Also don't like the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) but we are all pretty much stuck with that now since the Feds don't think we are smart enough to check our tire pressure on our own.
you can actually thank firestone for that one...

yea.. it sits fairly high if your used to honda short shifters.. but you also gotta realize that the seat sits pretty high also.. i think thats my only downfall with my yaris.. i feel like im sitting in a folding lawn chair. im used to my crx really low profile. but it grows on you like others say.. i think all these cars need is some nice looking rims and to be droped about 1.5-2" and you got yourself a nice looking ride.. also a spoiler helps in my opinion.. i just feel its too ovel looking in the back..

TRDsparks.com sells already painted and installation kit for spoilers

Rims, spings, and some bolt ons is all I plan on doing. I am also impressed with some of the gas mileage that you guys get. Even with all of the mods, some of you are getting 35+ MPG. Thats Crazy! I dont even think my go-kart gets that much.

ilikerice: can you get a part that would make the lever lower, if i wanted to? Or is that just the way it is?

Thanks again you all!

My last CRX I owned, a red 1988, I kept it for 9 years. I wore out a spot on the driver's seat where I put my left hand all the time to give me a boost to get out of the car! Now I feel like I'm sitting in an SUV when I get in my Yaris.

Ha ha Crx's are the bomb! Too bad they are hard to find as well. They are either riced out, or super rusty.

That place on the seat AND the rusted out place right behind the back wheel wells! I still see my '88 CRX about once a week while driving home from work, so it's still going strong! I miss mine too. And the guy who owns it now fixed all the rust!
