These aren't really replacements tho. More like additions.
Anything you can do to a smaller displacement can be done to a larger one and yield more hp/tq.

Imagine the vq with a set of twins :lawl:

That's a very good deal on the M3 given the mileage.

you can't say you'll only settle for an Aventador and 458 then come back and recommend a G37 :ilied:

Drive my wife’s G37x sedan on an almost daily basis it’s a fine car for a daily. Very comfortable, most options, more than enough power for anything and the handling for a large, heavy, luxury sedan is not bad it’s better than expected I’d say. I recently drove the crows nest up to penticton in it and I was passing cars oin the windys over 100km/h comfortably

I get it ya completely different cars, but unless you’re taking that evo to the track or at the very least autocross sitting in those recaro buckets everyday would get tired quick

Not to get into your discussion, but just wanted to say I kind of expect that from any new vehicle, let alone a sporty car

Hondaracer 11-05-2018 12:56 PM

The handling sure, but I’d venture to say most cars don’t have the power for overtaking in those situations

good thing that m3 isn't 6MT

You could say that about pretty much everything on here, especially the modified stuff. Almost nobody is using their vehicle anywhere near its potential on a regular basis (myself included) aside from the handful of people who do AutoX or go offroading often. I could maybe get my wifes Matrix to the limit on my drive to work, but my Celica or Jeep? Not even close.

Most family sedans with the optional turbo engine/V6 and similar SUVs should have enough power to do that. I mean... a Camry has over 300hp nowadays in the V6 model. It's ridiculous for power. My Accord V6 definitely did not have problems passing anyone on the Coq and the Crows Nest in any location. If anything it needs more tire, because it has problems putting down the power.

2012 Accord Coupe V6 HFP (automatic) 129k km, $11,550. Do your research as it is a shady Kingsway dealership.

even before all the repairs/maintenance

the S54 drinks premium @ 15mpg city :heckno:

at least the E92 M can justify it with a V8

JDMDreams 11-05-2018 06:34 PM

^^ doesn't the v8 have con rod problems? That's why prices are tanking?

2005 TSX 6sp for $4800. Looks pretty clean.

They have rod bearings problems but then again so does the s54 so If you buy it, I hope you diy the job.

tofu1413 11-05-2018 10:30 PM

both have rod bearing issues on the earlier models.

both are sweet sounding engines... and would be classic motors for the years to come.

naturally aspirated, high compression, individual throttle bodies....... stuff that don't really happen anymore.


get one while you still can!

The ad states no accidents. Shit I really want to get into one of these to see what the hype is all about but damn really don't need another car lol. How's the dct compared to 6apd? I'm getting old and have wouldn't mind taking a break from manual haha

lowside67 11-06-2018 06:59 AM

The DCT is awesome. I am very casually hunting for a 0 option white DCT coupe (specifically no nav or I’d be calling on this one) and for me the DCT is absolutely the only choice. I want to race it and it is such a huge advantage it’s silly. Not to mention all that sexy throttle blipping it does...

The ad states cryptocurrency ok. Maybe it's just me, or i'm just old, but that usually raises my suspicion.

Allowing the presence of a Nav to be a deal breaker seems a bit odd to me. If the rest of the car meets all your requirements, why not just take the nav? Worst case scenario, you swap it out yourself, no?

to some people its more important to get the exact spec + price you're looking for

I justify it as meant to be vs I'm compromising so time to walk
