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

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.
