Oh my what an impulse buy - I love it!

So, i was looking for something cheap and simple and game out with a 2003 4dr g35 nicely equiped for 12.5 with 60k miles. Not the greatest deal but I dont' think all that bad. Its that metalic sand color that is fairly popular.

My wife is trying to hijack it already. Anybody got any tips on keeping her out of it?

Anyway. Hi from a new member.

3.5,
I did the carfax thing. I also had it independently inspected and they all said thumbs up. Its actually just a bit under bluebook which amazes me for such a nice car. I'll post some pics soon.

Anybody got any tips on the best improvments? I'm either interested in interior comfort or cornering. It already accelerates fast enough.

Maybe if I put some non adjustable recarros in there bolted to my size. . . I'm 6-2 and she's 5-2. . .

I'm sorry honey but my back hurts and I need these seats. Sorry you just don't fit. You'll be fine in the minivan. . .

Cheaper than a huge turbo.

See, if you had the smart key, you could just swallow the key. That way, when you pushed the button on the door, it would unlock. When you turned the ignition, it would start.

d, I'm a cornering guy (my other car is an old 911) so the turbo doesn't do much for me. Criminy, the g has almost a hundred horses over the sc.

DK, She would be giving me the heimlich all the time to get me to cough it up.

I'd go with sway bars, either hotchkis or stillen are the most popular on this forum for your cornering needs, and you could always do suede seats

This would work wonders until you poop it out, at which point in time you'll be s**t out of luck as your $300 key goes down the crap shoot.....literally
