auto, stick, whatever man those things are pimp, i love when we get infiniti's in for work, we have 2 little spots were the train goes over the road, i always punch it lol the exhaust is sooooooo damn sexy, and its from the factory!!
plus i like they way they handle, i feel like they are better then lexus by a long shot, drove some is300's, is250's, sc300's, and a couple others, their trans and steering feel slugish compared to infiniti, plus infiniti's shift pattern is far more aggressive when you step on it
i guess im a little bias towards japanese cars lol, ive driven some nice euro's too, and they have a lot of cool gadgets(im like a little kid when it comes to flashing lights and gadgets lol)
theres this 7 series that came in once, its really idiot proof its so nice, i accidentally closed the door only to were it clicked but not completely shut, and it pulled it in for me lol (see, like a little kid lol) plus the new x5? idk whatever the suv is, omg so many buttons! i could be entertained for weeks just pressing buttons! lol
the only thing that bothers me with euro cars honestly is just how unuser friendly they are, i understand that they want you to go to the dealer for work, but its not really fair or nice that they try to force you any way they can...no oil dipsticks, cartridge filters, external computer oil reset, triple redundant security, complex bulb replacement...oh and my favorite, electronic rear brake calipers for the parking brake.....so if you need to replace your rear brakes you need to have the scan tool to shut them off so they will push back in
you can just tell by how they design things that they dont want you to work on them
thats my only thing, besides that their nice cars, quiet, stable, luxurious, nice looking

well that i cant tell you, ive never gotten the chance to really take one out for a spin, but i will say this, ive done some maintenance on one, its basically a r35 without the crazy engine, similar awd drivetrain configuration, you can really feel it pull, kinda reminded me of my FD a little, has that sucking back feeling

Well, the other issue is how much would it cost to fix the electrical stuff and other unknowns in a chassis I know that is beat. I'll have to ask speed1 how much RnR is and figure out how much I can sell my chassis for.

Big thanks to Ray from TNC,
He helped fix my car on the side of the road 11 minutes away from Rotor Fest.
Its not a rotary event until someones car breaks down, it just happened to be the newest car there with the least amount of miles
semi hard launch from a stop sign, all of a sudden car bogs like its nobodies business, wont go anymore and i let off the gas... idle dips SO FAST, straight to 0. I pull off to the side of the road, try to start it and it turns over and then dies in 5 seconds.
Spark plug wires came loose on coils #1 and #4 (fixed by pushing on them)(did coils plugs and wires the night before, only had 70 miles on them at the time)
MAF gasket was broken (fixed with electrical tape, and bored out the middle with a knife)
2nd screen in my CAI was turned 90 degrees (fixed by turning it back around)
Car now idles better than it did when i first bought the car, didnt have any problems coming home either. Just need to buy a stupid gasket now before i drive it again.
THANKS RAY!!!

^ 3rd Gen is my favorite. After yesterday its clear to me that I must have one. I will have one within the next 2 years. ( I still really like my 8, and will be keeping it ) As soon as I pay off my 8.. getting an FD.

I have always loved FD's as well. You better get reading on rx7club if you plan on owning one. Ive been reading there for 2 or 3 years and have not scratched the surface.
talked to louie from Wankel Works and he suggested an aggressive street port for super light driving and occasional track duty. So i guess i dont need to do more research on that.
Also Rich from IRP told me about a track day september 29th, i think it was 200 bucks or something. Pretty good price i think. Ill be in school by then but i might try to make it out there.

Glad you were able to make it Eric!! Myself and 1st gen RX7 and two RX2 were heading out from Bridgewater and one of the guys (RX7) snapped his throttle cable 2 miles from my house!
Needless to say, my mountain bike got RAPPED from its brake & gear cables!
