exactly.........350z and G's are some of the simplest cars to work on, easiest to repair and cheapest to buy parts from in that caliber of car..

where you gonna go when something goes wrong with a TL?? Acurzine??? honda owners dont know ish about working on cars.......

Hey Jake or Jason, either of you think you can help me put some TRD springs on my Corolla ?

I want to lower it a little. I got me some Tc rims and just want to get rid of some gap.

Dude. You guys are going overboard. I never said I was going to get a g37 I just like them. I know how much they cost and know they are over my budget. The cheapest one I've found the lowest g37 for like 23-24.

Still don't get why you are stuck on hating hondas and acuras. Ive had plenty of help with my Acura when I had it.

That reply i think Nexx ran with.........its vague enough to seem as though you are considering one..

Let us know what you get.......good luck finding what you want..its a buyers market in this economy so im sure you'll do good finding a deal....

i dont really dont think the G37 is a sports car but it can double as one if needed. it more of a cruiser. i like the previous gen TL's and they are a bargain right now.

Ok I'm on mobile right now so I can't quote but on the insurance topic a couple pages ago, $200 a month doesn't seem outrageous to me for a young driver in a sports car. I pay $198 a month with nationwide for my z and I'm 21. I know that's high but I don't feel that it's rediculous or anything. Of course idk what the rest of you are paying but I'm sure it's considerably less considering I'm probably one of the young bucks in here.

Hey Jake,

PM or text me when we can set up a time to do my springs on the Corolla.

I'm in no hurry....also give me a price also.

Another issue, I can hear some clicking on the rear wheel/axle...sounds from the right side but not too sure. It only clicks like once.....usually right when I start from a stop. I hope it's not what I think it could be !

you talking about the Z on the clicking? Thats not too hard man - just tedious. Prolly something we can knock out in an hour if its the AXLE click.

Will PM you on Corolla spring install.
