Been driving my daughter's Black 92 SE this week as she is in Colorado. This way I get to find out what all needs to be fixed. Anyway since my Red 92 SE has a warspeed y-pipe and a Ractiv muffler the difference is very noticeable. You get used to the mods and the gains they made until you drive a stock car. When I get back in the Red, wow!

 

Ha a stock 89 thats down on alot of power (5 speed like my s10) feels like a dream as far as ride and power goes. The s10 is lowered and has a 4cyl. Has somelike like 90RWHP and no tourqe. The max... The s10

thats really nice of you! Whats wrong with her car so far?

 

Needs front wheel bearings, a couple of freeze plugs are leaking coolant, the clock is fritzing now and needs an alignment. Other than that it runs good!

 

one more question, what engine do you have in each maxima? noticed you got 3 of them.. ;p

 

3 VE's.... jealous?

 

3 VE's > 1 VG auto.....dam you

 

try this



fully modded VE, everything.... full suspension, performance, a few extra goodies here and there


take it all off at once



I have a VG now

 

Please, you still have power. I have to drive a 2.2L 4cyl, in a s10, which is just as heavy as our max's. And its lowered, 4in in front, and 5in in back, so it looks like crap, rides like crap and is slower then grandma in a minivan. gets bad mpg since I drive it like its a maxima. It could use a 6th gear on the highway.

I know, my daily driver is a 1991 Jimmy 4x4 4.3l

not exactly a prime candidate for passing people

 

my daily driver is a 6.6l firebird... oh how i miss my VE 5 speed for driving in traffic.

 

and gas mileage........

 

damn my dads durango is 5.0 and he gets about 12-13mpg i would hate to hear what ur firebird's is.

 

haha yeah the firebird has probably the worst of all combinations... a big block engine, a 650 4 barrel carburator, 275/60 tires, a three speed transmission, but i have learned to control my foot so now i accelerate like my dead grandmother. I used to accelerate like a bat out of hell with the VE and i would still get about 19 MPG, now i get like 15 if i baby my firebird.

 

Durango's don't have 5.0's



ask me how I know

 

Give him a break the "9" is next to the "0"

typos < idiots who don't know engine size

 

I drove Chris's car right after I swapped the jDm engine. Had an intake and Y. Was pretty damned impressed with the power. Suspension was a bit wavey but whatever.hehe

 

not so much anymore

still needs a FSB though, then he'll be set for life

 

Yeah, I added Eibachs/Tokicos, rear sway bar (did you drive it before you stuck that on?)

I also put on a blehmco rstb.

The wavey part is much better now.

 

oops, I forgot some things

 

I see you painted some red to match my car

 

not me

but Mr. Blehm did



only red one in the whole order

 

You also forgot to get me prices on those Z31 rotors.

 

I'll stop by tommarrow, gotta go to FedEx


edit:

and Chris, maybe I'll let you test drive the FSB sat

 

*drool* so all the boltons really make that big of a diff?

 

I've been able to drive my car for weeks, yet I've been driving a 91 Jimmy instead


you tell me


oh, the Jimmy gets <15mpg, the AC doesn't work, doesn't have much power, for some reason it blows hot air on you out the vents when you are driving down the highway (nice on the 80* days). Best of all sometimes when you signal the windshield wipers go off.


All because no fidanza no care

 

I was comparing a stock ve with your bolton ve... bad jimmy !!!

 

Go to bed MrGone....I think he's been up all night!

 

My VE is stock now





I think it would be safe to say I had more than bolt ons on it

 

someones gotta keep watch over you guys

 

This thread reminds me of when I drive the car on the right. (sig) It is old and tired with failing fuel injectors. But the one of the left chips second gear.

 

ut oh

someones addicted

 

even i knew that.......

i owuld be addicted too......

 

I screwed up and typed a 9 instead of an 8 when I gave a guy my phone #. i think the lady was a little po'd when he called 3 times trying to find me.

now I have to wait until sunday afternoon to sell my rims :cry:
