  1. 1.5t vs 2.0 engine

    This seemed to take a dump with the debate over mpg. in my 2.0 6 speed on a 400 mile freeway cruise from sacramento to la, i got 46 mpg. i lost 1 mpg on a 113 mpg run for about 5 min. lost another 1mpg flying up the grapevine. set cruise to 75 in the 70 zones. when i hear about crappy milage...

  6. How often do you plan on changing your oil?

  9. Anyone measured the frequency output of a non-Touring headunit yet?

    i think i was just told what i dont want to hear. and that is the head unit filters the bass out, or at least the bass i want to hear. a 1980's kenwood home receiver did this to me also, and it took me 20 years to find out, i just thought my ears had gone. i have the lx and its not a bad stereo...
  10. Guys i need some HELP Black VS Steel EXL

    maybe i should have put it I like black so much that to ME even though mine is filthy dirty, to Me it still looks better than any other color out there clean or otherwise. yes i would have gotten almost any other of the colors, but not at the full price i paid. the black was there exactly as...

  18. Service Manual coming anytime soon?

    alot of dealers don't do all the work on their cars, they will farm out the jobs they don't do. A/C, body work, windshields and i'm sure many more. right now i want to look at the speakers in the door, a good shop manual would be good for this. seems to me they used to cost in excess of 200...
