    I was using the 355 as the daily driver and the more I drove it the more I realized the previous owner was a tard. So i went out today and got a 2004 Honda Integra Type R. In America they are like 25-30K I got mine for 12K. Japan, go figure. 2 reasons for getting this car. 1) Honda has stopped the Integra Type R. You will never see these cars again. 2) when in Rome, do as the Romans do. I live in Japan, might as well get a Japanese car.

    I will take about 2 months and really fix up the 355 and drop the engine and do all the services needed. When I sell it in October, I hope the next owner will appreciate it more. The military taught me to get rid of it in better condition then you received it. Hopefully karma will come around for the CS. lol

    I dont have pictures yet but I will post one of what it looks like...

    Cool car man. A friend had one here back in 2003. Took me for a spin. Very cool car. :) That cost him AU$60K back then. We get screwed on cars here in Aus. :(:(

    I can fix a VTEC. had a 98 spec type R. No absolutely nothing about turbos. If i did get a Skyline, it would have to be a Nur Spec. None left.

    Although its not my daily driver. Had taken the 355 around the track and got the bug - though it may be less expensive tracking this. Doesnt look so good but it goes - about 4 seconds a lap faster than the 355 round the local track.

    Xavior nice choice - sounds great going into the vtec doesn't it!

    Xavior, great choice of car.
    Its sad you are getting rid of the 355, but I can respect that- you never seemed to really enjoy the car with all the problems you had.

    You are getting a CS?

    I am not sure yet. I may keep the 355 just because I have put so much money in it and go ahead and get a CS along with it. Still thinking. 355 is fun, when it works... lol

    Thanks mate. I know. :) I love the 355 and 512TR wheels. But also would love to have 355CH wheels also. Plus...........I have seen alot of very nice wheels like the ones pictured on the 348 you have posted. Too many to choose from sadly. :):)
