The dash in the LR - ill admit it took getting used to but I really do not find it that bad. I know some people think it looks all over the place but it honestly does work very well when you're driving, and its by no means the worst interior at all. I am toying with a few ideas for mine so it'll be interesting to see how it looks once it's done.

Speaking of dashes - the Fez stereo setup is just odd. It put me off right away.

Default Burning clutch smell

Just wanted ask if u guys ever got that burning clutch smell when you first got the car?
As most of you guys already know from my previous post that I'm new with manual car and yes I'd be the first to admit that I'm a sh8t manual driver but I've still noticed burning clutch smell since I first got the car. I'm still practicing heaps of hill start and have been revving little higher than necessary on the take off to avoid those embarrassing stall so it could be from that but wanted to hear from other owners.

cheers!

YEP! Quite normal. I think its just the engine/clutch all working together.... it will eventually disappear.... usually by the time you also learn to drive!
