it sure does anyone willing to donate a IAC for a 95 rs so i can get back on the road? i've got plenty of spare 1g interior parts. you guys are lucky my woman complains about holding my drink.


Damn bro, if I had one I would ship it to you free of charge. I'll check with some local dudes to see if they have anything laying around.


Yeah, she doesn't usually complain, specially if we go to wendy's since she digs into my fries first.
 
- Rattling interior
- Dome lights don't work all the time. I always have to take the bulbs out put them back in. I don't get it.

Thats pretty much it, the Talon hasn't given me any major problems. Yet everyone I work with is always calling it along with other DSMs garbage.

They're just dumb. That's all. They'd be jealous if they knew.
Yeah, I'd have to agree. Everyone there pretty much drives boring or beat cars; 2 Saturns, a Taurus, 4 Honda's, and beat to shit barely running RX-7. The only other cool car there is an S2000, and unlike everyone else there he actually likes my car.
 
my 98 The power windows, door rattles, it not being turbo. my old 91 the busted thermostat that blew my head gasket.
 
The windows are hard to roll up, but not down. And sometimes make a loud pop before they finally start rolling. (Sounds like a gunshot)
 
Ohh boy...where to start

Suspension squeaks
Broke front motor mount
Odometer and speedo don't work
Everytime I fix something, something else breaks
Turning radius sucks
FWD FTL
Boost Creep
Last, but def. not least, it crankwalked...
 
I hate that the only rust on my car is the stupid idiot dumb ring around the ciggy lighter. So instead, I took it all out and put my shift light in it. Now, I have nothing to hate. :) Problem solved. VARY NIZE!
 
folding myself in half to get in it (only 5'8")
why did they bother putting a back seat in it?
only car out of the 15+ I've owned that has the gas on the passenger side. WTF?
14 year old suspension feels like I'm riding on 2x4s
 
Found a new annoyance since the suspension upgrade, one I'd forgotten from the old days; the wiper stalk.

A solid launch...wipers on.
A bridge with a bump going up to it on the freeway...wipers on.
 
i think im mostly worried of it breaking even on stock boost with 27k on a full rebuild :hmm: and little problem down the road hopefully thats it. other than that i love it
 
i hate when it rains my passenger window works and when its dry outside my passenger window works but the driver side doesnt... never ending, and that my car isnt turbod anymore , cop magnet, and how insurence companys want these cars off the road,,
and the cars black and small so i got backed into late at night in march by a truck when my car was turned off so the horn couldnt sound but i won the claim after almost 10 months now my cars getting fixed up ! fresh paint job here we go
btw parking lots are not always 50/50 had to fight this one out never make a deal to fix your car through third party options always report the accident and who was at fault the next day person was suppose to pay 50$ to fix my car few months later they changed there minds and i almost got demerits for being parked horray for texts! person caused 700$ damage and didnt wanna pay 50$ haha

Having one cupholder for me is not enough. I hate how i have to wrestle with it to put a bottle of sweet tea in there. Also the easily breaking door handles.
 
Oh god, the cupholders are my biggest problem too. If you can even consider the second "cup holder" a cup holder, cant hold anything in place. I dont even bother to use them cus I cant even shift without whatever beverage getting in the way.
 
Cup holder is shitty, can't shift while having a drink in it, door handle broke after 19 years. The interiors are cheesy as hell and the interior pieces rattle like hell. The backseat collapses inwards when anyone sits in it cause it's not supported. The suspension squeaks pretty loudly in all 4 corners. ( Where is the 2nd cup holder? LOL)

It's a plastic insert that takes up half the center console armrest cubby. It's worthless as soon as you make a turn.
 
I can nit pick on things already posted by other members, but truthfully only thing I hate is that talon parts example front and rear bumper are like finding a pot of gold. A carbon fiber one would be sweet.
 
What I don't like about our cars is how unpopular they are, at least in my area. It's mostly stanced hondas and seems lately those older subarus, wrx and even the wagons are poping up everywhere. Dsm's definitely in the same price range, they got the looks, and even more performance
 
Thats true in my area too. Very rare cars here, Seen probably 4 2gbs and 1 1g talon around me. I see wrx's nearly daily.
 
Walking by my car everyday knowing that it runs wanting to drive it but don't want to drive it until I swap out the engine and do other crazy things. Seeing another dsm on the road when you aren't in yours.
