Default The little crap that annoys you, but nobody would notice unless you told them.

That's right, From simple exterior dings to something NOBODY would ever notice unless you told them about it. Post up what annoys you the most about your car, whatever it may be. Pics are an obvious bonus!

I'll get the ball rolling:

My right front fender has no lower mounting bolt in it, the nut broke off from the inside and fell into the rocker. It bugs me to this day, but you could never ever tell unless someone told you.



lines up perfect, but still annoys the hell out of me. My stock USDM cupholders also vibrate from 2500-3500rpm, annoys me constantly.

Also, I took my back seat out a few times and removed the center belt to make it look a bit cleaner, only when I took everything out I put the belt buckle labled "center" on the lefthand rear side of the car.

Nice thread..maybe we can get some helpful suggestions on how to fix some of these problems which I'm sure are more common than we all think. Oh snap son I forgot! This is honda-tech, so maybe I won't stick to this statement....

Something that annoys me on my car is loose kick panels, and I'm too damn lazy to fix em

I think about everything in my Del Sol rattles after my engine mounts.

Especially I've got the 15 inch L5 in the back kickin.

Also - I don't have the heart to fix my bumper - considering it would be hanging if I didn't have a twistie tie on there.

OP: I know exactly what you mean...
Every little flaw I see on my car that I don't like just annoys the **** out of me... and I have an endless list of **** that I want fixed on my car LOL. When I think about it, I don't want to fix those flaws, I just want a different shell.
I guess you can call me a perfectionist if you want

Yeah, that doesn't bother me that much though. I can pop that out with my hammer+dollies, plan on repainting the car eventually anyway. Car has a few dings/dents.

lots of little rattles all over the place and parking lot dings.

My f1spec seat is twisted to the left, that seriously bugs the living crap out of me. (what did I expect though for the $$$)

Oh the biggest one. I swapped my complete wiring harness from the '00 DX to an '00 SI harness in the engine bay and under the dash etc. However the SI has no rear wiper so after I had put the car back together I found this little hassle and ended up running some of my own wiring to the back of the car. It bugs me so much that that one wire is not in the loom with the rest of them.

1) My short shifter rattles a little (soon will be fixed with new bushings)
2) Steering column is tilted to the side. The car is inline...the steering WHEEL is straight and I have NO idea how to fix it. I've removed the dash panel/gauge cluster/column cover all at one time and cannot see how to twist it back...any suggestions?



See how where the gray column meets the gauge plastic it's seperated? That's not because I have it the tilt wheel moved...the actual column is shifted.
