You just tap the turn signal softly in a direction and it will blink a few times so you dont have to hold the turn signal down. If you push a little harder it will stay on, like for signaling at a red light
There are aftermarket modules that can be custom wired in to replicate this feature
I was thinking since the reference was to old cars, it was like the 60's Mustangs where the lights would blink from the inside out sequentially.

I had this in a rental car once and it was gimmicky, but also pretty cool. You barely tap the stalk and you'd get a 3 or 4 count blink. My old Audi had the most annoying sound ever when you signaled almost like the stalk mechanism was an afterthought. Every time I used it I swore I broke it off, but apparently it was factory correct.
Luckily, signalling in Denver is now optional so I too couldn't care less.

It's required by law, but it's definitely not the norm anymore around here. It's also against the law to text while driving or sit in the left lane of a highway unless you're passing, but no one seems to follow those either. Is is legal, however, to turn left on a red light from a one way to a one way in Denver County, but no one seems to know that. My horns get quite the workout.
As a Denver native, I blame all the transplants. To me, signaling is as natural as putting on my seat belt, and it was never this bad in my early driving years.
I spent two years building a power plant in east TX, and I don't even think 80% of the drivers knew their cars came with turn signals. Driving on the 710 after picking my Roadster in Long Beach, I attempted to signal to change lanes. It seemed to be a signal to the guy in the next lane to quickly close the gap before I had a chance to get in.

For lightness. I love the stock sport seats. But it is way too heavy construction. Especially when looking at how tiny wire frame it is made of.
Also seats should go more down.
Movable steering wheel would have been great.
I am actually happy there were not too much silly options.

No it is not new, these images are from at least 7-8 years a go. I dont know anyone with this hood, and there have not been any additional images ever. I think they made only one.
I tried to purchase that directly from Varis Japan and also via another seller. They are impossible to deal with. Impossible. Horrible.
But nobody else does quality item. But raises question if they have sold any and if they have destroyed molds because I tried to ask price and shipping options and I could get more answers with talking to my hand.

rather than Ti seat bases...which is kinda far fetched, just give us simple manual cloth sport seats

Mpire had a CF hood a few years ago that he couldn't give away. He hung it up in his dining room for decoration. Finally after a few years, someone came and got it.

2002 M Coupe. Steel Gray/Black.
I'm actually picking mine up next week...after almost a year wait (this was expected). Pretty excited. So yeah they do still make them and you can actually get a fiberglass version for a good bit less if you're gonna paint anyway, still cuts down on a lot of weight.
Who did you deal with btw?

How much did it cost?
I was in contact with several people, I am not sure if it is vice to share that information here but several people from
VARIS MFG CO.LTD
Overseas Sales Department
Also with Hurtling company that is different company that sells Varis stuff overseas.
None of these resulted anything meaningful.
