Hey lil fella, slow your role. I didn't say you were an idiot... I just said you seem to think, speak and act like one. I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. You're so angry you can't even use the quote function properly.... how do you mess that up??? :lol:

And the brakes are fine now. The guy said they'd be mushy to start... and now they are firm. So there was no problem besides me being impatient. I have done everything from engine swaps to suspension rebuilds to audio installs etc. I did a lot of fabrication to put my motorcycle back together. I can turn a wrench. Brake bleeding is literally probably the only thing I haven't done on a car, and it wasn't just the flush... it was spending a weekend in the hot NC sun swapping out brake parts. Fuck that, not spending my day off slaving away is worth it to me. So yet again u jump to conclusions and have no idea what ur talking about.

O wait- u MEANT to do that, right? ;)
On a phone, so grammar suffers, as does the ability to properly quote. And you implied I was an idiot,  and in a previously unrelated thread, out right stated. I could literally go on about the bullshit you say in this thread - on this forum. The difference between you and me is that I know the score.

You don't have a clue about my past experiences.  Currently I do not own a bmw, the last one had major engine failure at 60k. I'm saving my money and hoping to get into something on the higher end. Lots of nice vw's out there, I hope to pull the trigger soon. Would look nice in my garage with the other exotics.

"We upgrade to Porsches"

Like I said, VW's.

Hey congrats on the garage whatever is in there.

Still, a GTI is no upgrade from a BMW in the vast majority of cases which was my point. It's also most emphatically not an exotic.

No, too busy

Realistically, probably not gonna happen till next year. Got a 5 figure check coming for some freelance stuff then, so I will probably buy the TSX then and sell the Z in the height of the summer.

So tempted. 30 MPG on regular all day. He keeps dropping the price, he's getting desperate.

Is there something wrong with the wheels? They look like they are the wrong size.

A guy that I used to work with had a Integra GSR 4 door, nice car but probably hard to find.

AutobahnSHO

Looks like it was lowered, but agree, rear especially looks "off"...
Will

Those are stock wheels. Well stock GSR wheels. It is lowered, that will have to be addressed. That is a GS so no VTEC, no premium fuel. Nice little cheap runaround, just have to see what shape it's in. Looks good though

I bet base mini's are getting pretty cheap, pretty poor in the usability spectrum though.

Reliability too. This is only 200lbs heavier, but is faster etc etc. Personally I never understood the value proposition of a Mini... they are fun to drive but pretty expensive and not great to own.
Protecctor of the Atmospheric Engine #TheyLiedToUs

FlatBlackCaddy

There isn't a value proposition to the mini.

However,

In S form it is a stylish alternative to other "premium" hatches, such as the GTI. While being a pretty fun performer.

Otherwise it doesn't have too much going for it.
