New Nismo owner in a 2012 gun metallic ;)

nhbpcivicsi · 12-13-2013, 01:38 PM

Hello there guys and gals

i've been on the forum for a while and i finally have the chance to introduce my baby. I traded my Si for the nismo about a month ago. I told myself that i won't be doing any mods for the first year but that escalated quickly

Any exterior mod suggestions would be appreciated

Lol I kinda miss the Si tho

it was just a bit more powerful, but the nismo is in a totally different league. I thought I was getting compliments when I drove the Si, but oh boy you should see the compliments that im getting now

Sweet man, congrats!! You mentioned trading your si for the nismo, was it an even trade?
By the way it maybe some what of a biased opinion but you picked the best colour choice possible :-)

Lol not even close man, I had to pay about 22K on top of the Si

although my Si was an 07 with only about 50K miles. And I agree with the color, I've always wanted a PW or MB nismo but when I saw the GM it was love at first sight

Yeah the Si was supercharged.. parted it out before trading it in for the nismo, was pushing about 295 to the wheels

XxACExX · 12-13-2013, 07:11 PM

295 to the wheels is amazing in an Si.

It is absolutely bizarre because i had preferred the same colours as you but bought GM as soon as i seen it as well.

Yeah the Si was a blast to work with, and the reason why it felt faster it probably because it was a lot lighter than the nismo..
The GM just stands out, its kind of in between the PW and the MB lol, not sure how to explain that
