New seats for Boxster, problem solved.

I took her on a test drive of a C2 2004 with better seats. She complained that the ride was too stiff...


I seriously cannot win....


she wants me to get a gd suv...

My fiance doesnt want me getting a two seater anymore

Subaru's/Mustangs/and a lexus is all I can get for my next car.

S2000 is out

Thats it !ballmode is moving in and my wife is moving in with his girlfriend!

I tried to rationally discuss this with her and all she says is that the car is uncomfortable for her.


I did get a little wounded and she said ok as long as the car has a back seat I can get what I want. I said how about a hearse..
she did not think that was funny.

I thought there were more than a few blown G35s. I know I will be contacting GTM for their SC when my warranty expires. 400+ HP in a grocery getter sounds awesome.
Currently I have a new exhaust, springs, FSTB, and a few minor upgrades. My Volks and swaybars are going on next.

there are a good amount of them but not AWD ones from what i read on the boards. There are SOME maybe a hand full but thats about it. Same would apply to 1st gens AWD. I would be boosting but i dont know/want to test how much that AWD system can take. I know the VQ can take the boost of near 350/350tq but no idea how much my AWD system can hold up.

I would think the awd system is protected by the automatics for this very reason.


Anecdotally for anyone interested never order anything from C-mod grilles. I ordered the JDM grill for my g 35 from them 2 months ago. They send a coupe grill and now expect me to pay for shipping to them and wait another month before they send me the right one.


I am getting paypal involved to get my money back. anyone need a coupe black emblemless grill?

the HR should be able to take quite a bit more. A GTM Stage 1 SC pushes power to around 500hp. I've got most basic upgrades done (loving my Hotchki sway bars) so FI is my only option .

I just opened my own office and if everything works out as planned, I'll have a factory blown, awd, 2 door, 3.5, Castiel-special in my driveway in about a year.

GL with the move RKS! I just put my neck out there as well opening up a third business so its sink or swim!!!


I thought about a GTR as a reward for the hard work the last few years but still just cant seem to think its justified. The reports that feedback via the wheel and overall feel being numb just scares me a tad too much.

My reward car next year will either be a grand sport maserati-used 40kish or a full restoration project.
