so just about 3-4 months ago my clutch was ****ing up it would not grab and it was starting to feel different. I went out and bought an exedy stage 1 and had it replaced about 1 month ago and then yesterday it ****s up again after work and i had to get my car towed home only to find out that its not the clutch but the ****ing whatchamacallits( metal things that connect the tranny to the stick not sure what its called i'll post a pic later) break. should i be expecting more problems in the future? thanks guys

Shifter cables are jacked up? mine pops out of gear every once in a while. It sucks. I have instructions if you like on how to replace them

shifter cables(?) yeah i think that sounds right but yeah its not that it pops out its that it snapped. i have an uncle thats a mechanic he's already on the job but yeah i had to buy the parts from the local dealership for $129. my question is should i be expecting more problems in the future?

nah i think you should be ok. i think thats more of just a wear and tear problem. did you buy your car used? maybe the last person would ram the gears into place, who knows how it got weak.

that problem is pretty isolated though, when its replaced you shouldnt have any problems with anything else connecting to it.

its honda ingenuity, to use cables instead of shifter rods doh, i prefered the shifter rods

350z's are nice but not fun for dd if you compare ti to how much you pay to drive it on a daily basis, hope you like buying supreme gas

 
Rep Power: 0

the supreme gas isnt a problem and yeah it might not be fun but a 350z is alot faster than my em2 and im young and i want that faster sportier look.

 
Rep Power: 0

BOOOOOO on 350z !!! I'd go with a G35 if you want to go that route.

 
Rep Power: 0

nah go 350z, not the woman version g35

 
Rep Power: 0

This discussion is completely opinion. My friend has a 350z he wants to give the thing away half the time because of all the trouble it gives him.

 
Rep Power: 0

well g35 was my first choice but i cant find a used one at an affordable price. ive driven both but the 350 is just more my style. but im probably going to end up with another honda

 
Rep Power: 0

how are you "young" yet can afford a 350z or a g35? they're expensive. cuz i want in lol. however i do really like the around 2005 g35s coupes. the ones that were really angular before the facelift and g37. plus it has one of the best (imo) stock exhausts ever.

 
Rep Power: 0

you will come across one just be patient. get a s2000 if you stick with honda and want to upgrade.

 
Rep Power: 0

i can afford those cars cause im 19 and i live at home go to school and work like 30 per week hours im not saying im spoiled or anything its just i only have to pay for gas and my phone bill and i help my mom out but she covers the major stuff. and im looking for used not new. s2k's are dope but not for me.

Go for it. I bought an '02 EX in '04 and totaled it in '06. So I bought the Z new in '06 and haven't had a problem since. Tires are kind of expensive however...

what sounds more masculine? "I drive a Nissan 350Z" or "I drive an infinitti g35" infinitti's make me think of owners that wear slack and penny loafers or mandles with a tiny starbuck coffee in their hand with a little dog that smaller then a cat

 
Rep Power: 0

haha yeah the z does sound better.
silver surfer-your car is clean man.
as for me ive narrowed down my options im not gonna get much for my em2 so im going to fix it and keep it as a project or i found an acura for a decent price rsx type s already modded with a cai and a catback

RSX-s are good cars... What year?

 
Rep Power: 0

its an 05.

You might want to check on insurance for the different cars before you decide. If you buy a car and then find there is a performance surcharge on the insurance it can get very expensive. It may not be problem but it can't hurt to find out.

It depends on ur driver record..

05 Rsx is nice too, u going love it.. My boy has a 06 and it has a nice vtec sound..

 
Rep Power: 209

Yes and no. Insurance is based on the vehicle and your driving record.

...and your age...and if you are a male or female...and if you are married or single...and where you live...and if it is garage kept...and how many miles it will be driven to work...and the amount of coverage...and amount of deductible...and if it is part of a multiple vehicle and/or home owners policy...and your credit rating...etc.

 
Rep Power: 0

insurance rates will stay the same for the rsx but will be raised for the 350 so im still conteplating i really dont want to give up on my civic but a new used car would be great because i cant have it keep breaking down on me.

 
Rep Power: 209

It seemed easier to control insurance costs by checking if a vehicle had a higher premium than getting a sex change operation, getting married and moving closer to work.

No doubt, just felt you were oversimplifying a very complex formula. Case in point, I just bought insurance today for the car listed in my sig below. My rate on this car is approximately $600 a year, yet for my single 18 year old daughter who still lives at my home, it is over $1800 for the same coverage (deductibles, amount of liability...etc). It is for the same car and we both have spotless driving records. I however am a married man, soon to be 46, own a home and have my homeowners policy & auto policies (3 vehicles) with the same carrier. All 3 have the same deductibles and are driven about the same amount of miles. None are garaged. My credit score is over 700 (she doesn't have one yet).

That rsx type s would definitely be a good choice if you stay with honda/acura. Its got the k20a2 with true ivtec and its 6 speed. The first mods that I would do to it if I where you is get lsd and kpro then start with the rest.

Also, its a long lasting car...

 
Rep Power: 209

I understand. I simplified it down to vehicle because of all the factors, except amount of coverage, it is one of the few that you can actually change, at least in a short time. As someone that has been hit with a performance surcharge previously, you realize that if there are two cars you like and one will cost more to insure, which do you really want?
