I need to do some major work on the hatch. Water bubbles under the paint and the huge holes need to go.

It looks nice like that. I like the cobalt blue. The spoiler removal makes the car look good.


But it leaves me pondering a series of questions... Can you drive it like that? And, if you drive it like that, would you be Driving your tib naked? Should I feel threatened? is there room for more then one DTN on this site? Will this confuse other members? What's up with the single red bolt on your thermostat/

looks nice... I'm surprised how nice. I think I'll still keep my spoiler though. I like the location for the mbc.

2 questions.
1. whats that white box for?
2. How hard is it to steer without power steering and would you recommend it?

i've had no PS for over a year and i LOVE IT. it sucks sometims when i'm parking because i have to turn the wheel alot more. but it makes you a better parker because you learn to do it in 2 motions so you dont work for the parking spot. its once your moving that you notice how much more responsive the wheel is and also how much more of the road you can feel through the wheel now.


sean when are you gonna take me for a ride in that thing. i gotta miss out on the meet coming up cause i'm broke but i'll be out for the next one.

No power steering is really nice. But only if you remove it completely from what Ive heard. Mine is completely gone and I love it.

i'd say in the long run the PS is worth it. it's not as responsive as without it, but when you're crawling through the parking lots or driveways it can become a pain in the butt.
