If you are... you'll probably remember me!

It's Leo... the one with the black Civic that you have on your website... remember, the 'cool paint' on my car? I also met your European buddy that day... I forgot his name... he also drives a Bimmer.

I told you about my Civic getting written off back in October... and now... here I am on G35Driver. I never thought I'd get a G35, but I'm happy I did!

Glad to know you're on the forums!

Talk to you soon!
Hey! Of course I remember. Glad to see you here. I should have put the L+Tan thing together.

On those tire sizes; what options does Falken have? I am sure they have one with a similar rolling diameter.

Hey Kev!

I just added you on MSN.

As for the tires, I found some threads last night in these forums talking about this issue. I'm still not sure about the fronts... but I think a few ppl run a 245/35/19 for the fronts and 255/40/19 for the rear. I'm still doing my research and I need to use a tire calculator to verify.

Welcome to the forums and Congrats on the G35 6MT. The best way to enjoy the car is by shifting. My friend jusy bought the AMG C63, but he will be bored soon.
Also coming from Honda, you are now driving a rear wheel drive. This will also give you more satisfaction driving the car. GL with the G35.

G35 FTW!!!

Ohh, and I might bring my G37 or 350Z to Ajax/Markham this Spring/Summer. By then you will be great with the manual/stick shift.

6MT FTW!!!

Yeah, that's true. For a while here I was the only active member representing our great region.

You're too kind.

I tried to get my car out the other day and discovered I can't. Long story but bottom line is there is a stored car blocking me in that wasn't supposed to be. He isn't planning to have his out until May.

If I get my way we will have three of the best in the Maritimes. I already picked out a nice front plate for when I get there. Also I plan on getting my G back on the road on March 28th...weather permitting. Hope you get your G out before May.

Excellent. Sounds like you're making some progress on a move.

Thanks. I'll be figuring something out on mine so that it comes out before May.

Front plates aren't required here in NS so you can clean up the front of your car.

I will still have a front custom plate if I can get back down East. It will be a surprise. I applied for a I.T. job at CFB Halifax. Heres hoping!
