What did you do with your Z today IV

alcheng · 08-10-2012, 11:20 AM

Howdy TGIF Everyone!!!!

In fact, Friday is not a weekend for me cos I work both Sat & Sun... but it's nice to yell out Fri, LOL

Nothing much going on with the Z, raining yesterday and light drizzling today, Z is my DD in the summer so she has a dirty a$$ now.. still

But a little more would be nice.

Maybe the Stillen, I am liking the tone of that one. The ARK is nice, too!

That one sounds good too but I can't get the FI because I already know it attracts the police...

Of course you wouldn't say the NISMO underperforms other cat-backs, you're trying to sell me one.

Kidding, dude, I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

No problem Mr.Davey, BTW, what is your budget on the CBE?? The Nismo is nice of cause, but the other option ie ARK Grip, F.I., they sounds VERY nice and the price is much lower than a Nismo, and you can use the extra funds to have some other mods done...

The ARK has a nice deep drone but not loud at all.. and the axle-back style adds some agressive accent to the butt of the Z...

you may consider other options beside sticking with Nismo...

hey there, mr.alcheg - thanks for all the suggestions.

while i could give the wife my dd hypothetical cvt impreza-hatch in 2yrs, i think having an AT car to drive all through winter with my G&Z (both MT) hibernating in the garage is going to suck big time. i just hate AT.

yah, ive had 2 subaru's ive bought brand new and both had factory build problems. one was bone stock, AT (i got it for the wife), and it was so unreliable i decided after 3yrs when the warranty was up, to just sell it and get the FitSport since i had such success with previous honda's (except for the 06 civic EX i had built in ohio

was in the shop for a week for warranty repair under 1k miles).

ms.blackcherry -

ive been pretty transparent about this dd search this time. she's aware of all the cars ive looked at or test driven. i think this is wat she feels out of the few left on my short list.

my goal is to keep this dd for 5yrs minimum:

Impreza hatch cvt - 0% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
Impreza hatch 5MT - 50% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
FitSport MT - 60% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
MS3 - 70% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
Juke - 80% confidence i will keep for 5yrs.
Sonic - 100% confidence i will hate it in 1wk.

Mr.kenchan... mmm... didn't know the experience you had with Suba was that bad...

I understand your worry cause it's very similar to my experience with the bimmer... and I stay away with bimmer since then....

Sounds like the FitSport and Juke are the choices now... Sorry.. I'll just rule out MS3..

But didn't you say the cargo space of the Juke is kind of small??

@ the sonic.... and I am surprised about your tolerance of giving it a week...!! LOL

I think my budget is about to get reduced for the short-term, I have a roofing company coming to give me a quote tomorrow.

But yes, I am going to consider some other options. No need to pay more for less.
