Argghh I am just venting because it seems like s*** is always breaking on my car. LOL.



Driving to work a few weeks ago i hit a smll block of wod an put a bubble in my front tire. Last week i was driving home and notice my rear drivers tire was very low.turns out it had 2 nails in it. 1 was in the sidewall :(


Also i had noticed my was overheating. So i checked, very low on coolant. So i purchased some and filed it up, no overheating, no biggie.

A few days ago it started overheating again. I knew something was wrong. ad to have a leak in the line somewhere.

Well i got 4 new FALKEN tires ($300) and had them mounted, balanced and got an alignment today. ($150). They said m car smelled like coolant so the pressure tested it and said i had a nice size leak in the radiator itself. I was like s***! So a new rad and install will be $280. Sucks.

So in the past4 days i wil have spent $780 on s*** that pisses me off and doesnt make my car any faster...lol. Ehh just ranting while I am at work
 
Damn that sucks.... I'm guessing you started your new job already? Are you going with a stock radiator or going all out and getting a full size radiator from a regular protege and go with a FMIC.
 
Bad Luck and MSP go together like Salt and Pepper, Pamela Anderson and Silicon, and Fat Kids and Cake.

I don't feel confident enough to drive my car anywhere. Its always breaking down.
 
Mazda + Turbo = always broken. It's always been like that and always will be. It's very depressing, because they are generally very fun cars to drive.
 
Yea it def sucks. After i got the new tires i drove home and the idiots never screwed on the lugs so i went 10miles with a loose back wheel. Talk about scary. I have just been having bad luck lately with the MSP...lol
 
i had toreplace my radiator the other day cause i had the same overheating problem.
 
Try folding down one of the front seats all the way and doing it sideways across the front and rear seat ... worked pretty well last time ... just my white ass was in the air for all to see. Who cares ... it was worth it.

my warranty is up in 96 more miles and I am scared as hell. I want to sell this car so bad because you guys are always scaring me. I dont want to mod the car knowing that its going to fall apart.
