$4500. Local pickup in Maryland only. I'm parting with my dearly beloved DE5 so therefore I will be parting with the equally beloved CE28Ns. I bought these new in box from another forum member last November, they've only been on the car for a handful of days between autocross events. Below are...

$2200. Local pickup only. Trading the car so the dependable "OEM Plus" wheels have to go as well. Below are some pictures on the car, I'll take more in the coming days or upon request, along with tire tread measurements. My estimate is ~4-5/32 but I will get this confirmed along with pics...

This is the most pedantic thread I think I've ever seen in my life, on any forum. The culture here is heading in the wrong direction.

Let's all be honest here. This is the single biggest red flag in this whole thread. Highway rolls are not what this car is about. Look at a G80 or Dark Horse.

So, if you don't need the rear doors, there's plenty of argument to be made you are selling your budget short. It also depends on what you actually want out of a car, what your intended use is, etc. All of what you mention are great cars. All also something that will very likely be looked at in...

I feel like every time someone asks me to talk or post about the car it goes straight to "wax poetic" territory and character counts tend to reach extravagant lengths (and you caught me at the best possible time, the 2nd cup of coffee before workout), but there is reason for that- some of it is...

Coming to a forum dedicated to a particular type of car is going to give you exactly what you expect. People here like the Civic Type R. Kind of a prerequisite for going through the motions of registering. I had to google both of the cars you referenced. I consider myself a pretty avid car...

It's a sedan, why wouldn't it be a good daily?

Sure. But LITERALLY clutching your pearls and acting like gods be DAMNED if I let some teenage lube tech touch my fine motorcar (because that's what they all are... I guess that's better than a crackhead lube tech but they're not mutually exclusive). Some of us are busy, lazy, or (gasp) might...

You're right, I backed off but you caught my ninja edit which is kind of creepy by itself. I'm not perfect and know there's a line that's easily crossed. Feel free to continue to report and if the admins share your views I'll accept whatever they decide. I do suggest you find other topics to...

I'm not in on your joke, but it seems you're pretty effective at entertaining yourself and that's all that matters. I'm pretty good at that too. Probably literally the only thing we have in common.

Again, you won't see me disagreeing. For something like an oil change, it's almost trivial and the risk drops to something you can 100% control. I'm here to tell you I get it. It's just the nature of some of the comments in this thread, it just makes my skin crawl. I'd name names but some of...

Enthusiasts = know-it-alls I won't disagree that there's probably higher risk in having the dealer do the oil change, so if you're risk averse you're better off doing it yourself. But you people act like you're handing over your firstborn child to be circumcised. Look up "pearl clutching" or...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

What's shocking is riding someone's nuts while also claiming you're ignoring them.
