Hey Guys (and girls)

Congrats man welcome to the family. Since you've been lurking for the past year I bet you already have mods in mind . Well, we were snowed/iced in the last 2 days. Texas winter weather is not as bad as what you guys have up there but the problem here is we are not equipped to deal with it. If your car is going to sit might as well start collecting parts!

Congrats Sheck...

I too just picked up a Roadster. 04 Silverstone. I have been driving it for a couple of weeks and am just getting ready to put it away for the winter next week.

Can't wait for April (maybe even March...)

Cheers.

I live downtown and was driving all day, it was a great afternoon. Although the morning was really crap when I went to pick up my car.

The Volk TE Progressive look really nice.
But I have my radar locked on a set of super advan v2 -gold-.

I dont plan on touching my exhaust until summer, but I like the nismo.

Cheers,

Hey Sheck.

I am in Thornhill. Where did you buy yours? I looked around for about 2 months before picking mine up through a dealers auction with 17K.

How can you wait to touch the exhaust? I am touching mine daily (haha) b/c it's out when Santa leaves me a Nismo box under the tree.

Default Shows/meets?

Hey Zman

Watched ebay for 4 months, planned on buying an 04, possibly 05($?), but was able to beat up on this dealer in NY for 2 weeks on the 06. Ended up spending 2G's more than i wanted but "what the hell eh?", Its ONLY $money!!


Hey guys, being new to this, do we have any meets in the TO area?

And not to get sentimental, but this is extremely cool, I actually feel like I am part of some kind of family.

Thanks

[/me] hopes for a mild (snowless) winter. =)
March would be a godsend, but then again we would have to deal with the melting snow/dirt/salt/sand..*puts the z back in the garage*

I watched Ebay as well and then spoke to 3 dealers in NY state. Almost bought a blue 04 but the guy would not budge on price. Last I looked he still had it. Ended up going through a friend of a friend who is a broker and purchased if from me at a dealer's auction and had it shipped here from Atlanta. We'll have to meet up when the weather turns warm again.

Cheers.
