Hi there, I've been with Hondas and Type RS for years, currently with a supercharged Champ White FN2.
So I do like my civic but I got listening to some of the 350/370 V6 engine clips, with a cat back or even a muffler delete they sound pretty good and I can see myself revving at idle looking like an idiot because it sounds so good. But then I thought well a standard 350 doesn't stand out to me. The 2015/16 nismo I feel looks fantastic, my favourite car under 30k but more than I should be spending for now. A stock 370z in white kinda took my fancy with black alloys ideally but still a bit plain until I realised you can bolt on the nismo '15 plate bumpers on there for a reasonable price? I wouldn't back it a full on rep just the bunkers. So I have a projected planned, I could sell my civic, add some more cash and get an 09, 10 plate 370z then stick the nismo bumpers on. Would these definitely fit on ok? I know the DRLs are expensive.
So then the problem is, despite not having heard one person to fully commit myself I know these are 326bhp but a whopping 1600KG? So with that BHP/tonne I feel like it might feel mighty slow considering my civic is 340bhp and only 1320kg, some 260bhp/tonne so the 370z should be considerably slower. Does the 370z feel fast being so heavy? I know they've got good low down torque which might make up for it but I just hope it's not a let down. As for remapping, with a stillen gen 3, high flow cats, and a good cat back... basically full bolt ons with a remap what could I expect? 350bhp? Or more? Is it like K20s where a 3" provides the most power? I've no idea on brands yet but I'd want a cat back that is loud enough to open up the engine note to its potential but not too loud. One with long tips sticking out the end would be cool too but that's something I'd have to look into. Does a decat make considerably more than a high flow cat? The brakes look decent as far as valises go but are they enough for such a heavy car? I'd imagine them fading quite quick. I'd of course get better pads and braided lines.
I think if I could get 360-370bhp it might actually be a match for my civic if that's possible without boost 😀
Some pics of my FN2, if anyone wants to trade their white 370z I might consider, plus cash
Thanks
