I realize...

But what im saying is I couldn't figure out which wires connect to what as the connector in my car was different than the connector used in the instructions I found online.

I'll figure it out eventually.

I'm extremely glad I did. It's always a little more refined feeling to have control from the wheel but also I've realized how much I use it. Easy to not look down and just change the channel, track or volume.

I had the whole center console out anyways and it only took an extra 30 minutes too figure out. Might as well.

I just changed the oil (Castrol Edge syntec) and filter.
Also installed the Zspeed aluminum undershroud which is sweet.
Put on two used gas struts for the hatch, which still don't work...

Took it for a drive around town before I head to the beach for the weekend. 57 degrees and the engine is loving it. Southbend clutch working great, smooth engagements. There is a popping nose at the exhaust, not sure if its back pressure or shooting flames Lmao. If it's shooting flames that's hilarious. Cruised past a local red Z. Had plastidiped emblems, horrible eBay tail lights and those god awful eBay LED black headlights. Why do people think that garbage looks good. I leave out the fact he's young and Latino.
