This weekend somebody asked me "why red on the seats?" and I responded "what are you talking about? What red?". I am so used to it I forgot it was there.

It was a play on my earlier comment that I had forgot there was red in the seats (I really had). I know what the trim looks like. I spend a minimum of 14 hours a week in my car and everything has become so familiar that I really don't even notice any of it anymore.

I have the RSRs as well and although they are nominally rated at 1.2" in the front and 1.4" in the rear when measured against 3 different cars on stock springs I found it was more like 1.7" in the front and just shy of 2" in the rear. Only about 1/2 an inch difference from the stated number but that can make a difference.
I love them though as they give the best of all worlds for my needs.

Yeah they are great spring rate with just the right amount of drop I was going to go with there coilovers but they are to rough and pricey for a bumpy road lol

I used to feel pretty mehh about the front fascia,

Now I really like it because it really looks like a happy car and thus makes it look like a very fun car.

The radio.....
No....actually I still hate it...pos...

shifter907 · 10-05-2015, 03:39 PM

I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet, but the fact that the speed limit for cruise control is 90mph.
On long trips where I'm trying to cut time, sometimes I feel like it would be nice to have it go higher, but the rational side of me is glad it's limited to 90.

I have been meaning to check this out but always forget as I'm too busy convincing myself that I do like the poxy standard radio..

It is fact. If not mistaken it even says so in the owners manual.

Fact that the radio is poxy or that the cruise control stops controlling after 90mph?
