gear shifting from "P" to "D" "P" to "D" "P" to "D" .... making that

clanking noise do u guys know what im talkin bout? i mean it shifts

fine, it smooth and short throw (at least shorter throw than civic)

"wussup" with the double spacing it in the first post, nice Z.

Yeah get used to that clunky sound, we all experience it. Especially when you hit the clutch to switch from 1st to 2nd after a cold start.

That civic is wayy sexy too, do you have more pics of it..?

its not just you bro, we all have that noice. And dasoup called it, 1st to 2nd after a cold start is the worste. But youll get used to it quickly, dont worry

the transimission on the Z is a "bolt action type"it is noisy...I came from a 02 RSX-S so I know how it feels to go to a car with no torque to a car with crazy torque. I got tired of the FWD setup too.

Transmission is noisy, if it makes you feel unconfortable. Go to your local dealer and test drive the other models. This way you can eliminate the doubt in your head. We all know that peace of mind is priceless.

You made a great upgrade!!!

but front wheel drive sucks....

Minus the elegant tail lights on the civic that car looks better than my Z, considering the only thing i have done outside are mad eye lids and smoked signals.

heres another thing you might want to start off with too..

it really cleans the overall look of the car, then if you have a buddy that happens to drive a MkIV Golf or a TC you can give them the old 350z antenna in hopes to help them achieve necessary h0rsep0warz.
