How did your shop go about this job that it took them 10 hours?
Some bushings are very difficult to press out, I've needed very large presses and have bent thick steel plates changing bushings. 10 hours does seem like a lot though.


On topic, the car needs to be a little more practical imo...

- visibility

- trunk opening

- rear seat access

- interior storage

- lack of cross traffic alert and blind spot monitors in a $45+k car?

- maybe just my lack of experience as my car has ~300 miles on it, but it's hard to place the front end of the car when pulling into parking spaces.


Also, 1SS interior is needlessly stripped down just to make 2SS seem like a good idea. Plastic knee pads and door panels, etc.

The Recaros have the parts to heat/cool but we can't get the controllers? WTF?

Sometimes the throttle seems weird, especially starting out in 1st gear.

The seatbelt flutters at higher speeds with the windows down.

HUD turns green with my polarized Oakleys.

10 Quarts of $10/qt oil needed for oil change. 10!

Seems like the car should come w/o AFM valvetrain and w/ a catch can system.

I have to wait HOW MANY miles before going over 4k rpm?!?!


Ok, that's all I have for now... I do love the car so far, it is awesome. My list of what I like would be MUCH longer.
