Haha, I had several Hondas too over the years. I think 2008 was the end for me, when Acura killed off the TL-S. Acura's designers must be drinking paint thinner, with the designs they keep putting out, tied to their anemic performance. Their marketing keeps saying fancy things like "it's that kind of thrill" which has become a never ending joke on the Acura forums.
I picked up my Nismo about two months ago, but my account took forever to be approved, so I only started posting today. The car is everything that Honda isn't these days.
6MT? Check. RWD? Check. Forged wheels? Check. DOHC V6 with dual throttle bodies? Check. Actual sport tuned suspension? Check. Racing seats? Check. The list goes on. While some Hondas still have a 6MT, it's generally only on base models. I'm an option whore and I like to stick to the highest trim model possible. No dice with Honda!
Anyway, I've read a bit on the boards and I do plan on doing some minor mods. My first mod will be to have the DRLs stay on when the head lights on. Beyond that, I think I'll lower the car about an inch, throw some wheel spacers on, and ever so slightly smoke the tail lights with 3M film. As I get older, the more I want to keep my cars fairly stock. I just feel the Nismo will be worth more over time by doing so. I really like the OEM wheels, but they need to be spaced a bit and of course, the ride height needs to be cleaned up. I considered coils, but I'll never adjust them again as the car will only see sunny days, so I'm not convinced it's worth it. I also love how the stock suspension feels.
It'd be nice to get some more noise out the exhaust, but it seems sacrilegious to hack up a factory HKS exhaust.... But we will see
Hope to see you around on the boards. Thanks for the welcome!
Also, is it possible to post pics on the forum without hosting them on various sites like Photobucket? It's just a pain in the *** to do so
