One thing you dislike about your FC..

If you could name one thing about your FC that you really wish was different, what would it be? Whether it be an option that you cant do anything about, or something about its appearance, whatever. For me, it would be that I really wish I had a sunroof-less model. I really like the looks of the sleek roof, plus the bit of weight that it saves. PLus after mine broke and I had to replace it, Ive hated it ever since...

How my Fuel Gauge Level Gauge never displays a full reading when filled up. - Even with a new Fuel Level Sender Unit and Low Fuel Sensor.

As with Silverrotor, mine's too started doing that (only recently).

Hmmm... I guess if I could change one thing I'd be the dual exhaust, if they were not going to come true dual from the manifold back all the way from the factory then there's no point in them. I'm going to swap it out for a single next spring, but then I'll have that damn empty cut out ruining the flow of the design on the back end.

I wish my rx7 came with strippers. That's an option that's missing on every car as far as I'm concerned
