There is this freakish whine comming from the mirrors, also around 130.
answer: this is normal...its the air blowing through the mirrors...get the Aero mirrors to fix this problem.
Even though I have aftermarket suspension, handling over 130 is very "floaty" and that makes it a little scary.
answer: a body kit will help this....it is caused from a cushion of air getting trapped under the car at high speeds and acts like a pillow, thats why racecars usually have some sort of body kit or front airdam.
Why is the second cup holder so weak? answer: I dunno, but I wish it had one more in there too.
Anyone elses extended arm rest clip come off? answer: nope haven't had that problem yet.
I find the rubber floor mat under the driver doesn't last a year, but of course you need to order all 4 for around $50. answer: I dunno about this either...I've had mine since I got the car in 03 and they are still in pretty good shape.
Does the car come with RE-92's so you can experiance drifting?answer: yes

Seriously if your having problems with your armrest, get some small plastic concrete or drywall anchors and stuff them in the hole and then screw it together. Mine was all F'd up nad I took it apart. There was a little piece of zip tie in each hole. WTF???

Wait, what are you talking about??? My grill? You don't like my black grills? and What is this about a GMIC? I happen to have a CNC machined Hyperflow....just not on the car at the moment.
wooohooo, my car started up for the first time in almost a month - sounds like a WRX with piston slap!

A) yes, my armrest extensin clip thingy broke
B) the second cup holder has no lower support
C) WHY THE **** ARE YOU GOING 95-120 MPH IN WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT REQUIRE WINDSHIELD WIPERS???
