Dam thought atleast one other person from Hastings would be on here kindasad.gif
Heaps more people seem to be buying 6gens where i'm from now, used to just be Hondas that rolled round.
So far theres:

Mine!
Red SS-II lowered with gold mags - mint az
White with Lip kit, has RPM decals
White GT with white 16" Mags (Pioneer of the tint spray rear lights in Hastings! Then I did my tail lights after seeing his, now nearly every modded car from Hastings has tinted rear lights)
White SS-II with factory kit and mags
White ?? with Chromies and half kitted
A green one that made me think someone had stolen my car until I noticed the spoiler was slightly smaller and had diffrent mags rolleyes.gif
Red SS-II with GT4 kit and hood
White ?? Lowered with bigbore exhaust (Guy must of just bought it, haven't seen before)
Think there is another white one with a veilside kit too.

These all the modified ones that cruise round anyways, heaps of factory ones around.

Wellington here...I've seen perhaps two modded 6gens around. There's the occaisional 5th or 7th gen modded but yeah not really much. Plenty of stock 6gens around though...

Lol good****. Yea on trademe they got this cold air intake piping and hoses for like $45. You just got to hacksaw a small bit off of it and chuck a pod on. Makes the engine sound mean as like you've got a big bore. And gets the 3S-GE going abit harder.

Nice to see more people from NZ on this site. I havn't seen to many mod 6gens around either. Just alot of stock ones. I saw and old couple driving a 7 gen today which put me of buying one of those. It's like buying a car your grandmother likes kindasad.gif Anyway nice to here from you guys keep in touch.
the 7genC are pretty quick with vvtl-i 200HP with a 1.8L... I'll just plan it out first, have a few other mods to do...

Yes they are nice looking cars but I prefer the 6 gen. Is the VVtl-i engine in the 7 gen faster then the 2.0L VVtl-i engine in the SS3 or are they the same?
Yes you are right the 6 gen only came out with the VVT-i engine while the 7 gen got the vvtl-i engine. My mistake.
