This is what I have been doing after brushing and scraping the windshield.
My biggest issue is that the washer fluid motor isn't working in the really cold weather. At first I thought that the motor might have failed, but I tested it on the last weather warm up and it worked fine. I figure...
This is what I love about the ITS! I think the gear spacing is great for zipping around. Highway cruising is not its strong point, but I think it is a fair trade off.
Any body shop would be able to paint your wheels, but it's also a DIY project you can tackle.
I've painted two sets in the past and obtained good results. One key is to finish the job with a 2K clear coat. There are plenty of videos on Youtube covering the topic. Here's a video with a lot of...
Exactly like Tw1stedlog1k
says, it seems like it takes +10 miles or a cycle or two after disconnecting your battery before the burbles return. But they'll be back..... ;)
I went old school with the Momo Anatomic shift knob. I've used this style Momo in several of my previous cars going way back and have never been disappointed. It's not heavy, but it works well in the ITS......
Similar, but different. The thermostat controls the coolant flow to the radiator. When the thermostat is closed, coolant is circulated around the engine's water jacket and bypasses the radiator, allowing the engine to reach operating temps more quickly. Once the engine is up to temp, the...
Seems odd since the blower is working and you're able direct the airflow. Perhaps it's s sensor that is preventing coolant flow through the heat exchanger. Thankfully it's a warranty repair, especially since it's not cracking 20 deg F in NJ today.
You probably tried it over the course of the...
Fitted my winter wheel/tire set-up today. I went with 18"x9.5 Enkei T6R's with 265/35 18"Conti DWS 06 Plus. I've used the DWS 06 in the past and really like them.
VEXINGV, Thanks for the write-up! It was helpful.
I did my initial oil change today at 1200mi. While doing an oil change is never rocket science, it's always nice to have a few pointers on what to expect.
I just lifted the front of the car, using the same Daytona low profile jack as you...
This thread just shows that there is no age number to enjoying a fun car. I'm 59 and have always bought fun/sporty cars and will continue to do so until they take away my keys ;).
Did the Alcantara steering wheel swap today. Pretty straight forward project after watching a youtube video. I don't know how the wheel will wear, but it was a pretty cheap mod so it was worth doing...
I feel like stock exhaust is almost perfect in Sport +. Not crazy loud but certainly a lot of character. I love the burbles and crackles, but could do without the bangs. I wonder if there's a way to code those out without getting rid of anything else.......
And I've modded just about every...
It does seem crazy that the car is equipped with all sorts of electronic nannies- Lane Keep, Auto Head Lights, Cross Traffic Monitor, TPMS, etc.... But it won't warn you if you're low on washer fluid. If I wasn't familiar with the car and someone told me this, I'd probably argue that they were...
Ha! I was surprised as well that there was no warning light.
I would have thought it would be a requirement and was checking the manual for where the warning light would be located..... Go figure :)
