If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)
 
What would it be?

I hurt my shoulder, I'm kinda gimped up for a while. I really really REALLY wish that it had a telescoping steering wheel. To put the seat where I want it (pretty far back but not all the way) I feel like I'm driving straight armed. So, I pull the seat up at the expense of my knee comfort to relieve the strain on my shoulder. Granted, I have 130 curves to drive to get home and to work ( I do NOT have the luxury of driving with a finger on the bottom of the steering wheel like a flatlander), but it'd be nice.

I tried that too. It doe still freeze up. It's the damn nozzles. For whatever reason, they seem to freeze up no matter what. It may be time for a factory hot shot system like they are putting in all the new Thaoe/ Burban, Silverado, Yukon, Escalade, and LE HUMMERS. I would have to go with this upgrade.

OR

The foot pedal thing.

To tell you the truth i really dont dislike anything about the car, however one imporvement that would be nice the only thing i find a bother sometimes is where the window buttons are located i would like to have those in a different spot so you dont have to strain or reach accross to reac them.

Hmm... I've thought about this for awhile and have to say the one improvement I would really like to see would be a v-tec badge located under the H3 emblems.

I would like to have the rear window open. I still like to build things and I can not put anything longer than an 8' board inside.

One improvement? I'd upgrade it to an H2.

Ya bunch of whiney bishes.

Steve - SanJose 01-18-2007 01:04 AM

Re: If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)
 
H2 would be a downgrade to older / lower form of technology. We're not into downward mobility.:jump:

Sorry about that. I had to reboot.


I love H3s!!!!!:perfect10s: :jump:

New placement will start on Jan. 31st.

Re: If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)
 
I dont have any trouble with the window switches at all, in fact I like the current placement. I would like to see the adventure model come out with 35 inch tires from the factory.

But that would make no sense. Vtec for Honda means variable timing and lift and electronic control, and the original statement would assume the vortec engine has no variable timing.

My 06 H3 has visor lights on both driver and passenger sides, maybe that was included in Luxury package.

It was on the early models, then it became a separate option, because it included the "homelink".
