Let's see... This poll sucks. I have more than one problem.
Bad gas mileage ~12mpg shifting at 3,000rpms
No power after 6,500rpms (5th/6th ports and VDI not working maybe)
Bad idle
Both front fenders are dented (I have replacements but they need to be painted)
Interior needs to be cleaned up and have this and that replaced
Exhaust leak
Hopefully all this will be taken care of this winter.

Cosmetic is one of my problems, my largest one, too. However, a close second is my oil leak. Third is the flooding, thank goodness I've got a fuel cut switch. More cosmetic work. Umm... Having some drivetrain issues, too, I think.

My body is straight but needs a new paintjob. My interior is clean as hell. I have the engine ready to go in, but I am waiting for my SS Oil Lines and Mazdaspeed Engine Mounts

The soon to be replaced list:
Plugs and wires
Every Fuel line is spoongy as hell
2nd gear Syncro is shot, so probably replace the entire tranny.
Cut springs for "Kewl Lowering action" on OEM struts and shocks... be replacing all of that real soon wiht new Eibach springs (probably raise it about .5 inches) and KYB adjustable gas all around.
Exhaust sound annoys me, so I'll be replacing it soon as well.
After that:
Need a turbo timer, sitting in it for 5 minutes after hard driving is responsible... but dull.
pop out the minor hail damage and door dings.
Replace the sunroof with kewl glass one.
Then probably start looking toward performance upgrades.
Thanksfully my mechanic and I have an arangment

Electrical - Interior lights haven't worked since the car got broken into
Fuel - Might actually be TPS/electrical related... hates idling and hunts all over the place til it settles on a rpm it likes

Lets see:
bad coolant seal
bad torque convertor(yes it's an auto...looking to get a manual)
bad idle(Timing seems to be way off, yet, no one seems ot have a damn timing gun to actually time mines right)
Little cosmetic damage(BMW muffler print in my front bumper, paint chippage/warpage)
Some other eletrical stuff. And no heat or AC.

I'm having problems with a rough transmission that knocks especially when lifting the clutch off on startup. I thought I got rid of that when I replaced the master and slave cylinder, but I guess not.
Also, cosmetically, my car was broken into and the center console destroyed when the person removed the cd player

Electrical - wiper delay is dead
Also my master cylinder is leaking AGAIN, time for another replacement
