It is cold on -28 days in the winter but driving gloves take care of that.
In the summer, it can be hot when you just get in the car until the air cuts in. Really not an issue even on hot Ottawa days after sitting in the middle of an open parking lot.
Touching the seat belt latch to the back of a bare arm in a T-shirt is much more painful.

Metal feels better than plastic to me but maybe that's just me.

Just means that you can't be sloppy and keep your hand on the shifter for too long.

I keep a little glasses cloth bag in my glove compartment (I'm an optician, so that makes sense lol)
And I whip it out on those hot days, it usually only lasts 5-10 minutes, then AC takes care of the hot knob.

Kinda like this:

to all the open flash tablet users what do you think of the quality and performance of the product?

jvincent · 03-01-2014, 08:00 PM

It's a great product.

I am fully stock with the exception of the OFT tune. There was a noticeable reduction in the torque dip even without any other changes.

Equally good is that the overall response is improved so that the car just drives better. Hard to quantify exactly but it's smoother and feels more natural if that makes sense.

It's hands down the best money spent for hp gains, and that was last season. With all the improvements over the winter I can't wait to see how the car works with the new updates. You won't be disappointed if you purchase it!

Also just installed the OFT header, sounds incredible, looks fantastic, and excellent quality!

I'll see what I can do. Tired of riding my nikes around anyway.

So I guess this means I can't show up to the coffee meets in my gf's Ford Focus F(amily) Edition eh?

As much fun as it is to slide around every corner in the winter, I can't wait for spring to take care of the shopping backlog.
