Still, even w a hardtop (which I love) it's no coupe.

Aside from the hatch was there any difference between a convertible and clown shoe? Didn't think there was such a price difference

rarity.

everybody loves the story of the skunkworks BMW team designing these cars on coffee breaks and weekends.

obviously it's 1000000% stiffer. :gay:

twitchyzero 04-30-2020 10:18 AM

the clown shoe definitely seems like an acquired taste but i'm glad they made it...i can't deny its road presence and it's head turner like the Turbo 5

e86 has the more classic coupe/fastback sex appeal

One of the very very few modern cars I would want in my stable. Just as sexy on day 1, as they are now.

I agree. I think I’d want the z4m coupe over the 1m. Obviously im not saying it’s better, just my personal taste

Yeah they're typically filled with Burger King wrappers and needle caps.

Maybe we should all e-mail him with our thoughts.

Would love to see them reply with "I didn't ask for your opinion dumass" kinda reply :lol

I posted this on the last page, kinda leery with it needing a retune on such a modified engine.

The tuner is no longer at the shop where he had the ECU tuned, so at this point, it's going to be a $24,000 car. :D

jing 04-30-2020 09:23 PM

The last time I bought a turbo car with a questionable tune, I blew a HG in the middle of Kingsway right in front of a ramen joint where a few of my friends were conveniently dining. They had come out from inside to see where all the smoke was coming from and found out it was me :lol

Do auto crvs have any Honda transmission issues? Thinking of one as a beater

If I remember correctly, you can't get an OEM bushing for the rear knuckle, it only comes installed inside the actual knuckle itself, which is $$$.

Also the torque converters get all weird once you're near 300k.

Also, Honda loved fitting insufficient brakes onto all of their SUVs, CR-V included. My Element, as well as other high mileage CR-Vs I've driven, all had warped rotors. The rotors on my Element kept warping over and over and over again, it was the most fucking frustrating thing ever. When you change the rear rotors, the fronts warp, then the rears warp again, repeat by infinity until you get around to doing a TSX brake swap or something.

When I had mine, it was still fine around 430,000km..... Just had to replace an transmission pressure switch(easy diy).... Although it was still driving fine with the CEL/Code. Id say it wood also depend on the previous owner/owners.

Jmac 04-30-2020 11:47 PM

My parents have a 1st gen (98 I believe) that they passed down to my brother when it hit 400k (replaces it with an 09) and he’s still driving it. I’d imagine it’s well over 500k now and, to the best of my knowledge, no major mechanical issues (unlike his Range Rover piece of fucking shit which has been sitting in their driveway for like 6-7 years)
