But really if you have to get a modern car you should look into this car. It has great mpg, and has great power. Also it isn't something you see on the road everyday so your car will be pretty unique on the road.
What the fuck is up with every car company stealing the gtr front grill?

[QUOTE=hoodoo456;34556592]Ok, I didn't know that.[/QUOTE] I used to hate all yuropoor cars, now i respect most clean examples of them, but rwd v8 murricamobiles are where my heart is at. [editline]5th February 2012[/editline] [url]http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/2816642365.html[/url] repostan :v: Going to hopefully look today and see if he's willing to sell for less without the plow, if not then I'll have to sell my car AND borrow money from my aunt/parents/grandparents.
I get a lot more feedback when putting my car into second gear than i do any other gear. 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th all just sort of go into gear smoothly without any fuss, but second always seems more stiff and really *clicks* into gear. It's making me feel paranoid. I kind of just figure it's because i let first gear rev a little higher than the rest of the gears, because it's so short. So maybe the feedback i am getting is from the synchro or something. It seems like it doesn't do it so much if i let the revs drop (i'm talking about normal driving, not race car shifting).
Try double clutching if your having trouble getting into gear.
It goes right in, it just feels different. It just makes me want to change my transmission fluid even more. edit: I went and drove my car some more to really observe it, and the more i pay attention to it, the less of deal it seems to be. I think it is because the revs are so much higher coming from first than they are putting it into second. It doesn't do it while i'm sitting still.

[QUOTE=NuclearAnnhilation;34552685] wait, did I ever explain why I have a fuck load of money all of a sudden?[/QUOTE] So ~$15k? Hmm, if I had that money, I'd buy a mid to late 90s M3. Luxury with performance.
In his thread he said that his parents only want him buying a car from 2005 and up.
OMGWTFLOL So IDK if anybody remembers but that one guy (sorry i don't remember who you are),the relative of Dan Savage the Sikky sponsored drifter, but he said something about a customer of sikky getting a miata engine swapped into hid FD RX7 and honestly, I didn't believe it at first, because, well, who the hell does something like that. Then I saw a picture of it from a friend on facebook who I think works there or is good friends with them.

more room for sick turbos yo
the ls powered beasts they produce make up for it though
[QUOTE=Watevaman;34564863]it is so fucking ridiculous in person because there's like a foot of space in front of everything so it's looks so empty[/QUOTE] well the 13b is kind of the same in that respect lol
I thought the Miata motor was slow. Anyone know anything about 700R4 shift kits?
That's why he wanted it. Because the REW had "Too much power". Seriously, the only swaps I've ever seen done to an RX-7 (at least, in person) are LS swaps, and even then not only are they frowned upon, but they are done to achieve even MORE horsepower. This miata shit...It's embarrassing frankly. [editline]5th February 2012[/editline] If i ever saw him in person I'd probably give him a nice gut shot for being such a pussy...And I'm not just saying that because i drive an rx-7 either

[QUOTE=Herr General;34564714]Ah, I didn't read the thread- I only saw that you had said it was $15k. My apologies.[/QUOTE] If I was given that money for any car, I'd cry with joy with those possibilities.
You guys will never guess what happened to my car today! Absolutely nothing. Fucking boring FWD poopwagon.
Take everything out of it, and you will have yourself a FWD poopwagon superleggera.
I got stuck today. Was pulling up to a stop sign when my car started sliding to the side, and no matter what I did it just kept sliding till I hit the curb. My front right wheel got in pretty deep, and I couldn't drive out cause the wheel was surrounded by a lump of ice. My cousins who live down the street came and along with a couple other guys who were nice enough to help, they pushed my car out of the curb. It was pretty intense, first time my car has gotten stuck in snow and ice

What a shame. I bet my friend's V6 Pathfinder can beat it in a drag race.
Friend learned about oversteer and mustangs lolcantturn roots today
how did he learn about both in presumably the same car
