Smelled my clutch for the first time the other day,
Was visiting the gf in st. Catherine's and found a NIGHTMARE of a hill for any manual driver.
Very steep with a 4 way stop at the top... So stop and go multiple times. Had cars on both sides of me and had to use the e brake method for the first time, worked well but I held the brake to long when ****head sunfire was on my ass. Oh well, all is good.

Adjusted clutch pedal height so it is now even with the brake pedal. Much easier to drive smoothly. At first, I had it slightly lower and it just felt like it would engage as soon as I even thought about lifting my foot.

I ordered some WS70's with Focal F9 rims from Tire Rack (couldn't stand to have steels on it for 5 months of the year) and they called me and told me that their techs found factory defects on 2 of the rims. One had horrible bumps and drips from overspray and the other had a chip in one of the spokes. The guy ordered 4 additional ones to make sure they get 4 that are in proper condition. He said they would overnight them to get them to me on the original order schedule.

Taking about customer service, it is quite refreshing. I think I will order from them again.

Swapped out the OEM spoiler for a Carsmo spoiler.

Dropped the OEM spoiler screw into the trunk lid during the process, couldn't fish it out with a magnetic pole. Any ideas on how to get it out? It rattles when I drink, and I need to solve it!

So, your thoughts (and anyone else more knowledgeable about this), stock height/suspension you think I can fit 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear without any camber?

I cant lower my car because I live on a hill and I only have 1in clearance as it is with no one else in the car. But I want 18-19in rims so badly!

they'll fit no problem, but they'll poke out a bit in the front and rear without camber.
