I talked to the dealer today, and he is fixing the ignition problem. He said he never used the manual, in this car or his acura, that it was easier on the tranny. I plan on going to a back road, turning of the traction control, and doing a burnout, followed by high rpm shifts. As far as the stero, I have always had some kind of system. I have had the same subs for 12 years(hollywood with green foam). I realize that the cabin is pretty small, so I don't plan on too much. Do 10's, or 12's work better? are there any specific questions I should ask about the vehicle? thanks, chris
