i was wondering if any 6 MT owner have experience the same issue. :confuse:
I believe it is normal though...it's just the more aggressive, visceral nature of this car. The tranny, shifter vibrations, and overal driving noises are not subdued and rubber mounted out like other cars like acuras and such...
my .02...but you get used to it...like the burble and popping kinds of noises the ehuast makes with the windows open if you rev the engine or let off the throttle cruising...

I have an '05 5AT Coupe with the standard 17" wheels and tires. I want to swap out the OEM rims for a set of ADR 17" wheels. I'm planning to put the OEM rims on a set of Blizzaks (I live on the East Cost). My question is can I fit 17 x 7" wheels with a +40mm offset on the OEM tires (225/50/17 front, 235/50/17 rear) ?
I know very little about the relation between tires and wheel sizes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

do you like the acceleration, is it what you expected before you bought your car?
Please let me know whether you did any modification on your coupe.
Thanks.

Yesterday I had an opportunity to have short drive in a g35 coupe. I had been concerned about headroom, I'm 6'5", 240 lbs. My neighbor's friend came over to show him his new car. A g35 coupe, 6 sp, a beautiful metallic blue with a light interior, had the performance package with the 19" rims. I called outside and asked the guy if I could sit in it to see if I fit and he (I know him) said sure. So I got in and adjusted the seat (with his OK) and was really pretty comfortable, leg room was fine, headroom a little tight but I could sit in there, wasn't hitting my head on the ceiling. After wiping the drool off of his seats I asked if I could drive it up the street, he said sure. So I very carefully drove up the street, didn't try and hit it or anything the car only had 400 miles on it. What a beautiful car!!!! Called my wife out to look at it as well.
This car has definitely moved up in my wish list for next summer when my lease is up. Don't know how well the 19" rims will do in the NJ winters, hey I'll get out and push it if necessary!
Might have to buy an automatic, I know its a sin, but I've got some torn tendons in both ankles and am due for some heavy surgery. Won't be able to drive a stick for about 2 years after that.

Those items were covered by the warranty so at least I didn't have to pay for the repairs. But I recently had to replace the brakes (pads and rotors). I've never seen such a poor design. I had a little over 20k miles on the car and this little "routine maintenance cost" was $1200, and I haven't really abused the brakes! The service rep said I did pretty well getting 20k out them! He said the Brembros we designed that way. I said what way, poorly? At the same time, he wanted to gouge me another $1100 for tires. I said no thanks, they are fine.
Just like any car though, most of this depends on the dealer you use for services. Unfortunately, the one near my house enjoys sticking their customers in the shorts.
And naw crazy, havent heard bout any x Coupe, now do you really need it, rear wheel is fly yah know_
Anybody have experience correcting the problem (i.e. getting a new spare)? Do they give you a hard time about it?
I have a 2004 Coupe 6MT.
Thanks!
I have 05 base model (not Bose) sound.
I think I should change those speakers. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Does anyone know if there are plans to introduce a convertible version of the G35 Coupe?
Thanks
