I would have bought one but i like the extra seats/storage space (It's my only car)
I'm really tempted to get an RS now that Ford has announced they will no longer be selling them in the U.S. I wasn't planning on getting one till 2019/2020 but now I feel pressure to jump on one. Damn it Ford!!!lol look at these weak shitty things check out my focus st its got 25% more powur
The twins are in that spot the miata was when it came out (slow hairdressers car), give it a decade and suddenly everyone on the Oasis will be posting about how fun and light and go-karty they are
Are we safe in assuming this didn't involve use of the steering wheel?
Not to mention, Z33 350Zs are cheaper in price now. The ND Roadster/Miata/MX-5 is also still a really good car for modding as well (although it seems like era doesn't like modded cars).
Yeah I picked up a 350z myself as a project car at the same time my buddy picked up a mustang. We've been working on them for almost 3 years on and off so we can hit the drag strip and just mess around and have fun. Some one cut me off a week after I bought my 350z and not long ago I finished rebuilding it and as soon as I was done my buddy got into a gnarly crash. So we never found out who's was faster after a ton of modifications. :(
Since you happen to have a Z33. Are the VQ35DE much easier to work on now? I heard they were often a pain to work on.
Yeah they're a pain in the ass but only because there isn't much space in the engine bay to fit your hands in. I had a lot of trouble getting my hands into to rear when I was swapping out the camshaft position sensors or when I was swapping the two rear spark plugs. I lost track if how many times I've had to just remove the front bumper to get some more space to work with. When I was rebuilding my car it wasn't much of a problem as the whole front end was gone and the front right side lol. I don't have any pics on hand of the engine bay.
Nice. I have a friend of mine that's looking for a G35 (basically luxury version of the Z33). So he's still gonna have a pain with modding because of space the VQ takes up. He hasn't decided when to get a G35, but he's looking for a daily that's not his Merc SUV.
Hilariously, my wife is the primary reason we ended up with one: she is not a "car person," but knows the designs that she likes...which always end up being the most expensive / exclusive models possible. Past "oh, that looks nice" winners: Aston Martin DBZ, new Corvette Stingray, Jaguar F-Type. At the Subaru dealership, she looks across the lot: "oh, that Acura is cool!" NSX, natch. This weekend: "I saw a Mercedes that was pretty nice!" ... it was an AMG GT. :|
Yeah I've tuned my golf to about 300 wheel and frankly I'm barely able to use it all on the road. It's great for autocross and the dragstrip, but I'm not really getting any more out of it than when I was tuned to stage 1.
Thanks, yeah I plan on doing it real soon, I've put it off because I had tints on my 350z and I hated it at night. Wanna make sure I get a good balance this time.
Lol drive a gti and i feel the same. Leaning more to a Miata but I really do like the 86.
... was it OEM Audio Plus, by chance? I've been so tempted to get one of their setups...
Haha! It was a bit of a wild guess, but I knew they were small and focused on Toyota / Subaru. I'm thinking about one of theirs being a project for next year. I realized that I only drive the car a few days a week (wife gets priority!), and when I do it's mostly podcasts... but when we're driving together and listening to music, I'd love for it to have better sound. Glad to hear more positive things about them: reviews from other owners have been uniformly great.
...dammit! I'll have to look at their current offerings again.
