ok i am going to pick it up in a few hours. from driving it already i can tell you some things about it. the suspension is a little to soft for its acceleration but not to bad considering its stock. the acceleration is pretty nice only down fall with the 6 speed is thst the gears are really close and you will reach redline with a quickness. I have hear alot of horror stories of people down shifting from 6th to 3rd smacking the rod/piston thru the block.


any requests as far as the pics to post

aside from the stuff mentioned above, how are the other options? Leather seats? Stereo system (Bose correct?), etc. what are the pros and cons about these?

mainly i have seen them in person but maybe get some motor shots, trunk, interior. stuff that you cant just see by walking by the car in a parking lot.

TIA

appreciate it man!

stero is bose and very nice sound with a 6 cd changer in the deck and also has a casette player. the leather seats have a great feel to them and are manual, the driver seat has a adjuster for the bottom level of the seat as well as the lover back. The interior is realy nice and you will like the design.

I am going to take some great shots for you on Sunday when i will have plenty of time, hows that sound.

One con that i noticed is as soon as ricer asshats see the Type S symbol they are going to ride your ***, I had no more than 12 miles in the car and was already a victim of an asshat.

yeah but once they see that Type S badge its over they wont leave you alone no matter what. I mean they will ride ur bumbper, ride next to you almost running you off the road while drewling at your car. This is all from experience from driving this thing foronly 80 miles.

my opinions of the stereo...it's okay. it may be great for a stock system, but i was expecting a lot more from bose(even though the products they bring out are just "okay"). the sibilance is very pronounced(which is a bad thing), but the bass is nice and punchy. most people will not understand, but i was quite an audiophile at points and spent a good amount of money on high end headphones, amps(for headphones), and recievers.

as far as the tranny goes, it's very rough, unlike the s2k's feel. besides that, i dont have any problems with it.

the seats are nice, but it seems that the seats will look like crap within 2-3 years.


i also paid 22,900 for my 06 type-s, but i bought it 7 weeks ago, so i think i got a really good deal

pics are up at the top. enjoy

i drove it to CT about 100 miles each way today and it rides great on the highway, when driving 80mph it feels more like 40mph, it has great acceleration thru all gears and the stearing wheel gives you a nice sporty feel. only down fall with the tranny is that while doing 80mph the tach is at 4k rpm.
