My least favourite thing about my 2002

[OriginalOwner]

Ya know, it just doesn't seem to matter how much wax gets rubbed & scrubbed into the paint and on the chrome-y stuff, and how many gallons of ArmorAll gets soaked into all the rubber bits & pieces, those pesky front rims have steadfastly refused to learn the lesson of being helpful by being self-cleaning ........ 

 

 

 

Cheers,

 

Carl

That's a feature not a bug. It's how you know the caliper is working. 🙃

I fixed the seatbelts.

 

The least favourite thing about MINE is that it's a demanding bastard to actually run,

and to get enjoyment out of running it, I can't do much else.

The most favourite thing is that when I devote my life to it, it's spectacularly rewarding

to drive, and even on a bad day, I still crawl out of the cabin with a grin.

Least favorite thing: I can't bring myself to drive it in inclement weather, so it has to sit safe in the garage on those days. And then I MISS IT SO BAD!

Fueling it, done often (with thirsty dual side draft 45DCOEs) and requiring a filler adaptor (at least in CA with the vapor recovery gas pump nozzles).

The hidden surprises are no doubt my least favorite. But it sure is fun to cut out and replace!

I feel your pain. My front wheels would become covered with brake dust after just a few hour of driving. That is until I installed a set of Porterfield AP82 RS-4 brake pads. I have tii struts and brakes. They produce practically zero brake dust. Not to mention, they provide excellent braking and don't squeal. Here's a photo of my car after driving to and from the track and doing 50-60 laps that day.

tii Pads P/N AP82. Compound R4-S.
