The suns out 
Woo-Hoo 
Up early to give the car a well deserved wash & brush-up (Forecast is for snow tomorrow 
). Even treated the cross climates to some dressing - only another 6 weeks or so before I can think about putting the 18" back on

Huge shock today as it wasn't raining, so took the opportunity for a quick spin as my car hasn't moved for nearly two months!

Been driving it the last 3 weeks without worrying about it getting dirty. Helps a lot to the driveability if you do drive it regularly. Have no real issues now apart from the odd jerkiness in 2nd but convinced that's throttle map. Went a few places with Mika. He much prefers this over the Swift. The only annoyance is the shift up indicator is too keen and that it exists in Track mode is really annoying. Been looking at getting that GRZ Mod box so I can turn that shift indicator off and customise the dash so I can go to Track mode but keep the normal dash.
If you are on about the arrow showing when to shift up for fuel economy, you can disable that by unpluging the clutch sensor at the pedal end. That will also disable the gear indicator too however.
That's good to know although it may also impact the cruise control by not disengaging when the clutch pedal is pressed.
You don't have to worry! Doing this will disable cruise control
Whilst the weather was nice today I sanded out the poorly painted wheel centres on the OEM wheels, applied touch-up, installed new Toyota centre caps and gave everything a clean ready for Spring. I'm now wondering if I should remove the Bola Summer wheels ('Monaco Copper' colour with GdYr F1 Eagle Asy6) and put the OEM A/S set back on ('Black Copper' with GdYr Vector 4-Seasons) as I quite like the slightly darker look ... Oh decisions, decisions ...

Washed the dirty bugger for the first time since June 25 this pas weekend. Nice and shiney again!

Removed the green / plant life from the window rubbers, found some under the rear window water slide (base lhs and fhs)- deployed cotton buds and a bit of soapy water.

Do you have a leak? Mine seems to fog up a hell of a lot for a car that onlt has its doors opened on dry days!

Someone on the FB page said they had a leak by the A pillar. Mine will mist up on really wet days and I've used it but clears just as quick when going.

Did they mention where from? Window rubbers or windscreen, or even firewall drains?

I think I might have to see what gets the best 'exposure' for the badge given that I have a Cusco Strut Bar fitted - to be continued ... (oh the suspense!)
