Got an alignment but the guy said I needed new struts. OK so he said he'll the best he can since I knocked my alignment out of whack. Now my passenger side rear wheel is perfectly straight. While the other 3 have a slight negative camber to them. Now which is right the 1 straight tire or the other 3. My car isn't even dropped yet.

ok...
-Engine bay is really dirty
-Burns and leaks oil
-Does not turn on when its cold(does not crank over, have a new starter, weird)
-leaks antifreeze(only a little but still)
-bad tires
-rear passenger tire deflates
-Fender is dented, cracked, warped, everything that can happen to the body plus its painted orange (My car is red)
-broken left turn signal
-font lip is trashed
-Small dings and dents on hood, quarter pannels, and fenders
-Spoiler is VERY faded
-Shakes when I go 50 and 60( any suggestions? Maybe bad rims?)
-Exhaust has a leak and rattles like a biatch
-bad gas mileage
-steering makes wierd noise when I turn.
-Idles weird
-little rust
-smokes when cold and when I floor it( big POOOF embarasing)
-Ripped seats
-No floor mats so every square inch of the carpet is stained
-Random missing interior pieces
-Cracked dash and door panels
-leaky trunk, wheel well full of h2o
-smelly because of the water plus I found a DEAD RAT in the trunk(:shiver
-Passenger lock hard to open

..And finally...
-No lock for the hatch, I took it out because it had a broken key inside, still doesn't work. Does the trunk have a diff. key? ( and no that is not where the water leaks it leaked before I took it out)

Im sure theres a lot more i have not found yet but i LOVE my car.

Problems...

-Negative Camber on all 4 tires.
-Needs new tires due to that ^
-Nice big dent in drivers side door.
-Tranny has a high pictched howling sound in 2nd and 3rd gear.
-A/C doesn't work.. was never used either as far as I know.
-Doesn't have a rebuild/turbo kit.
-Pulls to the right and vibrates at 25mph even after an alignment. (tires?)
-Left front shock is blown (I think)

Yeah, I think that's it... It runs perfect, and only has 100k miles.

Bent Rim? Or tires. Or both. When I got my FNO1R-Cs my car stopped shaking. Have you balanced the tires?
