Next week (: free. Stoked. I'm really glad I bought a warranty now.. 7 years 100k miles is a long time. Thanks in advance |
Hey that happened to me too. Insurance paid for everything
|
Looking nice! But what is with this chatter you're talking about here? a sound it makes or are you referring just to the vibration? My car sounds like any other manual car in reverse. it has that whine. The problem is something more than just the whine right?
|
Mine would shutter, rumble, vibrate. Dealership replaced entire clutch and manual assembly warranties. Drives great now. ^.^
|
What heated seats (kit?) did you get. I would really like that some day.
|
I actually had them done at a shop for 400 because they had the hottest seat Warmers I've ever felt. Carbon fiber is all I know. Full bottom and entire back of chair is heated as opposed to the small partial kits I saw online that heat only a little of each. Sorry I don't know.
Carbon fiber is the way to go though. |
Killer F'n Fog Lights!!

I have a loudish whine, but I think thats normal. I dont have a crazy vibration or anything. I dont want the dealer taking my car apart anyway. |
maybe its because we aren't releasing the clutch all the way? I haven't had to do that for most of the times i go in reverse. if you release it all the way in reverse, I'd imagine you would have to be giving it quite a bit of gas to avoid stalling or other issues. Just a guess on my part though because I don't feel like trying that.

I had another issue with car, the rear latch was making/creaking/every flex of car. Took it back, the latch (actual metal assembally inside the car) rubbed off its coating in only 4k miles. They replaced it all and put a order in or something to be reviewed for all cars. Foreman said its by bad design and if they dont fix the issue through a world order or whatever it was called that the dealership would take care of it as long as i owned the car.
My passenger clazzio in the upper portion of seat you can see the threading pulling apart at the seam spot. ): man, im upset, means i'll have to pull it off and have it restiched. but its nothing major, still its kind of annoyinig So yeah, anyone else noticed it? Will post pics of the stitching later |
Like it. A lot.
|
Update- This last tank weather has been in 40s-50s and the odometer is saying 26-27mpg and im at like 220 @ 3/4 of tank.
When I'd already be on empty. I'm quite happy if this turns out to be true when I have to refill. ____ |
My car just hit 14k still running well, about to drive from Alaska to Ohio, but taking a ferry part of the way.
Sucks it decided to snow heavily a few days before I venture on my drive... This was just in last 24 hours. ____ |
looking nice! i recently hit 14K too. there is a snowstorm going on in my area right now. car plows through just fine. had a rough time up my driveway, it's up a small hill. traction control got me up there though.
