Default Turbo, but then...

.....decided I needed something more practical for daily. Dumped all the money into a new Si. Not as fast as the Z of course but I like the added room and 8k redline.

edit: The Z will be my afterwork, fun, night, weekend car now.

Love those things even though they arent the best looking civic. I think you made a good decision. I mean, I'd much rather have a second car than just one fast car that might break down.

Congrats on your new car.

But one thing I would not understand, people fix up their cars nice and fast but they can't or don't want to drive it. Fix it up for a weekend car? For me, I would enjoy driving my car hard until it die on my right feet. Once it dies then forged internal comes.

Good pick. A buddy of mine has a Black one. It's quick and handles well too, so good choice for the money.

I dont really understand this ... I guess I just dont view Z's as weekend cars. Its not like its a high end vehicle that you want to spare milage/wear and tear. The Z is a practical sports car made by Nissan... Its just not adding up. Good choice on a daily driver and Im not bashing ... I just dont see the point. Daily driver = 20-25k approx .. and your "weekend car" = 20-30k ???

I agree with you, 350z's are not highend cars, I did buy the Z brand new back in 2005. Some people on the forum have daily beaters and only put about 5k miles on their Zs per year. Mine used to be a EG Civic, now its a coupe.

No offense to anyone but Im very much not into Altimas, any of the years.

good choice. its nice to have all the parts on the z but it is more worth it to have a whole other car in addition to the z instead

If the Z is going to be your fun car and the civic your daily, why would you dump money into your daily and not your "FUN WEEKEND CAR"?
