Brooklyn! Haha nice car dude... Btw, how the hell can you have a 6MT in this city?!?! I go back and forth to class everyday on the SI Expressway and wanna kill myself, and I have a 7AT... Imagine having to switch gears on that ridiculous highway, not to mention the other traffic on the lovely Island of Staten... Anyways, congrats, take that baby to the Garden State where you can really open her up!

@G37xNYC - I drive to LI from Queens for work, so it's reverse traffic. I'm not minding it so much right now (in love with the car). I'm sure there'll be days I hate it.

I feel like the 6MT is a little noisier than the AT.

I feel like I hear the tranny more. I guess because you can feel it through the gear shifter.

I live in queens. I take the grand central to the northern state. I used to date a girl in bay ridge and took the belt or bqe. Both were hell during rush hour. Especially the belt.

I gotcha... I actually dated a girl for a little bit in Bensonhurst lol... But yeah, NYC roads are horrible, not to mention that the speed limit is only 50 and the roads are horrific... I guess the tranny is louder because you're shifting it yourself and yeah, like you said, you feel it through the gear shifter... I drove my friend's 6-speed 350Z and noticed it was really noisy as well compared to a regular automatic.

how's the ride quality with those springs? i'm thinking to get coils.

btw for the Spacers get H&R brand ... otherwise possibility of the wheels vibrating

Ride quality is close to stock. Not bad at all.
