Lucked out and found a car identical to mine a few hours away (save the small difference of theirs having a 6MT and mine having a CVT), and was able to bring mine in and trade. Saving money on the payment too since the overall amount financed is less than what I ended up with on my first 2010.
So now, I own a 2010 3.5SR in Super Black with Red Leather and a 6 SPEED MANUAL. FINALLY. I'm excited.
Unfortunately, I left the y-pipe and the Tein Springs on it (just was not a lucrative endeavor with respect to time or money for me to remove them), so someone in Gainesville, GA can find a low mileage, 2010 AC in Super Black/Red Leather with Teins and a racingline y-pipe at the Carriage Nissan dealership.
Let me tell ya - it HURTS looking at the coupe at stock ride height again, but it is nice not cringing at the sight of potholes or speed bumps. The Tein S-Techs sit REALLY low (much lower than eibachs) and while looking good, they're just not suitable for daily driving if there are terrible roads in your area.
Anyway - now having the 6MT opens up several modifications avenues that were previously denied by the CVT. I believe I'm thinking LSD and turbo.
Just thought I'd create some traffic on here. Haven't been online in a while, and some of the topics that were floating around a few months back are still around, and not because they've been active. haha
Cheers and happy new year!
