Only thing I don't like is how light the steering wheel feels with them on, but that was to be expected anyway. It sure made me appreciate those Prius tires in the dry conditions lol.

Exactly. It's mainly the steering feel (especially on the highway) that makes the car feel not extremely stable...very floaty.

"Squirmy" is the word that comes to mind when I think of my snow tires.

Yeah, ideally I'd like two seats, but it's just not practical, especially with Zeta 2's, as it would greatly limit my passenger weight limit to just about 140 or less.

I mean.. I guess that could be a good thing..

Decided to "strip" my rear interior, since most of it wasn't necessary to me, and no one sits in my back seats anyway. Everything came off with either a couple bolts, or were held on by plastic push clips.

Isn't stripping out that much weight from the rear going to make your car even more front heavy?

Yeahhhh.. Ideally I'd like to get a lighter battery, and figure out more ways to lighten up the front end.. But that will have to wait till next year..

I bet that is loud as hell!

I did the same strip last weekend and put dynamat in to quiet things down. I ended up putting everything back and putting an old moving blanket in the spare tire spot.

I'm sure you could relocate your battery to the rear if you wanted to, I'm thinking that would help with the weight distribution

First engine and transmission oil change after passing break-in (1,150 miles). Shifts really nice now and engine sounds great. It cost $150.00 total. Initially I was quoted $189.00 for the tranny fluid and after questioning the cost, turns out that the advisor had put in auto trans and not manual which is $89.00 for transmission fluid change.

Don't they still offer three free crankcase oil changes?

$150 sounds like a lot for an engine and transmission oil change.

Well, lets hope the tech got the word about NOT putting AT fluid in your MT transmission ....

Free oil change is at 7,500 miles intervals per the dealer up to 2 years. I made sure they had the correct trans fluid listed on the service order, but what actually was used I am hoping was the correct one.
