Hi

I am now the owner of a rolling blind spot!  A Super White GT with 5 speed.  
Just fast enough to get me to work every day with a little flash.  Too few 
miles to see why you guys do so well with it in ES.

Since I cannot yet get a service manual, I was wondering if anyone has found 
out how to adjust the clutch.  I have to push it all the way to the floor to 
get full disengagement.  I am not used to this and with the close ratio 
gears, I am not shifting as silky smooth as I used to in the ford or CRX.

Second, using the tire pressures listed on the doorjamb, the car feels a bit 
reluctant to get off dead center.  Fine for running down the highway, but I 
was hoping for a little more spirited cornering.  Anyone experiment with 
higher pressures in the stock tires?  Quite an experience going from a kart 
and CRX to this LONG wheelbase coupe.

Did anyone else notice that there is no grill - leaving the A/C condenser 
coil very vulnerable?  Any suggestions before I buy some egg crate or rat 
wire to protect it from gravel and road debris?

Suggestions for a trailer hitch source?

It has been just too hot here to really look under the car.  Just hoping for 
some inspiration, and some rain to put out the forest fires.

Paul
