There is no battle. Just over-sensitivity over reposts...and I flunked all my AZ HR-mandated sensitivity training seminars.

So, a BRZ with a Scion badge, at full MSRP. Sweet.

They can make all the limited editions they want. I won't care until one is available in yellow.

Read that earlier. Made me mad.

Can a mod ban another mod?

Rick_TL-S

Stopped by to look at a BRZ tonight & ended up getting a closer look at the modified one I mentioned earlier since I could save a good bit. They are asking $24,899 instead of the $27K+ I saw, but they claim the last owner dumped $2K into the suspension & $1,500 into the exhaust. I could believe it's on coilovers since it sits pretty low, but for a "$1,500" exhaust (more than what the venders here charge?!), it sounds exactly as I would imagine the car to sound stock, so I think that's utter bs.

Fortunately, since it's damp & foggy here, I wasn't in the mood to test drive as I'm positive this is the one they would push on me for its "huge savings". So, Monday I'll most likely head to another dealer & be firm for a new one so I can start figuring out what the Colorado dealer can save me on.

I will give props to Subaru. Alcantara interior, standard NAV, heated seats & mirrors, all really nice touches you don't see on cars under $30,000.

Yumcha

Oh yes. But, thankfully, my fuse is not as short as srika's...I'd love to see him feud with other Megas.



And keeping him around has it's amusing benefits. I know I'm chuckling usually.

If you do end up going back to take a look at the modded one again, snap a pic of the exhaust. It's entirely possible that its a $1500 exhaust (list). Im sure you're well aware of the jdm tax on everything

I was thinking the other way around

Yumcha

Oh. Well, I'm sure he'd love to. But, you know...us robots...

Can they ban together at the same time? That'll be cool!

Honestly, I would much rather spend $1k more to get a clean new car. But, that's just me.

When you get the quote, please make sure to see if the quote is for MY2013 or MY2014. CO dealer offered me the same price for 2014 instead. I'm just impatient and got the 2013 from the dealer that I was at.

But if you are patient and if other local dealers don't match the CO dealer's price on their MY2014, I would just buy it from CO dealer. They have very good ratings.

And everyone who sat in my car were very surprised how nice the interior is. The BRZ Limited comes with a lot of features and goodies as well - the alcantara seats are especially really nice.

Anyway, good luck man! Let us know how it goes.

Yumcha

And back on topic. Sorry for the sidebar, folks.

Yes! Morgan said it's possible.

Almost bought a Golf R last year. My wife loved the look. But then I realized I wanted a RWD car for my next car.

Yumcha

Whoa.

Yumcha

But, now that you have that kit...would you?

Crazy Bimmer

ha to think i was excited about this invite..

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

If I was in the market for a AWD turbocharged car under $35k, it'll be either STI or EVO, not Golf R.

srika

I was gonna ask you about that

Crazy Bimmer

Yea im not going. Too far and on a weekday

Yumcha

Do you enjoy these car unveilings?

I've been invited to a few, probably the most extravagant is for the SLS AMG.

But, I found these affairs to be rather stuck-up and well, I can't afford the car anyway...nor am I shopping...So, don't really find a point to go them. Maybe that's just me.

JS + XES

And that's why you lost your chance on M3.

GG.

Yumcha

You think you're sooooo funnay.

Rick_TL-S

I don't blame you, I'm leaning that way myself. I'm pretty set on a MY2014, though I'll settle for a MY2013 if it means I can get a new Galaxy Blue one.

Patience shouldn't be an issue. I don't plan to pull the trigger for at least another month unless I'm really satisfied with the deal.
The tips were extremely small, enough where I could see the pipes & then what looked like to be the actual exhaust within' them.

Whose offering $1,500 for a BRZ exhaust, though? HKS? Cobb?

A lot of JDM ones are pretty expensive.

Rick_TL-S

Holy shit, that's an expensive aftermarket. Why is it as much as the TL's?

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

JDM = Overpriced. You should never get those anyway. Shitload of mod options on everything man. You will love it, if you are into modding.

And I thought this was... cool... 604hp 472tq on a stock motor FRS.

Modding is definitely one of the reasons I want to move on. The Acura is just far too limited & feels like I may as well be modding something German.

This talk isn't helping, btw.

Crazy Bimmer

Dont go to many but I enjoy knowing whats out there and like seeing/driving them first hand instead of reading about it.

I would never buy many cars but if given a chance, I would drive them all.

Yumcha

Ah...well, there is no test-driving in any of these unveilings. At least not where I'm at.


And , I'd love to test-drive the cars...

Crazy Bimmer

Well the i3 invite includes test drives. Dont think I would go to one that didnt at least offer that. I can see pictures all day long on the internet.

You aren't the least bit interested in what it will look like and what price tag Acura will put on it?

Well for me, I came close to buying a '12 or '13 TL SH-AWD 6MT. And since I had a TSX before that, I'm still interested in what Acura will do.

It may not be as exciting as the other cars listed, but it's still something new!

RPhilMan1

I don't know; it really depends. The STi and Evo are much more raw, and the R blows them both away interior and comfort-wise.

I also looked at the Golf R while cross-shopping the STi, and yes, it was a bit harder to justify $35k for the R, but with the tuning and mod capabilities, I'm sure I'd love a 300AWHP Golf R.

Damn, as Rick said, all this talk is not helping.

srika

I know man! that was brutal
