Exclamation My TSX (old one atleast)... Who owns it???

Ok, so I'm driving down Cherry Ave. in Long Beach around 6:15pm today and I see something familiar coming at me in the distance. I see my carbon fiber hood scheme that countless race teams have bit since (AHEM... *cough* Realtime*cough*) ... and I thought someone on the road actually bit it too. As it gets closer I notice he has a freakin Kenstyle front bumper too! Closer it gets and I notice the little Signal Auto decal on the badge plate of the Kenstyle grille!!! That's my old fooken car!!! It brought a smile to my face as we came closer and I see my 5Zigen wheels. I wanted to honk as we passed but, being in a Lotus Exige or any car minus a TSX for that matter, he prolly would be like WTF. So We passed each other and I notice my old Stoptech brakes then the Tanabe exhaust... Ahhh the memories. Looks like she's in good hands so I'm happy.

Anyway, haven't really posted here in a while since I drive an Exige now. Just wanted to drop in and see if the owner of my old car is on here. Take care of her, cuz I babied her minus some dyno runs and jaunts through the canyons.

Hope you like her as much as I do/did.

Yeah, I think about her every now and then, like an old girlfriend. lol Definately miss her and wish I coulda kept her and bought the Lotus, but funds wouldn't allow. Oh well, she was clean and looked waxed, so I guess she's in good hands.

Yup I sold the car as/is like in the pictures.

EDIT: Dunno why my pictures aren't showing.

So how do you like the exige? I was thinking about getting one down the line (after watching the lotus on spiketv's bullrun lol).

From what I've been reading, it's harsh for a daily driver...it has no amenities such as power steering, a/c, or stuff like that? But I bet it's fun to drive! =)

Don't tell me that you're using the Exige as a daily driver.

Yeah it definitely isn't the most practical daily driver by any means, but from riding bikes 24/7 to an Exige daily driver is much safer than the bikes. Power steering is amazingly overrated if you're in a car under 2000lbs... It has A/C stock. It's crazy because they're the ONLY manufacturer that I know CHARGES YOU TO REMOVE A/C AS AN OPTION!!! lol It really is a little nible rocket on the streets but thing freaking RAILS at Big Willow "Fastest Road in the West"!!!

I sense a bit of something... lol
Yes and no. Yes when you asked this (I havent been here in a looong time) and no now I have a Chevy Colorado as a daily driver and a toy/racebike hauler. Lotus sits next to a color matched '06 Yamaha R6 in a garage. Yes I put 30k daily driven miles on the lotus and a good amount at the track. Being a licensed motorcycle racer (WSMC #852) though... I put more track miles on my bikes... lol got a problem with the way I spend my money? lol

SERGIO!!! You're the freakin man!!! It seems like she went to a good home. Suprisingly local considering I traded her down in Newport'! Thanks for keeping her local and giving me the weirdest feeling when I saw you drive RIGHT by me down Cherry Ave! I still clearly remember this moment I saw you and my old baby... very clearly. lol

Yeah, I'll drop you a text. If you don't have the same number email me... Eric- GraFLix1@aol.com

Plan on selling her anytime?? I'm dead serious! lol Please email me regardless... I rarely come to this site since I got rid of my old baby...

HAHA Yeah it's a freakin trip! Almost like finding someone you haven't seen in years on facebook! lol I dunno if it'd be proper for me to accept props on the TSX anymore, so I hand that down to Serg'...

Adjustable coilovers/dampers (Lotus Sport), ECU Tune (Lotus Sport- free's up HP and raises redline), TurboXS ram-air intake (thing freakin roars on the second cam!), Topspeed Pro1 exhaust (makes this thing sound exotic as it looks!) and various mods like I bought a wrecked front splitter and chopped the big nasty license plate block off and re-glassed to a new splitter that one would pay $400+ for. and HID etc...
