jg10G37-S - you mention that your sedan had A/C vents in the back seat? I don't have that in my G.[/quote]
Correct. What I was trying to say is that the auto has rear vents but the MT does not because of the e-brake. The vents/controls are in that area so manual will omit this option.
Nice ride!

Thanks for this tip. Would have never thought that turning off VDC would allow for better shifting. I will have to try it for fun. The shifts from 1st to 2nd can still be a little rough but I'm starting to be more consistent.

^ ok, i suppose. but is losing traction on upshifts a regular problem for you? if so i doubt many others live at the same race track you do.
for 99% of drivers turning VDC off will have no affect on manual shifting under regular driving conditions. an exception would be in winter driving conditions when allowing some wheel slip will help forward momentum.

Its been a while since I looked into it (since 2004, when I got my first G) but it definitely made a difference.
From what I recall, the problem is that the VDC can be a bit presumptuous on detecting wheel spin. I'm no expert on the subject, but its my understanding that there are more sensors that are involved in the calculation on whether or not to cut power than simply wheel slip. The VDC system utilizes information from body position sensors as well (roll and yaw).
Anyway, before I get too deep into trying to explain things that I only have a cursory understanding of, I purchased this module from KP Technologies:
KP Technologies (Second one down, item # SM20)
It kept my VDC set to whatever setting I was previously using it at when I turned the vehicle off. I usually left it off unless it was raining, then I'd turn it on. Luckily, I salvaged it from my '04 6MT Coupe, so it'll be going into my '11 6MT Sedan.

welcome to the madness. I'm new to the brand, so I'm not sure about this. you want the lip? is that the chrome lip thing? I have the spoiler, I think. regardless it's OEM so at least you can take a look before you make your decision. it was part of the aero pkg.

best of luck with the car.
was there a facelift for 2011? if so, don't show me pics or i'll be upset, b/c I just got my 2010 about a 6 wks ago?
