The terribly engineered window motors...they are BRUTAL!!!

The very first day I learned about the window trick and using your key to roll them down, my driverside window stared acting up. Eversince then, I only touch it to make sure it is rolled up all the way incase I know it may rain.

I am NOT looking forward to replacing/cleaning the motor. There IS a great DIY here:

....but It looks like a continual problem. Oh well, sacrifice the Mickey D's drive thru, but you get to roll in a Z...I guess its a fair trade.

 

Really? I have 2 amps in that same compartment and never have a problem using that plug. Did you run your RCAs or your speaker wire next to the wires for the plug?

 

I vote for our stock antenna, the one that looks like it's trying to pick up reception from another demension.

That was the first thing I "upgraded."

 

my sunglasses fit in the holder, what all you wearing big ol Paris Hilton glasses?

 

LMFAO...i thot the same thing, i turned it on and was like WTF and it was 96 degrees outside...

 

I think the window trick is oone of the better things on the car if pointless to some. When its hot I can walk 2 my car instead of gettin in and it being extremly hot in a car or kepeing my door open. And most people that don't have it wish they do. All my EVO and STI buddies hate that it comes with it.

 

 

i do like using the unlock button to roll down the windows, especially in this 100 degree texas heat.

 

I tried the window up trick last night I never knew my key has never been put in the door. Now I know. Preciate it!

 

Back 2 the original thread are you still gettin your Z???

 

What window up trick? is it something like the VW where you insert the key in the door lock and turn?

 

Yeah, same thing...

 

some of the drivers.....

 

I'd say the Oil and Battery gauge on the dash. They never really move or tell me anything lol. I was driving the other week everything looked fine. Came out a bookstore, started the car.. battery was dead. No warning.

 

the most useless would be the instructions on how to put golf stuff in the trunk.

 

sometimes the driver is the most pointless part of a car.....wait, around where i live that is a lot of the time! lol

 

The VQ35HR is the most pointless part of the car.

 

well if the alternator is chargin of course it won't warn you...that is what a battery light is for. You probably left something on....

 

that drivers side door lock that you think is pointless is actually good for something if both windows or one are open and you already are out of the Z and dont want to go all the way inside and put the key in the ignition and turn it and then click for the windows to roll up then all you have to do is not do that you just stand outside put the key in the drivers side door lock thing and turn it to the right and hold it until the windows roll up all the way or if you only want then rolled up half way then just hold it till you see the windows rolled up half way. so this door lock thing is not all pointless. I dont know if you know this other part either but if you hold down the unlock button on the automatic hand held thing the windows both of then will roll down
HOPE THIS HELPS GIVE ME SOME REPLY IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS

 

What kind of gorilla hands do you guys have with the whole "turn signal, turning off headlights" debacle? This has never happened to me. Do you guys smack the crap out of the turn signal stalk like it's a hooker mouthing off to you?

And to the guys from years ago talking about the audible tick from the blinkers. I never understood how people can forget that they turned them on. Did you make your turn? Did you not notice the signal stalk click back into neutral? Do you look at your gauges ever? Notice the blinking green light? Are you a 80 year old Asian woman?

To keep with the thread theme, I agree with the people who said:

6 cup holders in a two seater. The two in the doors I never use for fear of scratching them up, the two furthest in the back are useless, however I will use the ones in the center.

Stopwatch. It would be cool if it automatically timed you to 60mph or something, but otherwise dumb.

Airbag stickers, come on now. Every car has these now too and I know it's to keep sue happy people from losing their minds. All of that info is either common sense, in the manual or something I don't care about.

Knee pads, wtf? They do nothing.

Coat hangers. LOL, I tried to use them once to hang my dress uniform up......they are useless.
