It gets to -20 here. The corsa gets quiet in the cold and louder when it's warm. Odd. I expected the opposite

Tip: Be careful removing the seat bolts. Get the correct Torx socket. I would suggest carefully using a hand tool. (I stripped the last bolt using an air tool.) It was a PITA!

Cool. I bet those auto rev matched paddle downshifts sound great on that exhaust.

Interesting, what made you want to go from manual to auto in just a year?

Well, it wasnt so much an MT to AT issue. The car I went to get was an 860 6MT. There were no incetives on that model. While going back and forth about price and pay, I test drove the auto just for shits and giggles. I liked it. I couldnt pass up the deal the dealership offered on the auto with the Borla exhaust, the spoiler and the LED fogs. It also had the protection Plus pkg and cargo mat. Also got GAP and 5yr extended warranty. All for $27k. Guess its the right time of the year!.

Reason why I bought mine!

Installed rotors, pads, spacers, extended studs, and camber bolts today. Fun!!!

Tip: a ball joint separator works awesome for the stud removal and install. You don't even have to remove the hub!!!

It was dark when I finished. I'll get a better pic posted of the whole car in the daylight...

My grandma had a plastic covered couch and green shag.

I have rugs in my new carport. (Just moved to town, been living in the country all my life, so it's a big change)

Thanks! It was a great day to do it, instead of being 29 degrees, it was 50! My hands didn't freeze to my tools! Lol
