The 3G Ramblings & General Discussion Thread

With the blessings of Steven Bell, I come here to create a thread where all 3G members can assemble.

We can share things about our car to everyone, not just to a select group of people *AHEM* UA7 squad

This is a safe haven where anything goes.
A general chat thread, where you can share what you have done to your car and or catch up with members.

I encourage you to engage with other members and have fun!

First page yes! I feel famous. Steven, I think maybe it's more interesting to discuss Justin? But is it agreed upon we must discuss cars?

Car related, Chris' vossens are awesome.

I want a KBP Type-S 6-speed but can't justify getting rid of my car. I'll just save my pennies for a AP2 S2000.

I sold my '05 TL within a year and a half of purchase. I liked it but there was something about the interior that felt claustrophobic and I still can't rationalize it. And this is coming from a guy who feels at home in a submarine. The overly stiff suspension that had very little 'give' and rattles bugged me too. Had the '07/'08 TL been my vehicle, I almost certainly would have kept it much longer.

AP2's have torque (sort of) and a more forgiving suspension

Thats what happens when you hit your 30's. You go to bed on time, eat your peas and go to work with fewer complaints

You must be pretty excited to get your car back! Were you able to drive something else during this wait? I think I'd go nuts if I didn't have a car to drive around whenever I felt like it...

Is that when the front end hits ten years old, or the rest of the car?

Not necessarily tired, I do still enjoy it. But, the platform just isn't quick enough for me anymore.

I want something with at least 400whp & the money to get this car there isn't worth it compared to a better suited platform.

ah, the crabmaster comes up with a good thread idea.

I've only had my 3G since March '11, and the only thing I'd really get rid of it for would be to get a '12 TL with a 6MT, or even settle for a 3G Type S with a 6MT that isn't ASM/WDP/NBP.

realistically though, I plan on gettin either a JDM-front Teg or an S2K in the next 4-5 months. then I'll have 3 pedals again in an enjoyable "weekend" car and a nice daily in my TL.
