Second inspection since the cats were installed. NY does an OBDC check, and a visual inspection. They don't sniff here.

Over the last four years, I've befriended their Senior Technician, and I swear the shop looks forward to the few times they see my car. I've been told it's the only 6MT Sedan they have on active file, and the mechanics get a kick out of the mods. I will admit to some pride watching technicians look up when they hear my car, and gravitate over to it for a few minutes of gawking.

Some days, it's the little things. You know?

Anyway, their professionalism and customer service is truly excellent.

Thanks, Guys... I hope so too! Seats should be here by the end of April, so I should know for sure how the seat heaters will work shortly after that.

My Passenger's seat has done this almost from day one. The dealer never was able to figure out what the cause was, so I have just learned to live with it... thankfully I am hardly ever in the passenger's seat, so it doesn't really bother me that much.


I will be installing new seats in the car towards the end of April, so I will post up if I find anything that seems obvious when I'm removing the OEM passenger's seat.

No... I need to get a rear cam. The front cam is a zbox camera. I'm gonna move this one to the rear and get a new (better) one for the front.

Does anyone else have a problem where their nav display won't display your phone's battery status and other information over Bluetooth? Don't know why it's so inconsistent.

You need to have the navigation package for that.

If anyone is looking for low mileage (18-20K) OEM exhaust, suspension, or transmission parts, I just posted up in private classifieds my stock exhaust manifolds, cats, sways, camber arms, shifter, shifter springs, clutch return spring, and transmission mount. Thought I would give you sedan guys a heads up since they all came off my sedan.

Just ordered a 2007 wrx sti front splitter. Im amazed at how good it looks on a non sport sedan like mine. Fraction of the cost of something similar made for the G. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281265652787?item=281265652787&viewitem=&vxp=mtr

Check out the fitment:
