Hey guys. I have just recently picked up a 06 G-coupe 6mt black with black leather, fully loaded with navi, and 19inch factory option (rays i think). I just have a few questions about your experience with the car.

1. Before i start asking questions that may seem negative i must say that this is by far my favorite car... ever. The handling is unmatched, and it is also extremely comfortable especially long trips. In short i Love this car.

2. Do you 6mt owners ever feel that the transmission becomes what i would call "stiff" when the car is extremely cold? Like does it sometimes feel like the shift linkages are binding when the car is cold?

3. When driving the car in a spirited manner, is there some moderate clutch slipping present?

4. What are the major weak points in the drive line?

5. What would be a safe and reliable way to get the car down to the mid 12s?

6. Oem brembo breaks... Are the worth converting to?

7. What would be a decent reliable N/A setup? Ex. intake, intake manifold spacer, headers, exhaust?

8. What would be a decent reliable FI setup? Im personally leaning more towards a supercharged setup...

9. Suspension setup recommendations?

Feed back would be appreciated.
I will attempt to post some Pics.

Thank You

 

Search much?

 

looks good

i'll answer some of your questions

yes the transmission is a little stiff when its cold, depending on how cold it is outside it will go away when the car warms up, in my case its about -10 to -40 outside.

no the clutch shouldn't ever feel like its slipping, atleast i've never felt this other then in my brothers old sunfire where the clutch was starting to slip

 

The car was an old Lease car... so i have no idea how the car was driven before i got it... it only has 38000 on it... the clutch really is not slipping that much. it just has a "smooth" engagement when running through gears. It just feels to me that it should have some more positive engagement.

and sorry about the search. I was mainly just looking for other peoples general opinions about the car and introducing myself. so i decided to take care of that inone post instead of multiple...

 

Congrats...
