bored of my 05 g 6mt coupe, HELP!

well im pretty bored of my car. its an 05 i bought it new. it used to be black but i had it painted toyota snow white after a tree blew over on my car while i was at work. jams and engine bay fenders were painted, bay itself is black...
mods
1. eibach pro kit
2. kenwood double din with kicker zx750 amp and cvx 10 custom box
3. rhd battery cover
4. k&n drop in filter
i plan on getting the dark gtr wheels, i know alot of people dont like them but im not a fan off huge lips, and i found some for about 1200 wo tires, so if i got falken tires im looking about 2000-2100 total, so imo not bad.

i need to go buy spc camber kits as i eat through tires and plan on putting tokico hps on while im at it.

ANY suggestions to make me love my car again? ever since i bought my bike im just not as excited to drive my car as i used to be.... i feel like i only drive it when i have to, ie rain or hauling something or taking wife somewhere.

thanks for looking


box i made. amp is flushed on other side

why im bored

Get some performance mods like an exhaust, spacer, mrev2, motordynes new ART pipes. That'll give the car some pep.

unless you go all out, your car will never match your available street bike performance...all I can suggest is get involved with your local club scene, buy some new parts and maybe hit up an HPDE event

Haha, I feel ya. The reason I am sitting in this wheelchair was because I couldn't stay off the bike...until a woman driver forced me off. Bottom line is you still need a car even if you have the bike. Unless you plan on stepping up to a faster car, just keep it. As said above, you cannot compare the performance/fun of a car to a GSX-R...just doesn't work that way. I say keep it.

I love both mine the exact same. I just know when I want to go fast, I hop on my gixxer (08 600) and let her rip. When I want to just cruise, relax, and enjoy the ride... I hop on the G. You just gotta separate the two and know which one is for which. The G will never be as fast as the bike (unless you dump a ton of cash into it). So, make it something that you enjoy looking at and relaxing in. Because you know as well as I do, that you cant really truly "relax" when you're on the bike. Too many cager tards that dont pay attention....

ya i know it wont go as fast as my bike, just maybe something to get over the boredness, was thinking of maybe modding my headlights or grille, but i get bored so easily if i do i will prolly get over it rather quickly. hopefully i will like it again after i get the rims.

Go riding on a 119 degree day in AZ in stop and go traffic and you will appreciate your car a lot more. I wouldn't waste my money on mods, it will do nothing to quench the thirst for speed and the sheer excitement on being on two wheels.

Get performance Hankook tire like Ventus v12 evo. They are cheap and good at street especially in the rain. Will cost less than $650 for 4 tires.

what he said.
I have my car for bad weather-ish/long trips, my little bike for going (somewhat faster) and saving gas

Dude with a bike like that your adrenaline rush will be from the bike not the car, just get use to it. Honestly save the money on modding your car and have fun with your bike
