When I'm just driving back and forth to work, I don't like how high it revs at city speeds with trans in S mode as well. There is typically a 2-3 gear difference during steady state cruising. These things already get crap gas mileage around town. |
I just picked up a daily to replace my FZ09https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...25fe789e1f.jpgNearly stock, except for a Hurst shifter. The torque in unreal!

Not compared to, well, most anything else. |

I thought you said it was stock?

Eh, that too. But honestly I love car. Even if it gets shitty mpg. Plus it drifts pretty easily. Then again, anything will on Cooper Cobras

I sold my Nissan Leaf for $1000 more than I bought it for in January '17. I put 30k on that car and only bought tires and windshield washer fluid. Can't hardly beat that result! I had noticed EVs were going up in value and also our building got new owners and I was no longer allowed to charge at work so it made sense to sell.
I picked up a blue Honda Civic Si I've always liked. It's nearly stock except for a fart cannon and only has 84k miles. The paint is a little rough but that's ok for a daily. Already set to pick up a standard muffler and some other parts later today. Attachment 230050 |

I'm still daily driving the GTX. I have just over 3k miles on it since it's been in my possession. It's been great to me thus far. Had to do a few things, pads, brake bleed, clutch slave, shifter bushings, motor mounts, fabbed up an intake, installed a Bluetooth stereo and analog boost gauge. Also did quality fluids throughout the drivetrain (redline cocktail), and some other small things. It is super fun to drive, starts every time even in single digit temps. Drives very nicely, straight and smooth. Note that I live in a rural high elevation environment. I would never recommend this car for city driving (due to safety) or highway commutes (due to safety and gearing), but it's perfect for me right now. Always wanted one, and a steal came around that I couldn't pass up, so here I am. I've read all there is to know about these things, so I'm aware of the short comings of ownership. So far I have ~3k miles on it and it's been worth every cent. I'm hoping to DD it up to about 200k miles (at 140k now), then when something gives swap in a JDM BPT +trans, which is a bit stronger. Also worthy of note, a almost completely stock 1988 323 gtx is every bit as fast as a 2017 BRZ with intake and exhaust. :giggle: |

Picked this up in Feb. '04 Prerunner. Had my heart set on a Tacoma, used prices are so crazy I was just about to buy new, then I found this gem. Love it.. 3.4, E-Locker - the stuff that matters. I did the Tundra front brake swap, now I need to do shocks and tires. Not. Gonna. Lift.

I recently sold my FXT and picked up my first new car ever, a 2018 VW GSW 4mo 6mt for my new daily ride:

New to me as of yesterday at 5:30pm.
A few guys on the SS forums already recognized me, which is awesome. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...209d168a5d.jpg Got a good deal, 16k miles, absolutely cherry. Except the rear tires are gone, but I mean, I think we all understand why. |
Love the SS. Great daily.
Right now I'm eyeing up the new 2019 Mazda 3 with the new HCCI engine. More info should be out later this year (november-ish). I'm also extremely tempted by a used 135i though. They're a LOT of car for the money. |
