No LSD, stock radio blows goat nuts( it crackles really bad when I try turning it up and only 2 speakers work) and my steering wheel is ****ed to the right. Other than that I love my car!

The fact that I can't drive it because half the panels are off, power steering pump got crushed, and both fenders are bent in odd shapes (guess what happened).

my busted radiator filler neck (hopefully the repairs ive made will fix it)the fact that my headlights arent screwed into anything, just held in place, post accident, that my grill is still in my trunk and i gotta figure out a way to mount it, my subs take up 80% of the trunkcrappy mileage, not enought power, engine bay is dirty as all hell, the black smear some idiot put on the side of my rear bumper, my chipped and bartly busted front bumper

all those little things bug me when i think about em, but give me a highway, and none of it matter, at all, ever... unless it overheats

slight bent frame in front, busted and paintchipped front bumper, bent hood, exhaust rattles, something inside rattles, gas smell after u fill her up, headlights have to stay up all the time, no lsd, wippers only smear water, about half a dozen white door dings my mom put into the side of my car, glove box latch broke off, and more power is always a plus...

oh yeah, and one more thing, when my car has been sitting in the hot sun outside and u get in and its all really hot and u cant wait to get the windows, i get in and start going with my 2:40 (2 windows down, 40mph) a/c running, but the heat seems to stay trapped inside, maybe its just me tho, does that happen to anyone else wit a s13 hatch?

For what car...? There are plenty of performance parts for most nissans/infinitis, and there are more being developed as we speak.

Really wish my S13 had a working transmission in it.. workin on that one though. Can't say I mind much about the S14 though. Does need a new tie rod in the front and possibly a clutch slave cylinder, but nothing serious.

#2 injector is leaking (Not from the O-Ring or seals just had it replace) it is leaking where the metal and red part touch.My paint is starting to crackSo many door dings on the ring side of the car it look like it got shot by an M-16 or went to a war zone. But the Left has not even a ding.Can't find a good right side HL Motor.AND OF COURSE LOW MPG

i was thinkin about that, ive fond gauge clusters for like 65 bucks, and most speedo shops want 16o just for a diagnostic and said itd probably cost around 225 after all was said and done. But really, my odometer has been broken since november of 98 (previous owner) and really has like 11ok instead of 67k, and hte speedo would be nice but i dont relaly care that much, and i suppose hte trip would be good to see what kinda MPG i get, but other than that, i really dont care, ill get one eventually, was it hard to install? Also, i see EVERYONE complaining about MPG, i figured my 2.4 liter inline 4 with a lighter car and a 5spd would get better gas mileage than my 2.5 liter inline 4 with 4spd auto, but apparently it doesnt, im getting new VC gasket, front crank seal, all new belts, and new plugs/wires hoping this fixes that problem, or do the KA's just really get THAT bad of gas mileage?
