Hihihi, new STi owner

**Deceit** · 09-06-2005 04:25 PM

Sup guys.

Been registered here for years but never really posted. Just traded in my 03 350z for an 04 STi. Found her at a nissan dealer and ended up paying nearly nothing. I'm coming from a pretty long line of previous awd/turbo cars (3 gsx's, and a 420awhp evo8) so i'm VERY happy to be back

. the z was way too impractical for me and what I needed.

my old 03 evo (419 awhp)
my old pos 350z

and my new subby

Your "POS" Z looks pretty nice to me. I wish I got a Z instead of a wrx.

Anyway welcome and read the stickies

**ynotajb** · 09-06-2005 04:32 PM

welcome.. .cant wait to see the STi turn into a beast like that evo...

Welcome! A 350Z is no POS.

I seriously looked one over before getting the WRX. One reason I choose the WRX because it snows around here.

those pics are decieving, it's before all the damn body work i needed. i had like 10 dings, my ex keyed the whole driver side of the car, needed a new hood, bumper was ****ed up, the paint was in terrible condition.

not only that but
-the gas tank was huge and it ate gas like no other
-i live in nj and driving in the snow wasn't too fun, even with decent all seasons
-modding that car is a waste of time and money. parts are expensive as **** and i didn't trust that motor running f/i unless i built it. lots of time and money that i didn't want to have to deal with
-didn't like the visibility
-needed space. you don't know how much you miss having back seats til you don't have them

bunch of other stuff. basically, the z is a fantastic car, it's just not for me. i'm an all wheeler

Yep, I thought the outward visibility was downright dangerous. The storage space was laughable and the car is not very modable. Considering what I have spent on the WRX, maybe not modable would have been a good thing.

I considered a Z before the WRX. Visibility was bad, but in hindsight I think I could have gotten away with less storage space. (which was the only reason why I got the WRXover the Z). Oh well maybe if they make a 350Z replacement someday I'll trade the WRX for it.

**Deceit** · 09-06-2005 05:00 PM

i can't count the number of accidents i've almost got in with that car cause of the lack of visability on the sides.

oh yeah, the whole 2 seater thing kinda sucks when you can't trust your idiot friends driving. i swear to god, i'd rather be behind the wheel than some of my buddies half of the time

**ynotajb** · 09-06-2005 05:18 PM

a sight of true hatred of the 350Z

**D0WNxSH1FT** · 09-06-2005 05:38 PM

Welcome, congratz on the new Subie. Your Evo is amazing. Cant wait to see what you do w/ the STi.

You should talk Turbo Trix into doing Subie work. I have a friend from home (New York) who has a 2G GSX that knows them.

**Deceit** · 09-06-2005 05:55 PM

Pure hatred? I just explained the reasons why the Z wasn't the car for me and even said it was a fantastic car.

TTX actually just bought an STi a couple months ago and already begun work on it. http://www.turbotrix.com

**Rustyr6** · 09-07-2005 06:38 AM

wow some crazy cars out there congrats on the subi
