The intake screws do come off they are the same as the plastic plugs.

Try this, unscrew the head a bit until it is loose (i know it won't come out) then get something
thin (I used a putty knife) to pry up the head it will pop up, then just pull it up with some pliers and the whole plug comes out. Its an odd design to say the least

I've had my RA for 3 weeks now and already done 2000Klm and I love it. I found the CC is excellent why would you want to use it in sports mode is beyond me. Only thing that anoys me is the standard seats collecting all that fluff.. Should have got the leather. Time to get some seat covers i guess.

3 months - 11000km

Trunk is too small.
Paint is chipping from all the doughnuts I've been doing on gravel/dirt. : p
Way too easy to speed.
Wheel sensor warning with my winter steelies bugs the **** out of me!
Starting issue has gone away on its own.
Burning smell has not.

The good outweighs the bad by a huge margin IMO.

Funny because I haven't had the starting issue in a few months either!

And just FYI if you didn't see it; someone in another thread said the burning smell may be coming from the rear LSD, as that is supposedly normally. No idea if it is true, but something to keep in mind. =)

The white is either primer or pre paint coating, you wont want to scratch it any further!

Just get some touch up paint & dab onto the divets with a toothpick, I've got a TB as well & its a p.i.t.a. cause paint chips stick out like a sore thumb.

^At least your front bumper doesn't attract birds like my car does. I hit one returning from N.C. back in the summer and almost another going across the Chesapeake Br.

When we were going over the bridge before the tunnel a seagul dive bombed from the heavens above and pullled up in front of my bumper. The Ralliart did not like this and decided to eat it.

^x2!

My only complaint (which is easily fixable with some RallyArmor flaps) is that the front wheels randomly shoot some bird shot shells at my rear doors and fenders. I'm planning on getting the car resprayed in another year or two anywho though.

Whats the difference? They are the same size. Bigger middle RPM gauge like the last gen Evo would be more understandable.

I drive with my left hand on the wheel and the right hand on the shifter so my left arm is in the way most of the time and can't see the RPM gauge. For a luxury car I prefer the RPM on the left though.
