1 week of ownership - things to get fixed already...
just want to be sure it's not just me.... (which of course probably could be!)
anyhoo - most of you will probably just bash away, or say search of which I did - just sharing... probably 7 years too late.
- I/C pump possibly failing - nothing new, just need to get it checked out...
- drivers door handle, doesn't unlock - but it locks; checked the 3 other doors and they work just fine - seems to be a bad sensor - should be replaced under warranty
- driver seat active cooling - not feeling it -heat works fine, just not getting (or hearing) the air like I can in the passenger seat
- seatbelt chime stays on after someone gets out of the passenger seat - really annoying, maybe a bad seat sensor? also, if I put my gymbag in the passenger seat and not buckle the belt the chime goes off
- every once in a while when I come to a stop, I hear a 'puff' from the front of the car, maybe airmatic leak?

Toad, I'm curious, how you gonna mod that thing? I thought you were a troll at first, but since you finally got the car, I was wondering what your goals were with it? Are you tracking it? or are you doing a dyno queen?

it's a DD, so I have to think about that as well... Shardul's pulley has me itchin though
seems like the smartest pulley mod out theregotta do the K&N still, just haven't had time and maybe pull the resonator and 2ndary cats now that I know it will smog just fine... just to add a little more noise, but not make it unbearable.
everyone that's gone for a ride is amazed at the power, but even more amazed at how tame it can be at the same time

still trying to get a handle on what's next - most likely when I get used to the power, Stage 1 is all I'd do - it's stealth enough, and not too interested in making the E-car a drag monster - I would have gotten a Mustang for that

And yes mustangs are great for the track. I'm looking for one now. LOL

There has been a few threads about the cooled seats. The fans are reverse fans that are suppose to "suck" the air from you. They are so small they don't really do jack shiat except light up those blue LED's that look so cool haha. I think one of the members on the board here actually put larger fans in the seat and it performed up to his expectations after.
FWIW my cooled seats are worthless too so I am pretty sure it's all of our cars

Step 4 I am pretty sure can be fixed with star das. Might be in developer mode though and dealers don't have it. Been a few years. Lemme hunt around for the fix this weekend.

at least when my gym bag is on the front seat, it chimes away
but if nothing is in the front seat when I start, it's quiet all day long...

I figured it could be hacked out with STAR - I'm assuming the seats have pressure sensors to know if you're in the seat in order for the chime to go off?

I can scan it with the SDS when I get home to see what the computer is saying.

Mine does this too, I just consider it normal and put things in the passenger floor. Probably a bit more safe this way so your items don't become flying objects in an emergency situation
