    Turd Gen

    It's been a while since I posted some pictures so I thought I would amuse you guys.






    I found a friend under the carpet:

    See, I don't know why you could hate third-gens driving that thing around. Pretty swank ride.

    86-IROC-Z, How long have you had the 3rd Gen, how many miles were on it when you got it and how many are on it now? Has the car really been that bad?

    I have a friend who bought an 86 Iroc A4 with 40,000 miles on it, he put around 120,000 on it as a daily driver and the only trouble he had was to replace the intake gasket. He only drives the car on weekends now, but the car still looks good and runs great. If he were to ever sell the car I would love to have it. Thanks, Jimmy

    Besides the pushrods I only had to change the timing chain/sprocket.

    The timing sprocket had worn down so badly that the chain just slipped around it. When it happened the engine instantly shut off, and thankfully no internals go fucked up, it only bent the pushrods (as you can see in the first picture )

    I've had the third gen for almost three years now. When I bought it, it had about 188,000 miles on it, and it currently has about 224,000 miles.

    I don't deny that there are some very nice thirdgens out there, however, mine has been used and abused, so to say. I'll make it easy to read:

    Symptoms:
    • Transmission is on its way out
    • Leaks trans. fluid
    • Leaks oil
    • Burns oil
    • The wiring harness is held together with electrical tape, and probably some gum.
    • If its more than 80 F outside, and you're moving slower than 45mph, you have about 10-15min before it overheats and triggers an automatic ignition cutoff.
    • The subframe section near the firewall, passenger side, is rusted so badly that you can't jack it there (the jack point is long gone) and I was told if I got into a head on collision my passenger would be seriously injured, if not killed.
    • The cat diameter is about 70% the diameter of the exhaust, stupid fucks.
    • The shitty wiring harness has resulted in destroying 6 alternators during the time I've owned the car.
    • Probably more stuff I can't think of


    Thats why

    Yep. So I guess girls will still like it until the rust eats through to the paint.

    Girls love it... mechanics* run away from it...



    *Also, anyone who knows anything about cars. So I guess it should be "girls.../... everyone else"

    I would love to park mine in the front yard, but my dad would make me pay the HOA fines

    Maybe I'll do it for a few minutes, just to take a picture for you guys

    Put one side up on blocks, remove one of the tops, have the hatch popped a little bit(as if the damn motors ever worked anyways), have some weeds coming through the wheel wells. COTM.
