    True. The auto column moves every time the key is taken out so fatasses like myself can get in and out. Btw I fixed it. Not sure how so I set the wheel to a fixed spot and turned it off.

    He's not fat :rolleyes:

    Oh, it tilts automatically. I can see how that would break eventually.

    But that and seats, I definitely prefer manual

    I'm never against manual seats. Drove a Bentley Supersports with manual seats. Surprised at first but I figure a leather/alcantara wrapped carbon fiber seat is pretty light.

    It's not even wasting power that bothers me... it's when I loose something under the seat, and I need to wait 5 minutes for the darned thing to slowly motor it's way forward, and then back again. Ain't nobody got TIME for that!

    No Ryan no corollas had power tilt columns. You either had manual adjustment or nothing at all.

    Until you've warmed your feet with those, I could see how you think they are useless.

    Ah, something must have been clogged or broken, things don't generally make it to mass production if they don't work.

    Well neither one did much of anything, and I took everything apart, and the ducting was quite skinny and pathetic, no wonder. Maybe they improved it for the 8th gen.

    While getting this thread back on topic somewhat. This came out of the rear diff. Going with never been done before for 400 Alex. Came out like tar. And my old man is now worried because he hasn't done his (we both have the same car if I've never mentioned it just he has a 95). He never listens lol

    The amount of metal shavings I heard was going to be bad. It was worse then I expected. My old mans SC has 30k more miles on it then my car does. His diff is shot lol.
