as01 looks like this. you can center the steering wheel so that it is perfectly straight (noon) at the top.
some hubs makes your steering slightly cocked due to the spline not being aligned correctly.

 

So, you have spacers as well then? I thought you only had the boss kit on alone.

I was thinking the same as you as in having the boss kit, BS-30 and a AS-01 to get an 40mm additional stack as well. The AS-01 is there to serve dual purpose of helping to center the steering wheel and give an additional 10mm as the longer daikei spacers above 30mm is already discontinued.

By my calculations, that will very likely give maybe an additional 10mm of additional reach compared to the stock steering. The momo grips are a little thinner which might actually make it more or less then same. But i haven't really measure those yet.

 

there was a 20 or 30 spacer between the boss and as01, then the momo

 

so ive been reading up on the 2015's and havent seen much of a complaint on reliability. has honda fixed the quirks? especially the stupid ones like doors not lining up to the frame, etc. i read about on the '14s..

i checked out the impreza hatch again and while it might be made in japan, i dont like the car. hahaha

 

i guess kinda tuff to judge 'reliability' on a 14 and 15 since they're too new.

im looking for any major quality issues..

 

So far from what I'm seeing, quality isn't too bad. Just panel fitment and occasional oddities with CVT and the touch screen head unit on the EX and up.

 

thanks hootie. huh, my wife cant drive MT so it will have to be CVT... and this one i'd like to get the nav unit. will need to see wats wrong with the touch screen then, huh?

 

oh yah, i noticed the other day that my tanabe medalion axleback on my '12 is rusted... at the tip too.

 

reminds me of a game we used to play, "just the tip"

 

10char

 

ok.... so since nov ive not washed either of the GE's. the white one is brown and my silver one is white. lol haha

 

Wife said she pumped 9.7gallons today...

 

The CVT is actually quite good, especially in the EX trim level with paddle shifters.

The touch screen works fine, the complaint for some people has been the lack of hard volume knob, however, the volume is easily adjusted using the steering wheel control.

The NAV is overpriced in my opinion for $1K and it also requires more $ for updates.

 

thanks for the info. im leaning quite heavily towards the GK as my wife's next car.

but to be honest though, one of the key reasons why we bought these cars were because they were made in japan. ive had a lot of bad luck with non-japan made honda's in the past. like that civic i use to have... a week in for warranty repairs with less than 500miles.

and one of my first civics i had which completely died while driving. bought new too..

not to forget the other american made hondas with misc issues..

 

my 08 had zero issues over the 5yrs ownership
my 09 had the blower problem fixed under warranty. no other issues over 7yrs.
my 12 has zero issues so far.. well besides the stupid dynamic stability control program ive not gone in for the recall. lol

 

alright, the brown fit is now white (lol..) thanks to autowash by wife. swapped the snows to stockers. letting them dry in the garage now so that i can move them to my basement storage tomorrow.

will natural wash the '12 maybe on friday... lol

 

damn u already switched out ur snow tires? i'm thinking ill do mine around april. night time temps are still in the 30s. i did get my new wheel spacers, so my SSRs would sit flush at the rears now.

 

nice on the spacers!

yah, im getting ready to sell the GE so kinda wanted to get this step done.
also to make room in my garage so that i can start working on my hobby cars. the 09's wheels were in there.

 

sell? let me know when u want me to change ur thread title from GD to GE to GK

 

u got it!
