I am Just wondering if do you thrid gen owners still floor it in your third gen. If you do, aren't you afraid to blow a head gasket or problems and how often do you do it?. Well our cars aren't getting younger and i would like to know who still does it? I myself do it like once a month or so on a boring day cause it does feel good

 

um, YEAH!!!! if I have get a problem, it would just be an excuse to do some upgrades

 

Pretty much every time i drive it...

 

sorry but my option isnt there cuz i have dis bad habit of driving fast....thats why my license was suspended for 3 months cuz i got 4 tickets together

i dont really drive fast anymore cuz i m more mature now

 

No street racing talk. period!

Keep it clean please.

 

lol alright....

 

what about the option for "heck yea! all the time!". all the poll choices there are either 'no' or 'maybe'..

that wouldn't be the choice for me anyways. my ideal choice would be "not usually, but every so often I just can't help myself"

 

but the thing is that no one floors it on every light or stop sign

 

Absolutely, especially with warpspeed now. But still very sensible (even after sp2 and other mods goes on).

 

yeah i just got the car from my "mature" cousin who didnt put it over 3 rpms unless someone had a gun to his head now that i have it i cant help but flooring it,,,, its an old car but she still runs alot better then the new kias and cheap hyundais (cheap not the good ones)

fatty

 

i still do it but just to hear my intake and exhaust other than that im not worried if it breaks down. thats why i have spare parts laying around. but for now i have to wake her up tomorrow morning after about a month of hibernation. but it still drives like a dream. can't get too use to my new toy gotta go back to the maxima to share the love.

 

pretty much every time I drive it...

 

you know whats fun do a burnout at a stoplight but watch the light as the other light turns yellow and your is about to turn green gun it


its a great way to practice launchin and oh yeah its legal

oh yeah and hankook ruulez

 

precisely where is that legal? pretty much any cop i've ever met will pull you for reckless driving if you spin tires on dry pavement. wet is understandable if you're like me and have crap alignment and bald tires (working on it....), so whenever i launch uphill in the rain i just have NO traction in 1st. I just let 'em spin through the whole gear so as to not roll back.

 

u let them spin in whole gear? that must be interesting for other drivers to see that lol

 

dude if burnouts were illegal my *** would have been locked up a long time ago i do a burnout everytime someone turns my music off because a cop is at the intersction and they think we'll get "arrested" i have been tailed for a few miles but never pulled over

 

I hate people that cause trouble just for the sake of causing trouble.

You can get a ticket for having music on too loud, and you can get a ticket for doing a burnout [reckless driving]

 

They're probably just dumbfounded by your audacity. I never do burnouts, but if the roads are desolate and it's night time and I'm trying to do a 0-60 test or something I'll brake launch for what it's worth (damn auto). Other than that, I probably floor it at least once every time I drive it. I like to know my performance is up to par and that my rough time estimates to get to a certain speed stay the same, I rarely beat on it though.

 

burnouts are illegal here in Texas (exhibition of speed)

 

I floor mine form time to time. I took it to 138 mph here in CA. I`m more afraid of loosing control due to aerodynamics,slippery road or suspension/steering failure then blowing the motor/trans...lol

 

I am so cheap that i can't see my tires wearing out ,not even a lil bit. That's the only reason i don't do burnouts.

 

No burnouts for me here, but during the morning rush hour (and to a lesser extent, the afternoon) you'd be hard pressed to try and merge/change lanes without getting into the higher RPMs. It's actually worse on the surface streets a lot of times than the beltway...no one wants to get stuck behind the damn bus!

 

i haven't pushed my SE yet to the limit, why bother???

 

I floor my car everyday, weather permitting. i have been pulled over for burn outs, luckly with out tickets. i dont do burn out now because tires are so expensive. but on a country road ill punch it just to see the old cars still got it! 208k and purring like it was new.

 

Take a dose of adrenaline and go for a REAL drive man....
Hell my car sees redline at least 5 times each way to work. 3 highway merges means at least 3 runs from a stop to 80+ to merge with traffic.

Cars were meant to be driven. don't be such a pansy.

 

3k :eyepop: I'm keeping it under 2k. Gas ain't cheap and unemployment doesn't pay that well.

 

meh it's either that or lifting in 1st (big ol' engine brake) and everyone sees the car thrash around (3 torn mounts.. refilling soon w/ poly). but basically I just shift into 2nd asap (shift-in RPM ends up being really low, like 1000ish, but at least then i can point my nose around a turn). and i had someone else try it to prove i wasn't just a 'stickshift n00b' and he couldn't launch it any better than i could but given that my front tires look like the following pic, i don't know how you can do much better.



still gotta do my LCA/tierods/BJs, get the last rim unbent, tire mounted, and aligned first... ugh. come on paycheck friday!!!! (next friday ftmfl)

 

what're you doing in unemployment? ppl aren't buying enough parts from you?


hey everyone!!! buy some stuff from brian so he can afford to grow a pair and put the pedal to the carpet!!!

 

yep all the time

hey cape get your car alignment done damn

 

I do some times. It all depends on my mood. Usually when something or someone on the road made me mad.

 

that was the old left front tire on wingnut.... you remember what the tires looked like in feb when i bought it from you... that's what's left.
actually had to pull over and wait the rain out last night on my way home, because I could not keep the car between the lines even at 10-15mph UNDER...

our IT guy is a 25+ year mechanic and works at a shop nearby on weekends. He said he'll give me da hookupz, yo!

 

Yeah and then when someone is racing to beat the light and obliterates the side of your car (and your spine) you may understand how retarded that is.

 

the amount of money I have made off the org recently I can count in my head.

 

I just got a new job, so when I get some of my bills paid, I will need some stuff

 

the only time burnouts are acceptable in chicago is during the puertorican day, mexican day etc parade.
other than that you do get a ticket stating display of horsepower crap.

and as for me...i floor her almost evryday of the week.
if you maintain your 3rd gen then it shouldnt give you any problems.
and if iirc i have'nt heard of a stock vg/ve blowing a h/g.

plus the main reasoni do it is if she does'nt perform well in the top end then somethings wrong.

other than that i love the sound, the response, the get up and go for an old car.

 

You can drive it any other way? I floor it all the time, love to hear that VG roar. (Seriously need a WSP Y)

 

With only a lil over 100k on my 91 se and a new ACT clutch.Once i break it in, and put this ball joint in tomorrow.Think Ill floor it when i have too!

 

I cant really say I've floored it or pushed it to the limit... I just feel like thats really hurting it and wearing everything a lot faster. I always try to just relax and enjoy the ride

 

I was being sarcastic

 

I floor my ve about once a week. I don't hammer it on a reg but I lean on it kinda hard cause of the high pitched whine that comes from my short ram. I had a vg w/ a 3A Racing daul ported muffler I didn't have to lean on that it always sounded like it was at the track running the 1/4.
