Nice, you used RO-type seat rails too? How's the seat height on your Recaro SR5 working out for you?

The seat hight is working out fine. It feels like I might site a bit lower but looking at the two seats its hard to tell if the seat is lower.

The good news is that there aren't any sub-systems relying on the airbag signal in the GD (unlike the GE) So you can take the cluster apart and put electric tape over the LED for the airbag warning. It is the same process many, myself included, used to get around the TPMS light thing. That will get you through the inspection headaches Vinnymac. And it will soothe your frayed nerves MN (or keep the significant other off your back whichever) The saet looks really good either way, I appreciate the info about the rails, I'm 6'00" so I may need another option for the RSX seat idea I'm playing with.

I had the rubber in the windshield wipers changed out and it rained yesterday. My wipers no longer are farting! I miss that! Not!

Changed the oil, reinstalled mugen grill (and added protective plastic mesh), tried fixing bumper (it was cracked, i will do a diy if it works out!) left it to the body shop to fix the bump my mom made when backing into my car...

now i'm stuck with a '97 chevy lumina... it corners like a humongous 4-door sedan... wait, it is a humongous 4-door sedan!!! first time i filled it up i tought i was going to cry... not too shabby after all, it was filled after only 40 liters

I wonder if that stuff would work on my dog? He doesn't have wipers but sure does fart a lot, or at least that's what my wife says whenever we eat chili and beans......Hmmm, I wonder...

I am thinking that it is my wife that might need the RainX .... It is strange that the dog starts farting whenever I make chili, carne asarda, beef and frijole burritos etc. the dog doesn't get any of the good stuff but gets blamed.... When I make menudo he does fart because it is just he and I that eats it, my wife thinks eating cow tripe is disgusting.

Hey ya'll I charged my battery last night and I noticed: a faster cold start up, I know it's prob. all co-incedence but better throttle responce. The factory bat. is 2.5 < yrs. old, man does this battery have a short life! The battery in my Charger was 10 years old + and I it's hard to belive this one is going away in less than 3?
On another note I was wondering if a solar trickle charger would help the charging system starting out with full 14v charge? It's a 20.00 mod @ lowe's or harbor freight 1.5w 12v has anyone used one of these and what's your exp. w/ them?
