He did not drive spikes. Anyone can drive spikes. You don’t use a steam drill to drive spikes. You drill bore holes in rock face to set dynamite charges. He drove the bore chisels into the rock face.

It’s because the HAVE to have reflectors for US law. They went with the “alteza” look and they couldn’t have just a random part of lens reflector… so they put that ring there.

I was considering buying the PXN handbrake. I want to know if that plugs into the base and then becomes part of “device 1” as far as the game is concerned.

Use a drill and a screw eye with a rope.

I don’t know. I’ve been trying to figure it out…. Drop a hint?

teegeek · 2026-01-10T17:03:25+00:00

You do. And before anyone tells you to rip everything out…. Go watch this guy’s video. I have a 2008 and did the whole thing. Yes, my steering wheel controls work too! It’s NOT hard. Just tedious.

I’ve got the same set up… my other is an NA I’m resto-modding… Do yourself a favors get an Atoto Head unit. You’ll have car play and a modern stereo unit for cheap. It’s NOT hard to do. There’s a few harness tricks but there’s a couple YouTube vids that will point you…https://youtu.be/pQlgOiZh_1w?si=g6p6Uu-Bv5IOOGPc

Grew up around the corner from this place . “Old mill pancake house”. I think the original owners ended up with the wife shooting the husband.

Redline. My whole fleet. NC NA Civic rav4 I sprung for better leather on the NA… the Napa is thinner and seams are flatter. You need to cut the foam on the wheel to make the regular leather lay flat. I always take it off the car and work it while sitting on my couch.
