Never made a snowman :( been sunburnt though.

Civic sounds like the better car,  1. It still drives with 372,000km  2. It doubles as a snowmobile what more do you want.

 

 

It has been a very reliable car to say the least, still on the original clutch!  Just had to use the snow blower to clear out another foot of snow this weekend:mellow:

Yeah, heat is good, I don't mind the dry heat, good swimming weather.....but the humidity this year has been hard to put up with.  If I wanted humidity I would live up north ffs.

And you can stick your snow [sorry Josh]....I live near it [aussie style] and hate the stuff, PITA.

I guess on the bright side, every Spring thaw must be like Christmas since you get to pull the wrapper off the GTR again. Driving the Civic would be like a reset button on your concept of a quick car.

You could always pick up a G35X for some quick(ish), cheap(?) Winter thrills.

I used to drive a modded Subaru Outback turbo for a daily but now I drive over 1000km a week so I got myself the hand me down civic from my father when he bought a new one but then I got tired of fueling up twice a week so I bought a beat up tdi Jetta wagon that's coming up on 500k km but goes almost 1200km a tank. Now its to damn cold to work on the gtr, the engine needs to come out to get the shortblock rebuilt with some forged bits and new bearings. Then after that's all done I have a pair of -5 turbos and all the supporting bits to go on.

    • Pulsar gtx3076r (.83 exhaust housing), ID1050cc injectors, full radium fuel setup, forgot pumps, Greddy intake mani, mishimoto intercooler, koyo radiator, 6boost top mount, custom exhaust. That's kinda the gist of the build
    • Not sure exactly, but I had a 20det wastegate on my 25det stock turbo lol
    • If you like how loud the car is now a resonator behind that mid muffler should help with drone and not effect the volume much I've added resonators to a few aftermarket exhausts before specifically to reduce drone, volume really never changed, but cabin noise hwy cruising was much improved......with great success   
    • Well, that's why I left Shannons. First they made us pay the excess after a taxi hit the z when it was parked. We supplied the rego and police report, they didn't feel any responsibility to find the owner and would not pay for the repair until we paid the excess.  Then our house (insured with Shannons) was broken into, and the safe containing spare keys for 9 cars was stolen. Shannons tried to tell us that as well as the house excess we had to pay the excess for each car to key them rekeyed (ie almost $10k in excesses for one theft event). They backed down on that after we went through the ombudsman but we left them after that.
    • Am guessing the "steering wheel shroud/cover" you're after is actually the steering column shroud?
