SMOKING SMOKIN HOT (You need red wheels) BURN OUT

Hi, I was very interested in this idea of locking the fob in the vehicle so I tested it out. Even with the fob sitting in the cupholder, the doors will not unlock by pulling on the handle. The door code works fine to unlock and lock the doors, but I did get a double honk when I pushed the lock...

Sorry, I am 6'5" so all the easy exit setting does for me is raise the steering wheel. The seat is already back as far as it goes. I was just happy to find a vehicle with both enough leg room and head room. Cheers.

Hi, There is am easy exit setting that moves the seat back and steering wheel up to allow for easier access. Cheers, Ron

Hi, I didn't say cooling was an issue, but oil does lubricate the bearings while the turbos are cooling. I was implying that stopping the oil flow while the turbos are cooling can cause issues. And yes, I do allow my vehicle to cool down before I turn it off. I usually drive slowly when...

Hi, On a turbo engine, I think it is a very bad idea to turn off the oil flowing to the turbos to save a little fuel. This is a bad idea made worse with turbos. Cheers, Ron

So, owners don't like changing the oil in their ST? It is about the simplist maintenance activity around, except maybe checking and setting tire pressure.

Hi, Not sure how Sync starting up wastes energy. It might use some of the battery reserve that will be easily replaced while driving with absolutely no extra fuel required to recharge the battery. It would be almost nothing compared to actually starting the motor. Cheers, Ron

Hi, There is a procedure in the manual to program each fob to the driver's preferences. Good luck, Ron

Hi, It sounds like the key fob you are using is programmed for a shorter driver. Did you program your key fob to your preferences? Good luck and safe travels, Ron

Hey Muddydogs, Good description of why at least some safety features should be left as designed. That and not wanting to get beat up. :) Cheers, Ron

Hi, Not sure if I am happy having another Rapid Red ST in Ontario. Wave if you see me in mine. Cheers, Ron

Hi, I am 6' 5" and I guess I must be out of proportion because my head was only about a 1/2" away from the roof in an ST with a sunroof. And yes the seat was lowered. I ordered one without the sunroof for that reason alone. Just picture going over a big bump or making an aggressive manoeuvre...

Hi, My paint protection strategy is to leave the ST in the garage during winter time to avoid salt altogether. Cheers, Ron

Nice! - 24C at my house tonight.

Hi, My wife prefers the yellow turn signals too. While turn signals may tell people you may be turning ahead, your red brake lights tell them you are slowing down. You don't get rear-ended because the red brake lights work. Cheers, Ron

Hey, Finally made a purchase and installed the red LED turn signal lights. Now I have to figure out how to use Forscan to eliminate the hyperflash. Cheers, Ron

Hi, I can appreciate moving to areas with warmer winter temperatures, but we rarely have a hurricane, same for tornadoes, no poisonous insects and only one type of poisonous snake (a rare two foot rattler) and we only have 200 murders in the entire province of Ontario with a population...

Howdy, My heart weeps for you. We have about 2 feet of snow outside and the low temperature last night was -29C (-20 F). I have decided to not drive my ST in the winter to avoid any salt issues (used for ice removal on the roads). Very sad not to be able to use sport mode. Cheers, Ron

Hi, I love the quality of the exhaust you are building and I definitely think bigger is better. I have what may be a stupid question. Why have a cross pipe (X) connection just up stream of the mid muffler and a cross connection in the muffler too? Anyway, nice build. Cheers, Ron
