Seats collect lint better than any lint brush I've owned
Crickets moved in at 650 miles

Love my car, these quirks are annoying.

Definately agree with the clutch being too high.

Gets MUCH better with mileage.. I'm at 19,000 miles and it feels MILES better than it did when I first bought the car with 5 miles..

I'm at 20k haha. Still hard to get it right consistently. Also, this is in reference to red-line acceleration. Normal shifting is fine.

Weird.. Redline acceleration has always been easier than normal shifting when it was newer.

Is it because of a vapor recapture system on the pumps there (I know some of them are pretty huge)?

I've had my FRS just over 3 years and have never had to hold the gas nozzle in place... weird... wonder what the difference is.

strange... I hope it's not just my car. Even the sales guy had a hard time getting it to sit properly.

He asked me to drive him to the nearest gas station so he could fill up the car for me when I just bought my car, and he didnt know how to drive stick. He told me to just sit it the car and he'd do it. But of course me the way I am, I got out and watched him. He was having a hard time having it auto-fill so he did it by hand. Then all of the sudden I saw the tiniest drip of gasoline and I looked like this ---->

I basically yelled stahp and ran to grab towels to wipe it up before it got to my paint. THANK THE CAR GODS IT DIDN'T DRIP DOWN THE PAINT!

I'll never forget that.

Nightcrawler anyone? And just FYI I have never had that issue. Always auto fills without issue. Maybe it needs top tier gas? It's spitting it out cause the gas sucks?

Torque dip, it could have been engineered out by factory. DP

I hate how I can't double clutch an automatic

Slammedsteve · 07-29-2015, 04:29 AM

having 1 interior headliner light. My rsx had 3 of them. I wanted to replace one light with a bright blue or red led light but I can't since it will be impossible to see anything. Besides that, Everything else I love

Porcupint · 07-29-2015, 11:42 AM

Oh man some of these are great..

For those of you with the second gear issues, MTEC shifter springs and Motul are the way to go on that one. Even just the springs made a hell of a difference for me.

I hate the fact I have 3 sons and one has to go in the Trunk when we go out !!!!
