Re: Winter refresh to-do list 2013
I'd LIKE to get:
Factory wheels refinished
New exhaust (literally just one click away from purchasing, but so indecisive)
Coilovers
Pretty sure only 1 of those three things will happen in the next 6 months haha

Does anyone have expireance with suede steering wheels? I've always been on the fence about them, but I would think they would just ware out quickly. I want to get this personal wheel, but don't want to shell out the cash if it'll look like poop in a few months

IMHO they only make sense if you're going to drive around with nomex gloves and have a steering rack that only goes ~270 degrees.
And yeah if you don't wear gloves the alcantara wheels get messed up quickly.

-dealership screwed up my order, so still waiting on rear pads I ordered 3 weeks ago, rotors are in
-diff and trans fluid will be changed this weekend if it's not balls cold

Got this installed last night. Band clamps are good for adjustments but fucccckkkk it was difficult getting the driver's tip to stay in place.
