Got this from the TL board.

What do y'all think about the sidemarkers?

Yes, that's in chinese culture. The number 4 in chinese is pronounced very similar to "say". With a slightly altered inflection(pronounced more flatly), it means die/dead/death, etc. That's why in chinese buildings, you will never find a 4th floor...now who wants to work/live on the death floor

7(pronounced chut, with a short u, hard ch as in charlie - emphasis on the u) is more like a durogatory adjective(I think...kinda hard to translate)

13 is just plain and simple bad luck in any culture

uh yo...

the Japanese Inspire-S has a better long-end gear ratio...

they're higher for the 4th and 5th gears...

also, do you think the Inspire-S has ECU overrides for 1-2 SS shifting mode?
