Wheels look good Min have to agree though the rotors look small in comparison.. does it stop the same with the bigger wheels? or do you now notice a difference?? i think i saw on youtube someone put a nissan z74 big break kit on an EX not sure if the dimentions are the same for an FX
#6002
wheels?? i always had 20's on the fx from the beginning.
1st was OEM 20x8, 32lbs per wheel
2nd was MRR HR-4 20x9, 33lbs per wheel
and the current one is TSW Nurburgring 20x8.5, 24lbs per wheel
Never felt short of brake power yet. Its pretty good even though they are not 4pot brembo that I used to have on the TL. BUT it does look dinky with them exposed with 20" mesh style wheels.

I don't recommend EX. I had it as a loaner before and cargo area of that thing is simply useless. Also back seat isn't that great either.. But you should definitely look into FX. Many parts are interchangeable with G35 and 350Z and have more aftermarket support than the RDX.
slammed with coils and gt-r 20's
2G supercharged
move over to nissan! haha

the EX is smaller then the FX i think the engine output was changed too.. they both have the v6 though... love that black one and the silver one and the first grey one.. is the silver one with the AP brakes have a different front bumper?? is there any tuning options for these yet?
#6011
Ex is smaller but with higher output engine than the first gen FX.
But the exterior look and the space inside isnt that great. I like the rich material
Infiniti used for the interior though.
Stillen makes supercharger for the FX and i believe they offer tuned ecu too.
Also turbo is available too if i remember correctly. Aftermarket support is abundant
since most of the g35 and 350z fits the FX too. Even 350z's nismo catback fits fx perfectly with just a slight extention on the tips

Marcus, did you seal the paint yet on the RDX? If not this is what I use (ideal for dark colored cars):
HEED THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE!!!!
Don't let it dry on the paint. To quote VO - "or you'll be sorry".
If you rub it in and then immediately remove it as you go, it'll add a great depth to the paint. If you let it dry at all, it'll be almost impossible to remove and in the process you'll have to rub so hard that you'll rub streaks into the paint.
Just use it properly and you'll be fine.

Refection on the RDX hood of our bikes that hang from the ceiling in the garage!

^ya but why he chose a $31,000+ car as the economiser vehicle is beyond me. Personally, I would have picked up a used base Civic at $11,000.

but not much price difference between the 45 & 35 now days. 35 is more popular so resale is higher than the 45s.
and no oil consumption issue on the 35. but some have oil issue with the 45. but not major like something you have to refill every 1000 miles or so.
if i were to buy it again, i'll go with 45. i want the v8
because they are hype like the apple. something cool to own and save the environment. oh and also save money by saving gas. but they dont realize it'll take years and years to cover up that $20k difference ($31 prius - $11 civic). plus they drive like shit and floor the damn thing thinking since its a hybrid, i still get a good mpg no matter how much i floor the gas..
#6024
did you see this one?
http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ctd/2754729694.html
2007 fully loaded except rear entertainment package with 43k miles.
$24999
'06~'08 35's are in the same price range as that one.

^ called insurance company just to see how much it would be.. my rate with a fx45 would be 300 more then an 35,, aint that a B.. the EX would be 20 dollars cheaper then the fx35 and the fx ex is 30 more then having a RDX.. insurance companies are out to rape people..
#6026
^ oh and update on my TV... no one could do anything for me at best buy but i was able to get a 50$ gift card and can take my receipt in for reimbursement on the protection plan i cant use thats remaining.. which comes out to about 40 bucks.. so ya 700 bucks down the drain anyone looking for tv parts? will sell cheap =)
also since buying a panasonic 3d tv NO ONE and i mean NO ONE has there 3d glasses in stock.. and at 100 bucks each panasonic is making a killing on not having glasses sold with there tvs i shoulda got a 65 incher atleast i would of gotten something then

FYI-Shotguns with 3 shell restrictors in the magazine
So finally figured out what the restrictor in the magazine is for...This is a federal law for hunting waterfoul. It is perfectly legal to have a self defense shotgun without the restrictor:
Additional Federal and State regulations apply to waterfowl hunting, including those summarized below.
Illegal hunting methods. You cannot hunt waterfowl:
•With a trap, snare, net, rifle, pistol, swivel gun, shotgun larger than 10 gauge, punt gun, battery gun, machine gun, fish hook, poison, drug, explosive, or stupefying substance.
•From a sink box or any other low floating device that conceals you beneath the surface of the water.
•From a motorboat or sailboat, unless you shut the motor off or furl the sail and the vessel is no longer in motion.
•Using live birds as decoys.
•While possessing any shot other than approved nontoxic shot.
•From or by means, aid, or use of any motor vehicle, motor-driven land conveyance, or aircraft (if you are a paraplegic or are missing one or both legs, you may hunt from a stationary car or other stationary motor-driven land vehicle or conveyance).
•Using recorded or electrically amplified bird calls or sounds, or imitations of these calls and sounds.
•With a shotgun that can hold more than three shells, unless you plug it with a one-piece filler that cannot be removed without disassembling the gun.

Fx45 is $300 higher than the fx35? Thats total bullshit..
Guess 35 is the way to go.
#6030
nothing wrong with the brand new tv just my old one that fell off my wall.. i was getting the run around from best buy on if they would cover it or not.. lasted a month before they said no and only offered a gift card in its place..
im guessing that the v8 and the more money its worth you can afford alittle more in insurance too. but yes.. nothing makes sense in the insurance world

How come PortlandRL only have 7? Time for a PM 2 PDXRL.
Went to see MI-3 on the Cinetopia 70 foot screen. Really good special effects, lousy banter between actors. If it wasn't for the hilarious one liners from Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead), I would rank it in with the work of Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu...
