Fun facts

Night panel: shuts off everything but the speedo. Other guages and lights come on if the info is necessary to convey (ie low fuel).

The glovebox is fuckin huge and air conditioned TCC_ayo.

The LK9 Ecotec lacks cam position sensors, ECU just figures it out from whichever cylinder fires first.

Knock detection is done through monitoring secondary current from the coil packs/spark plugs. No dedicated knock sensors.

Ethanol content detection is done without FlexFuel sensors.
