Hello everyone,
I finally found the G I wanted and bought it a few weeks ago. I picked up a Diamond Graphite 2006 6MT Coupe with all the options. I have clear corners (RETURNED, Didn't fit right), polished z-tube and a K&N drop installed now. I changed the oil last night and put some fresh Mobil1 in (Mobil didn't last too long, OC = NEW ENGINE). My plans for the G include forced induction in the near future, although I haven't decided on either Turbo or Supercharging yet (JWT TT or PowerLab ST). I have built and owned two low 12-second Eagle Talon AWD's in the past so I am very familiar with turbocharging. O ya, the front license plate assy you see in the pics is gone now!

My next set of mods will be the Power Lab 3/8" spacer and MREV2 followed by Hotchkis Sways, Project Mu Pads w/ ATE fluid, Motordyne XYZ pipe & VQ Exhaust, Osiris from Uprev, Megan RTP's, Amsoil 75w90 differential fluid, a cat back exhaust system. I have heard a few sound clips online and I'm leaning toward the Stillen true dual system. I would love to keep the exhaust note as close to stock as possible. After that I will need to pony up for some new wider tires 255/40R and 245/35F Falken FK452! The stock tires have been getting abused lately .

EDIT: Since this post has been revived, I made a few changes (BLUE = have, RED = decided against). I think I just about covered it for now.

 

My 04 is at Jackie Cooper today to get the seat track replaced, which is probably where you bought yours.

Hope you have at least as much fun driving yours as I've had with mine.

 

congrats on your G!! looks like the mod bug bit you already lol

 

Congrats on your new ride and welcome to the 'Driver boards, twin001. Looks like you have figured out on which direction to take your G in. Enjoy the ride.

 

Regarding Jackie Cooper, I did not buy it there. A 2006-2007 6MT was a must, and I was picky about color combos. I ended up driving to Fort Worth to pick up the G. There were around 10 in the DFW area I was looking at. Stupid me even got a ticket on the way back!

I was at Jackie Cooper yesterday though, I picked up a few oil drain plug crush washers because I changed the oil out to Mobil1. The guy at the parts counter gave me 10 for free! I also had to pick up a front tow hook cover. Anyway, check out my post for a Tulsa Get together in the South Region forum.

I do love to go to Cooper though and drool all over the Porsches on Sunday's though. We do that every now and then prior to our weekly Wal-Mart in Bixby trip. My soon-to-be 3 year old is just like his daddy, he loves cars!

 

When I bought mine 4+ years ago, I hadn't even went in to the dealership before buying it. I had gone to the OKC dealership a couple times looking at the used ones, including one that was nice except for the interior color. The salesman upset me though when I stopped in to check on whether they could find me a model in the color I wanted, the salesman told me he would call me back later that day (he had another customer when I arrived), then he didn't call. The tulsa dealership was willing to look around, and found one in Missouri exactly how I wanted it (except it was my second choice in color). And quoted me a price less than I expected. I didn't see my salesman until I showed up to pick it up.
