What bugs you about your car that no one else notices?

[rThor432]

My E30 doesnt have little rattles and things that irritate me, that is my E46's job.

[BeirBrennerE30]

lets see:

The rattle from the uuc light flywheel
the excess amount of chrome on the car
the rattle from the alpine radio(why do all alpine radios rattle? im on my third and they all have the same faceplate rattle)
the disaster of wiring under the dash from trying to have someone else try to install my alarm(reason for not ever having soemone else work on your car)
My shitty exhaust from Dent Sport Garage... I paid a butt load of money for a complete custom 3" stainless exhaust and they did the shittiest job of all time... ive only had it for 5 months and it needs replacing already

The dumbass PO was a tailgater and there isn't 1 square inch without chips on the front and front of hood. Passenger side interior door moulding doesn't seem to be long enough to stay in place all the way around. Valve train noise and wacky idle. Antenna mast doesn't always go all the way down. New parking brake shoes still making noise after the 3rd or 4th adjustment!

Things that don't bother me, but bother other people? Oh man, that's a whole new thread right there. :p Although I'm so damn anal, I think everything bothers me.

Valve adjustment: Free fitty

For real, if you can't adjust your own valves, what is this world coming to?

[Beauxsxm]

Things that bother me that others don't notice...
1. The engine
2. the transmission
3. the crappy paint job that is pitting and has bubbles (poor prep)
4. the interior
5. the stereo

Things I like that others don't notice...
One of only 2 E30 verts I've seen in town

Well actually I just hadn't gotten around to it. If you knew all the work I've put into it in the past couple months you'd understand.

But...!!!! I did adjust them today, and it seemed to solve the idle problem. Although that could have been the fact that when finished, I properly torqued the valve cover. :P Anyhoo, it has a lot more umf and idles great, but it still sounds like a killer sewing machine.

My motor is so loud that nobody ever notices anything else wrong with my car.

[McGyver]

PO replaced the left rear tail light with one that is slightly darker than the left one. also, the trunk that i put on it wont align properly.
