I've never seen it before.
If it isn't too much of an inconvenience, perhaps you can hook us up with the link? (Sorry, feeling kind of lazy right now. :beaten: )

I think he is referring to the Civic Coupe. I saw a pic on Yahoo!'s homepage, but here's the link: Civic Coupe

Not that bad. Kind of reminds me of the Celica and the new Nissan though. Idk. Like a mix or something.

Still nicer than the Civic I had, before I turned it into a 'Pepsi can'.

the landrover dealership where i used to work there was this guy who bought a new discovery and promptly drove it in front of a truck! :hehe:
he was unhurt apart from his pride. 40,000gbp ( $65,000) to go 20 yards!

soo thats where the 1,001 HP comes from..

lol I like trying to squeeze the extra Hp from a smaller engine :P

Also to say, VW is not going to market the car... LOL it's bad enough I've only seen two people that own the VW Phaeton.. and after I found out the price, I can see why.

$106,615 for a VW lol no way.

wouldn't mind having a ferrari F430 body style and a 200hp engine...

lol I will post a video of my car, Man if I had the money I'd put a wrx 2.0 engine in it, with it being lighter then a WRX it should be faster.

I just like hearing my car I guess lol, and no I don't always drive werid like that.

LOL it would never sell under the VW brand.

Ugh, one day after my b-day, my differential lets go. :bleh: :puppydog:

It's gonna cost me $4500... :sweat: :puppydog: :bleh:

18 Sep 2005, 10:52 #1356

wow... that really sucks ass...

$4500.. is that just for one or both?

My car's RWD, so I've only got one diff... But it's shot, as are the half-shafts and drive couplings.

I think I'm gonna be sick. :bleh:

18 Sep 2005, 11:09 #1358

wow $4500... I take it, it's new?

Hell it's like $1300 if I wanted to switch out my LSD in the Forester.. it's a bit weak, and I can feel it when it starts to transfer power, if you go slow enough and the wheelspin is fast enough to cause the Fluid to heat up you can feel the rear end kind of wiggle then it goes stright.

lol but it sucked on ice, takes too many rotations for it to heat up, Which is why I would like one with Spring loaded clutch instead of fluid.. But then if I go around tight corners under power I can get some wheel hop.

lol but not anytime soon.. $1300 is ALOT to spend on one item, and let alone $4500.

Yup, it's new.

The fact that my car is 11 years old doesn't help the cost either, I'm sure...

And the fact that the dealer is doing the repair. :bleh:

Not much of a choice on a Saturday. :sweat:

18 Sep 2005, 11:12 #1360

speaking of that.. does $4500 include labour?

Please don't say no....
