Sawblades.

That is all.

Also, karman vortex sounds cool, but sucks. Rubber coolant hoses on the back of the head were a great idea. Other than that, no real complaints.

lever to open gas door is hard to pull, sawblades!, center arm rest needs to have tougher material, and just take out the backseats!

Yeah pretty much any project car qualifies. My Nissan was that until recently. Now it is pretty much where I want it until I blow the engine or crash it. ( still no roll cage though, want one of those! )

My old Toyota is the new money pit. Ahh the life of a car guy.

How bout the fact that you have to rip apart the entire trunk to change the tail lights. Maybe they should've made the rear interior more than 2 pieces. FAK!

;)

salesman? you lost me on that one!

hmm i didn't think droping the tank was that bad to change the fuel pump.

Sure its not the end of the world. But it took me 20min on my Nissan 240sx to pull the stock one and drop in a Walboro. It took me half the morning to get the Supra fuel pump out! Its the difference I was whining about, it just doesn't need to be that involved.

The bell housing bolts.

crappy leather that doesnt last more than 70k miles on the driver seat or center console

Intake manifold and intake piping routed over the exhaust housing.

The water trap under the battery, for some reason they had to design it so all the water would flow straight towards the battery and stay in the little plastic base for it.

dropping a tank for a FP isnt uncommon, had to do it a couple weeks ago on a blazer, as long as we dont get the type of pumps that burn up when theres no gas the system seems ok.

To further increase the effectiveness of this exercise, after disassembly place all bolts into a large bucket and shake vigorously. Now attempt to reassemble the car. You will now become very familiar with every part of the car as you assemble and disassemble parts several times as you try to find the correct fastener. Enjoy:evil2:
