I bought a used Homelink unit, cut holes (based on the template that I printed from Homelink website) into roof liner and tapped it to the wires for the lights in the overhead sunglasses area. Think it cost me like $20.
However, simpler way is to just buy the Toyota Homelink mirror and have them install it.

Just find Sunvisors that have home link and run a power wire up to the headliner. Not the end of the world if someone wants it

Here are the numbers: Quote:
258.66 hp at 6320 rpm, and 279.38 lb-ft of torque from a DynoJet dynamometer.
| But funny how they're trying to apply hypothetical drivetrain loss to pad numbers at crank. 345hp?? lol
Kind of arbitrary imo.

I doubt it. 25% loss on a modern car is at least 10% too high. That being said modern cars seem to dislike dyno’s and vary wildly.

I like how the magazine trying to boost the GR ego with these numbers.
I remembered my B16A2 turbo making those numbers 20 yrs ago. Not to mention any K series with simple bolt ons can hit 230-50whp.

I’m still worried about this constant high boost pressures. I doubt this has the same longevity as older Toyota engines. This is one stressed little 3 banger.

650km impression -
Shifter is Solid. not Honda Shifting good, but still good. Postion is low for my taste.
Steering Wheel is bit too thin/narrow. but I dont' see anyone else complaining. Must be my personal problem.
AWD system is great. It saved me yesterday morning from 2 incidents.
interior is crap for $45,000 car. I was disappointed. striaght out form a Corolla HB.
Driver seat/bolter was average. It doesn't grab you like it should for a sportier vehicle.
car only has 650km. I hasn't rev pass 4500rpm yet, still Breaking-in.

No complaints about not having an arm rest?

Removing the arm rest from my e36 was one of the first things I did. I don't understand the use for them. My hands are on the steering wheel.
