They actually don't fall off. The spring inside the door handle usually gives way meaning it turns or bends or stretches. Hence why you can still pull the handle but it won't open the door. They were made cheap and these being the 2g eclipse/talon door handles... the 1g's door handles I've never had a problem with. I've yet to see one literally fall off but I'm not doubting it hasn't happened.

But that doesn't make up for the weekly crank-walk.

Fuck if I care, thats cool though

I've been known to say "I'd rather have two KA24s in a 240SX than one SR20". Torque > HP

The only thing good about a KA is the Head, everything else sucks.
