into it more. but i cant really casually participate the way i used to.

so .... yes, i think its both.

It also doesn't help that we all beat the shit out of our cars on a regular basis:D

john not the subaru :eek:

Re: One thing thats frustrating about being into cars.
 

Isn't that the truth.

Re: One thing thats frustrating about being into cars.
 

haha, my car loves it though. except powershifting 3rd gear. :(

i plan on finding out how much more abuse she can take here soon. ;)

Re: One thing thats frustrating about being into cars.
 

lol my 3rd gear also hates power shifting...lol.....killed a couple trannys doing that and also broke a shifter.....lol

Re: One thing thats frustrating about being into cars.
 

i ripped third gear out one time and stopped that powershifting shit and she just breaks a driverside axle here and there.

Re: One thing thats frustrating about being into cars.
 

I wanna see this.:)

Re: One thing thats frustrating about being into cars.
 

you sir will get a pm when i get back out to the track. probably one sunday this month. that is only if you promise to help push the car off the track if she breaks. hahaha


i'm pretty confident that she won't though. :)

Re: One thing thats frustrating about being into cars.
 

Thats so true. My friend had his car for 4 years with no motor probs, and as soon as he started working on the motor, its been one problem after the other, usually about 2 times a month for the past year or so...

Re: One thing thats frustrating about being into cars.
 

Of course :thup:, but I think you'll be ok..... I just wanna the # it lays down along with the crowds reaction.:D

Re: One thing thats frustrating about being into cars.
 

haha, i got something coming in on monday that i need to make it all work. I'm going to try and be out there next sunday. if you want i'll let you know for sure if you wanna come check it out. I might even try to get around to seeing what it puts out on the dyno at SATS if I can get around to it. :)
