Whose still driving their car in this up and down weather? Anyone got any issues with their car window not rolling up like these guys? http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23159
Also, some feedback would be nice on how reliable the car is for our winter from those who are still driving it.

1. Put the window all the way down (must use the control on that door) 2. After the window is all the way down continue to hold the switch for about 3 seconds. 3. Put the window back up. As for winter reliability I've been pretty happy with it. Snow tires are a must, and it does get stuck in deep snow. Other then that as long as you keep in mind that its RWD and know how that effects the handling its great. I was having some fun doing some short drifts in wide open areas today.

I was thinking about it Tein Flex coilovers, but honestly I'm pretty happy with the stock suspension. I'd like to see how it feels so if you if you get some I want a ride.

Sure thing. Dave-ROR mentioned that they come with 5F/6F springs, but you can swap them for stiffer Eibach ERS springs if those aren't stiff enough.

Yup, still driving, summer shoes; like, alone on a storm tossed sea in a ski boat at high speed, you know.

Oh yeah Orb! That's how @avusblue does it. Funny thing is, the wheels look natural on the car.

Maybe, but headed to California looking to buy another sailboat, so the E85 waits. |

New view
Check my location! I'm staying at the Lodge, Coronado Special Warfare Center - going to survey the boat on Wednesday.
Damn - there's an FR-S on every street in SDO, and boy, they are craaazy drivers! This is a view of the lodging, and the view from my room. Last edited by ToxicSneakers; 02-07-2013 at 12:13 AM. |
