I just love letting my 6MT slightly roll backwards and watching other drivers panic like the other day there was a bus driver right on my tail and I was stopped on an uphill at a redlight and as I let my foot of the brake it gently rolled backwards towards the bus and it was freaking close but not my fault the guy decided to be on my A$$. I bet he panicked at some point !
On the other hand I felt like I should finally say this but I have decided to slow down with my mods as I finally have come to realize the priorities ... that is paying off the car quicker so then I can totally focus on all the mods later on... at least for now... that being said, no coupe or any wheels for me anytime soon, no coilovers/ spring/shock setups anytime soon... no custom painted headlights, no Uprev tune , and so on and so on... sucks but oh well
... I'm definitely going to hate how Chris is constantly making progress modding his G with all bunch of stuff...so that being said I might not visit here as often as I have been, but definitely am looking forward to the April's meet, Chris you got my # so keep me posted, please as my inactivity here might reflect my knowledge regarding the meet 
Also since I haven't been on here for quite a while here are couple pictures from Saturday, the 8th when aktif8 (Keith), Choman(Kevin) and I met up in Morristown,NJ and chatted for hours about our cars( mostly) and what not !
Both or all cars ( including mine
) sound great and I was amazed at how much work aktif8(Keith) has done to his car especially a lot of it all DIY's himself ! The CF steering wheel he recently put on is sick ! feels great and gives a great grip, although not something I would spend $1k on. Choman(Kevin)'s 6MT sedan on the other hand sounded great with the FI RHFCs and CBE

The black sedan, that's Keith? He's coming in April, right?
I'd very much like to see a roof spoiler installed on our cars up close.
I meant to the cars *next* to me, not behind me. All that happens to them is they press harder on the brake, thinking they're rolling forward. I wouldn't do that with cars behind me, that's nuts, because what if you screw up? Truth is, I like playing with the clutch at a stop more so for the connection to the car than messing with other drivers. The occasional shocked look is just a bonus.
Here's another admission... just a few weeks after buying my G, I accidentally bumped a car behind me while my clutch was in and the car was so-o-o slowly inching backwards without my knowing it. I thought he had hit me, and got out of the car to talk to him just as he and his wife cut me off both saying I had rolled into them. They were honking and everything. It was a very awkward moment when I realized they were right.
Humbling, and embarrassing, but I'll never forget it. Fortunately, no damage except to my ego. Just a big lesson learned.

Yes the black G, that is Keith and he is coming as far as I know!

good for you!Have really been enjoying the exhaust, definitely happy I went with the 12 inch resonators. John, the FI with 12 inch resonators "might" give you the loud you want.
The only down side I can identify to the exhaust is the fact that I have the 7AT and the search factor becomes very pronounced. Ah well, it is what it is.

Someday's I want to get new rims like the Coupe S Rims but then other days I see shots like this with the Sedan S (mine is the same as the one all the way to the right) rims and I fall back in love with them. . . . . .
Anways, was wondering, whats the going price for used Sedan S rims w/ tires? How about the Coupe S rims w/ tires. . . .?

I've seen used sedan S rims go for about $900-$1100.
Coupe S rims go from $800-$1600. Then there are those who don't do any research for them and post $2000+
Mostly on forums.

That's what I've been seeing them for average about for the past 2-3 years. I think knock off $150 and you've got a deal. Selling sedan S rims...to me at least, is a whole another story.

A quarter past stripped
How much do you guys think my 2010 sedan OEM rims could go for? They are the 17" fugglys. LOL Like new condition wrapped with some BS tires that still have 85% rubber left.
