Hyde great story. I try to keep track of us early 03 guys. Have you dyno'd? Results?

 

^needs to lower his car

 

Klubby, I have 2 sets of springs(coupe/Z) and some Coupe shocks sitting in the garage. No time man, no time. (19 month kid). Hell, I haven't even attempted to do the Crawford plenum again (1st time leaked). But that was before everyone put two gaskets on vs only one.

Wed, the car goes to the dealer. Climate controls freaked out Sat night.

 

^I see. Well when ur done dropping it, it's gonna look 10X better with the coupe rims. Just make u sure u shave/roll the fender.

 

I'm going to try to use the Coupe rears to avoid the fender thing. I curbed one of the 19s sat night. Wahhhhhh!

 

Even on a stock sport suspension i had issues when people sat in my car or when i was driving in the canyons it used to rub on stock springs. So either way i think u are going have to do it plus it will look better with lower springs.

 

i dont know what insurance company you have, but coupe and sedan premium is identical, the coupe's comprehensive coverage is a couple bucks more per 6months and thats it

 

When my 03 coupe went in for a recall they hooked me up with an 05 G35x and holy **** did that thing move. I was very surprised but I liked it, but I couldn't get a sedan. I do like how alot of the modded sedans on the forum look but I had no need for an extra 2 doors and the coupe is so hot. ~D:

Now I just gotta think of a way to drop 1-200lbs off the car so I can keep up with you modded Sedan owners. :P

 

If you dont need the two extra doors, I'm guessing you don't need the extra seats... ditch em! That's alot of weight right there

 

Wow, I'm getting all fuzzy. When's the last time we got the coupe-love?

In all honesty, I *really* wish I would have gotten a coupe. However, had I gotten the coupe instead, I likely would have been like many of the other coupe owners --- meaning, I would have just assumed that my ish was faster than the sedan.

 

sometimes the coupe looks really good, other times it looks fat and out of shape.

Most times the sedan looks really good, a select few times it looks too paris hilton. But--thats ok. Thats why the sedan benefits from stagered rims with 275s in the rear.

 

One reason I didn't buy a BMW is too not be associated with punk attitude that many seem to get when they buy thier first >30k car. As tho it or a G35 coupe are somehow the end all be all of cars - just because "I" have one.

So glad I didn't buy the coupe. As good as it looks, it's a waste of my money..especially after going to the track and smoking coupes and Z's. I'm too damn tall and am not in need of overcompensating for anything. I don't need to be seen and look bone stock. So for those of you who actually care about whether or not your seen in a soccer mom car, enjoy the clean chrome of tailpipes!

If you need a car to make you feel better about yourself, you'll be over the G quite soon. It's a nissan product that has been around for 4 years now. And don't forget for every coupe owner bashing a sedan as mom car material, there are 5 Porsche, Vette, Aston, Lotus or Viper owners thinking the same thing about the lame sub 40k coupe wanna be sports car. I love farking with the goobs that have to look down on someone to feel better about themselves. Get over it - someone will always have a better car than you.

I love the new Passat megaphone commercials with the guy in a coupe screaming, "I make more money than you!" Just my kind of car - low ego emissions, just like the sedan.

 

lmao, those new VW commercials **** me off so much. As if every VW owner is humble and none of them buy a car to make a statement... And saying coupe owners are trying to compensate for something, that's just plain rude.

 

It's directed only at those who deride the same exact platform as the coupe in it's 4 door format. It's just fun to take jabs at immaturity, even if it's immature

And you're right - as a Touareg owner, I don'f feel all that humble. It's got A-8 luxury and gets 15mpg. And how ridiculous is the size of the badge up front on the T-reg? My old passat was a simple mans 3 series that didn't get purchased by people who need to be seen in anything or need sportyness, for that matter. They are spot on with the marketing IMO.
