Mind if I check your interiors? There's been some discussion on a Focus forum about how crappy the Focus sunvisors are (feel like I'm going to rip it off every time I use it). A few people have suggested the Mazda3 may have a workable replacement.
If things aren't too busy mind if I poke my head in your cars and take some measurements?

Thanks!

Of course, it will be moving for some of the day, but it will be more challenging to check the visor that way! :lol:

Hmmm, the Focus ones do suck ass. I may have to check this out too.

For goodness sake, people, this is a local club, not nationals. Yes, cupholders are fine. Yes, swapping sunvisors is fine.

If someone protests you at a THSCC event for interior changes intended to make your car "nicer" that don't dramatically change weight, let me know and I will bring up a vote at the club monthly meeting to revoke their membership and ban them from future events.

Yes, I'm serious.

What, you're not going to punch them in the crotch?? :twisted: I would!

Hell Kendt, do what I did in my Miata, remove them all together!! Not STS legal but it saves maybe a half pound and adds 15 wheel hp!!!! :lol:

Just joking about the tools - I just want to measure and see if it is possible.

15?!! Stripped interior FTW! :P

Slightly more serious question - I fold my seat down to carry my AX wheels+stuff and have forgotten my rear headrests before. Does STS require that I run with them?
