Ever sence I bought the thing I have been having toubles. I have only had 1 good memory about it almost 2 good memoys. The first good time is when I first got it started up and I was able to get it up to a high enought RPM and make it idle to take it for a drive around the block. The second almost good memory I had is when we were pulling it to my grandmas house I had to stay in the car and steer it. I was having such a good time steering the car and getting lots of attidion from everyone. I didn't realize that the door doesn't such tight and we went a round a sharp conor and the door flys open I almost fall out and the door miss's a car by 1/2 a feet. But for the past 2 weeks I have been having troubles trying to get the dang thing to run. I was filling pretty good about it tell the guy at auto zone told I should replace the ignition coil for good measures well that screwed me up big time cause now I can't figure out what the heck I burn't out and Im getting fed up with everything on the car being hard to replace and really expensive. Maybe I need to be a little older to have this car and get more auto repair experience behind me. I bought the car for $700 and I bet I can get $1500 out of it easy. I have put about $300 into already. And my parents are no help they just keep telling me I should of bought a car that runs I just don't see the fun in that but I guess there right.

Be patient and stick with it. Don't sell it unless you move to another country (I sold my Spitfire before moving to the US when I was 18). It's frustrating and will driv eyou crazy, but it's worth it in the end.

Follow the advice here, and try to be meticulous. The simplest problem can cause wierd problems.

Try and enjoy the frustrating times. The first time you take your mom on a twisty road and scare the sh!t out of her whilst maintaining complete control of your vehicle, you will look back, laugh, and hit a perfect apex on your next corner.
