FunkyDragon Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I bought a 2009 about a month ago, and I've spent all of about 4 hours behind the wheel. This coming from a Neon for about 12 years. I'm excited to come home tomorrow and open her up on the highway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSDLegacySE Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Neon to a Spec. B. That's even better than my Geo Prizm to 2.5i SE. I drove the Prizm for 12 years too. At least now you know what you were missing. Have fun with the horses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV8TORSADF Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I went from a 2008 R32 to my 2009 3.0R LTD. I needed 4-doors as the 2-door was a pain in the @ss :-) Only 2 things I miss from the R32 is the DSG and the much better brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05GT Guru Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 From a 87 supra 517whp/2000 trans am 430whp+100 shot/1990 new yorker to a 05 legacy gt. I lost some power ( about 800whp lol) but got a fun, reliable car that i can DD. Supra was parted out and shell was sold, T/A was parted out and traded in with bolt ons only with the new yorker for the LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS5689 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Did anyone else go from a car that was faster than their LGT to the LGT? I know I did... I wasn't a happy camper before mods. I'm still not a happy camper with it....yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not a happy camper with it....yet. Yeah im stage 2 and it still isnt fast, but its quick enough for my DD. I suppose the 600rr will have to feed my need for speed for the time being. I will be getting another sports car next spring though. I cant wait WOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant wait WOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO If I decided to head out to Arizona instead of Maine, I have a feeling I would own a bike and still have my GTI. Nothing crazy, but something like a Ninja 600. Cheap, easy and quick enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing crazy, but something like a Ninja 600. Cheap, easy and quick enough for me. Yeah i live in Wisconsin, i only get about 5 months of riding but i love to ride. It helps me clear my head alot but ever sicne i got rid of my T/A i have been missing the muscle car feeling. So i will probably be selling the bike next spring to buy 2nd car. I love bikes but IMO i need a muscle car before a bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strizzy Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I dropped my specB off at the dealer yesterday morning for some transmission issues. Day two and I'm feeling a bit depressed.

Strizzy Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Solution is easy. Jump the Kia. Already did And it is fairly easy to smoke the front tires with some help of the hand brake.... Oh, and the hand brake no longer works anymore either , so no more drifting... My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyDragon Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Still miss my car. I'm off in Vancouver - the Spec.B is with a friend who i sincerely hope is treating it nice. The ride up to whistler mountain is amazing, and the whole trip up i was wishing i had my car! all the hills and turns! 3 whole weeks gone by and 11 more days to go... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDowell Performance Tunin Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Did anyone else go from a car that was faster than their LGT to the LGT? I know I did... I wasn't a happy camper before mods. I'm still not a happy camper with it....yet. My bike, 2000 Ninja ZX-9...much, much faster. But my car was a 2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V, which is a turd compared to the LGT www.facebook.com/mcdowelltuning [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Click Here for Stage1, Stage2 and Stage3 Tuning and eTuning Info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
