So... what are everyone's thoughts on Stromung exhausts? I keep eyeballing one for my car. The pricetag isn't bad, the sound is pretty sweet, and quite a few people seem to have it.

Fix your car before modding it.

You know how I fixed my missing 5th synchro? Replaced the transmission.

I normally just powershift everywhere anyway.

The only thing my car needs is a wiper relay module, and that's sitting on my dresser at home.
CDV delete is first on the list, then a Z3 short shifter, then an intake, and then an exhaust. In that order.

I need to learn how to drive stick

I always saw guys who drive automatic "sporty" cars as less-than-enthusiasts for driving.

That reminds me
i have a bunch of maintenancei need to do for the crv that ive been putting off

[SeanDub]

I don't feel like I'm less than an enthusiast because I don't know how to drive a manual transmission.

It's fine, it's a Honda. You can drive the car with the check engine light on, no clean oil, no oxygen sensors, and a bad spark plug it's whole life and it would still survive.

People can absolutely love cars and not drive a manual transmission. But, somehow driving an automatic anything isn't the same as actually driving using both hands and both feet. Automatics just feel like couches to me, no real effort needed.

That said, I wouldn't mind a big luxury barge with a big V8 and a slushbox. Cruisers don't always have to have manual transmissions to be fun. (but it helps)

I know
but im about 20k miles overdue on the accessory belt and. Havent done the transmission or diff fluid in the 30k miles or so that ive owned it.

Some cars just suck for it. My Prelude and my Accord are perfect- my fiance's Celica isn't even fucking close.


I have to make sure there isn't any heavy load on the transmission leaving 4th gear, almost like I slowly let off the throttle before shifting into 5th. It's not terrible when you drive it like a normal human being- but it's a pain in the dick when I want to downshift and pass someone like I mean it.

COnsidering the galant wasnt ever meant to be manual or sport well it doesnt surprise me

I kinda wish the GN was manual but then again no boost lag past 1st gear is fun

If the belt hasn't snapped yet, you're fine.
Transmission or diff fluid doesn't really need to be touched that often- although I used to do my old '96 Accord every other year (~25k miles), but it had 190k on it.
