dbrunone Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I bought my Spec.B because I loved the Alcantara blue interior, and love the idea of a bulletproof transmission. Since you are not modding yours, the trans might not be as much of an issue, so I might have to say go LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEWMAN Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I wish navi was an option on Spec B because I will pull it out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spect2k Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 ^^ it's so much more than a Nav though, it serves numerous other functions such as service reminders, rear defrost time, mileage stats, and many other things for example....But I guess if you don't need it for the navigation, it is not worth the money. I don't see how people wouldn't benefit from it though, no matter how well I know an area, there are always places I don't know, maybe want to find a nearby restaurant, and anyway, I do tons of travel...

Vimy101 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I wish navi was an option on Spec B because I will pull it out anyway. I'm addicted to the nav/info system. I'm friggin' hittin those damn buttons like there is no tomorrow. Checking' GPS vehicle speed, changing map views, checking fuel economy, etc., etc. Drives me crazy but man do I ever love it!

dbrunone Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Yeah the nav on my Spec is much harder to use than my Garmin, but once I got used to it after a few months, I realized that it is actually much more powerful. Now, I dont really mind it, except for the fact that the maps were made in 2004 and the updated DVD costs $238.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked up the updated ver 2.0 DVDs, i'll need a few months of use to see if the maps and business database is improved much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrunone Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 ^^ Yeah....When I lived in Charleston, they had just rebuilt a bunch of bridges and stuff that were destroyed in a hurricane, and my gps got so lost....i was driving over empty water a lot of the time :-O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly any reports - are there any? - of failures even from heavily modded Stage 2+ engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah true, but the transmisisons on the last 2 cars I've owned have torn themselves up and costed me several thousand $$ for rebuilds...so knowing my luck, I'd rather get something heavy-duty. Plus I know a dude with an STI 6MT with 550whp and 120,000 TRACK miles on it, and no problems from the original trans. Can't beat that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimy101 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 ^ Aside from one post I recall about a second or third gear getting smashed by a missed shift during a timed drag race, I don't think there have been any 5mt failures. That bodes well for the 6mt. Thankfully, weak trannies - even EATs -don't seem to be an issue for our cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
