i'm telling you guys, just get those wide angle rearview mirrors,you know those rectangular ones from import shops? well around here we call them broadway mirrors, cuz the brand. but i found a one at target for 5 dollars less =)
oh and to solve that "air coming through vents" problem, just press the recycle air button, the air flow from outside stops ..
and yes the 01-02 tailights own! and i heard the ppl who have the previous years, wanted to changed them to the 01-02 but cant, cuz there a lil bigger, and they need a whole trunk conversion..so idk..

I don't really like either of them and I don't like the TYC tails j_man has, but he did them right and they look sexy.
On another note, manual owners, do you have trouble shifting into first gear at all? Sometimes mine won't go into first or will only go half way. If I'm stopped I'll have to give it some gas to slip it in to first. Also, do you have to be going like 3 mph and under to shift into first? I do...

1. The clock light bulb is out and I'm too lazy to go get a replacement - my wife likes to ask me what time it is an night to tick me off
2. The cabin air filter is a royal PITA to change
Finch - every now and then it is tough to get it in first gear. I always just hold it in and slowly release the clutch a bit and it goes right in. If you are rolling and want to get it in 1st, double clutch it and it will slide right in.

1. My clock light went out too and I'm also too lazy/waiting to do an LED conversion. My friends whip out their cell phones to check the time and then I kindly point them towards my deck with the clock right on it.
2. I haven't changed this yet...
I'll try the double clutching... is it some sort of safety feature so that you don't accidentally destroy first gear?

i don't think so... maybe it has to do w/ the fact that you both have short shifters on? (just guessing here)

uhm with the 1st gear problem, maybe once or twice every two weeks or so, i'll have a problem putting it into first gear from like a stoplight, but all i do is let go of the clutch, press it in again, then shift again, it shifts fine after that..
yeah, the clock thing is annoying, just click on the map light, and check the time ha

No, it did it before the short shifter too.
4jc, good to know then, I guess. I was hoping it wasn't a worn synchro or something.

... Probably just the way the gears and synchros work together...
Yup. Just the nature of the beast.
One way to look at it, the job of the synchro is to block you from shifting into 1st until the gearset spins up to match the revs where it needs to be.
