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.

Re: If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)
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.

Re: If you could have only ONE improvement (besides the engine)
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.
