just drove the new malibu 2.0T evolved LNF, very impressed, ride quality is good, steering is very responsive, suspension feels very tossable, manual mode tranny holds gears for u and shifts are fairly smooth, all in all id buy one if i was in that market, interior is fairly nicely appointed too.

Rent one and throw a tune on it........anyone? lol

man if you were even remotely in the market a Cobalt is getting down right affordable for most;
An SRT4, or CSS are about the only compact/econobox cars built of late that interest me, aside from those, It's all about the Challengers, or Firebirds
Ok the new Mustangs are cool too.

There is NOTHING that GM is currently making that even remotely interests me.

what are you up to these days Nathan?

are you couriering cars that you drove one?

i had been working at Royal Oak Nissan for about 4 months as a warranty admin, i hate dealerships now with a passion, the chaos is not my cup of tea for a fulltime job and i ended up walking. I am currently looking for an Apprenticeship for residential electrical.

Ive been working part-time for GSL delivering rental cars, gives me a chance to test out most new GM's while i attempt to stay afloat and find an apprenticeship.

Had a taste of RWD recently in a friends G35 sedan, now i crave RWD lol. I cant fit a miata very well, s2000 is out too, a used boxster s maybe one day, or a used FRS perhaps..... .

i dont have the capabilities to devag the rsx, however i am able to debadge it for you if you wish. just show up when you wish.


on a side note the ac delete seems to have done exactly what i wanted. the iat2 is under control finally, by far better then the phenolic spacer. i watched the iat2 drop 60 degrees in less then 1 min. consistantly running 20-25 degree diff between iat and iat2

Hey Mark, I got the "A" off lol clipped in, no screws ftw, my thoughts are to rebadge over the holes with something, i refuse to do anything red like all the red honda badged cars all over the city now..........i will come see u tuesday or wednesday with a plan for the trunk rebadge. I have an idea for the front grille now, looks like a dremel is needed but i think the look will far outweight anything other rsx owners have done, and for much cheeper too. If im right all you need is a dremel, your old RSX badge, and some black paint.........we'll see how it goes

Mark did a sick job as always getting my badges off the rsx, looks much better and were gunna make it look good, thx again mark u rock!!

New rear calipers are $180 and then a $40 core charge. Not too bad of a price since I'll have them tomorrow as per waiting for a week for ones from ced and paying duty

I'm really thinking of what I'm buying for Christmas this year.
It's either a BPS shifter - right now I could get it and a 300 series know for $220 + shipping.
Or, a nice set of work boots.
