I have had the same bulbs in since May of 2002! I figured they would go after I removed them when I put my haloz in, but they are still going strong. Kind of making me mad though, I need a reason to buy some new ones.

Really? I am at 120,000km(aproximatly 77,671.4miles) and nothing wrong with her so far mechanically.. I think though I should got for the 'regularly tune up'.. Only major problem I have ever had was the missfire of #4, and the Lug tread on the Front Driverside, is going so i have to get that replaced.

I wish I had ABS... my brakes have locked up sooo many times, even a couple times on dry roads. It's been the cause of 2 of my accidents, didn't have enough time to un-lock brakes. I even had 2 other people drive it, and they noticed that it was very easy to lock them up. I've even had the rotors and pads changed since then and it still does it.

-Vibration sucks... comes from my rear view mirror....
-I like the cup holder, but can't use them if CD player is flipped down (buttons visible).
-haven't had problems with door panels breaking...
-wish there was a light mounted under the hood
-wish the trunk was easier to close... it hasn't closed all the way a few times and caused a dead battery.
-headlight bulbs burned out very frequently... got in an accident and got new bulbs and they lasted forever. Swapped out my headlights for halo headlights and still have the bulbs that came with those and they work fine... so 2 of the 3 headlight housings I've had have lasted for a long time.
-I wish it was easier to run wires through the firewall :-/ my hole is entirely taken up and I need to make it bigger for more wires

actually, with those 3-Lazer LEDs.. i am trying to work that out..

[basic plan]
1. Mount LED (or idea.gif ) in area best suited..
2. insert a switch to a area closest to the hood latch (weight of hoodd should keep switch turned off)
3. Run wiring to a power source, with a fuse in there somewhere..

Please.. please.. keeep in mind.. it is 4:20am (insert comment here).. and haave been up since like 8am previous morning..

ok now for some of my griping
    [*]cracked door handles[*]cracked little things in the door that hold papers (too small to hold ****, i keep a small knife in there (lol for downtown chicago driving))[*]rear view mirror shakes at like 90dB (the outside mirrors arnt that bad though)[*]the fact that our windows fog up when its cold is a partialy good thing, it shows that our cars keep in heat well (for better or worse)[*]i need to keep my ashtray left open ALWAYS so i can have power to my antiradar[*]i like the way the ashtray and the cup holders open and close but i just wish they were abit more agronamical[*]i havent had any problems with the headlights EVER, i had them since 2000, and recently changed them to Xenon bulbs last year, still no problems, and i turn them on and off and flash them all the time.[*]i can never tell when the rear window defrost is on because in the light the little green bulb thingy never is visible in the RD2's[*]the FVCKING MIRROR in the passenger side visor is broken, anyone got a spare? or are the RD1's the same?[*]the little black things in the door handles keep falling out, i went to a junkyard and got about 20 of them from an old elantra and just keep putting them in there every few months.[*]the steering wheel sometimes starts shaking violently at the lights when im not holding it[*]theres a little clicking sound when the winshield whipers are timed and everytime they move or stop they make a click.[/list]Edit
      [*]also the fact that the fuse box (inside)always gets kicked by my foot[*]the fact that the fuses when they fall on the inside box they go to a place where they are unretriavable (like today lol)[*]the little white thing for pulling the fuses out is constintly falling out[/list]
