kit, install the mods in my room, oh and a 96 prelude, ( dont worry Im keeping the max)

 

Today, I have my rear deck stripped, and my doors torn apart.

I am rebuilding and raamating the rear deck. The deck is ported for the subs, and it needs a little stifening. I am deadening the doors, and I will do the matching leather panel mod.

Stage II In May
Konis
2k Muffler - custom Bpipe
Reienforce Sway Mounts - ST Sways
WSP Subframes
Powerslots and Metal Masters Up front
Goodridge S/S Brake Lines with fluid upgrade.

Maybe, JWT ECU
Custom kick pods to custom 3 way ADS front componants.

$$$$$$$$, The only benefit to being old, and oh, knowledge don't suck either.

 

Why does everyone want a 2K muffler, is there somthing special about them or somthing? What do you mean reinforce sway mounts? Just adding sways or is it somthing different? Thanks

 

Yeah, 3rd gen's are old alright (I love them to death so there's no flame here). I still think its pretty funny that these 10+ yr old FAMILY SEDANS have more torque than a brand new S2000! Yeah, Honda sure has come a long way. You know what it all boils down to? You can spend $400k on an econobox, and make it the fastest car in the world. Though, you'd just have a $400k ECONOBOX and there is nothing that could change that!!! Enough ranting from me.

BTW, just thought I mention this to you guys. I've been having lots of little problems with my GXE lately. I was coming home and going through a 4-way intersection. At the exact moment I was wondering if I should keep my Maxima. I mean I love it and all but I couldn't afford any huge repairs at the moment. Anyways, almost immediately after this thought passed through my mind, I pushed the gas a little and it downshifted a few gears then went WOT (okay, I floored it ). Well, all those bad thoughts went away when I heard that VG come to life! Because of the high buildings nearby, the sound was amplified and tons of people on the sidewalk or near vicinity all turned and looked at my car. I had the windows down and heard one guys say "Damn!" and give me the thumbs up! Sorry to get off topic but I just thought this was a real cool incident.

 

hmm..if i were to fix the lifting edge of my spoiler, how would i go about doing this without breaking something?

 

These are the mods I am going for, in order hopefully.

18" or 19" Rims and tires
UDP
JWT ECU - If I can ever find some info about someone using it and noticing a big difference
Some kind of catback setup - prob the 5th gen muffler and WSP B-Pipe

I will have to see how much money I make this summer but the Rims are #1 on my list.

 

FFX email me quick and check PMs!! its about the ECU!!!

 

Yes, thats true, i do like that, but......I get sick and F**KING TIRED of ANYBODY with V-Tec beating me. Every time, I take them off the line, but after 2nd, they pull ahead, every time. TIRED OF IT.

 

My plans are to get new rims, Install my indiglo guages that I ordered, possibly do the BMW conversion...I don't know how ambitious i will be when it comes down to it...thats all i can think of for now...i'm sure something else will come to mind later on..

 

2 K Muffler has a variable flow setup. At higher gas flows a flap opens a second chamber. This should work well with the VE VTC set up. Plus it is quiet like stock.

Aftermarket Sways use the OEM mounting brackets and very often break them. The 2k will need a custom B pipe while it is at the shop for welding I figure it would be a good time to get the subframes and sway upgrades done.

 

my summer project is to find a gf that owns a gs400 so i can mod that(at her expenses of course)

 

mod that, or mod her?

 

call me simple but if she owns a gs400 she wouldn't need to be modded. My attention and eyes will always be too busy on her car to pay enough attention to her to even care.

 

Dude, thats not right.

 

yes, yes just realize a 10 year old 160hp engine doesnt cut it anymore in 2002, where most stock cars come with over 200 hp.

 

True that. But this is about the maxima enthusiast in you not *just* about winning races, yes?

 

just completed brakejob: 4 rotors, 4 pads, 1 caliper.


This summer, finances permitting:

FSTB
RSB
Eibach Suspension drop
Tokiko struts
17" Konig Subzero's
Kuhmo Rubber
Hella 550 Driving lights
APC headlight harness
80/100 9004 bulbs
Foglight rewire
Tranny rebuild
New clutch

 

ummmmmmmmm something does sound right with that statement

 

our cars are old, so i just like cruising and gettin some ladies in my back seat!!!

 

most cars do NOT come with over 200hp, especially the family cars.

funny how the 10 year old VE can beat most $20K+ new cars.

 

its kinda sad though, i wish i could rewind time back to 92, 93, 94 where our cars would be brand new. For a second car (most likely another max) id love to get another 3rd gen VE but increased age, mileage, and wear on these cars may force me to sell out to a 4th gen

 

thank you for beating me to it. i love seeing all these commercials for new cars that advertise 130-160ish hp. i'm thinking wow, nissan did that for me 10 years ago.

 

lol i love laughing at the ads for cars like the new Civic Si "Introducing the all new 160 hp Civic Si" 160,

 

yeah but those are kinda like an exception....since the Civic is generally seen as slow 4cyl. car, a 160hp Civic is actually an improvement over the norm plus its not even a V6!! but yeah I guess Nissan can cay "been there, done that" when it comes to making awesome 160hp+ cars in the early 90's!

 

nissan had a 4 banger that made 160hp during the 90's???
it's also kinda sad how the civic si is only a 4 banger but it has the same amount of hp as our vg and at the same time save more gas. also you throw in a turbo in the si and us VG boys will never catch up with them even with all our mods. Sad sad sad, i guess when it comes down to it, the only reason why we still keep our vg is mainly cuz of sentimental reasons, not for for practical reasons.

 

naw, naw I wasn't saying that....it kinda got jumbled what I said. too lazy to explain....

 

hmmm i would love to get another 3rd gen after mine dies but they would be just too old. I wonder what the equivalent to our 3rd gens will be 10 yrs from now besides a 4th gen. hmmm dont know if that makes any sense o well

 

Getting some 2001 16" wheels, tinted windows, and maybe a Y-pipe.

 

summer...selling the max and getting a WRX. TURBO AND INTERCOLLER!!!!!
sorry to say, but the max will have to go

 

I don't believe in modds and won't even put one near my slow max! I am selling it and getting a real power hungry car which will be a Kia Sophia. I will drop a 1.8-liter twin-cam 16-valve EFI 4-cylinder in it with a quad T6 turbos You just what I will have it doing the 1/8 mile in 17 seconds. Honda=Bandwagon=followers

 

yah its called the Sr20det

 

i meant for the us market thou
of course if you look at the jdm engines there will be something like that around. Heck i bet you can find one too for honda. But nothing like that here thou.

 

It is also funny how my VG rips VE's A$$ muhhahahahahah

 

You know what im going to do this summer?.....Sell the max!!!

 

Now he has to put about 5K into a Honduh in order to keep up with a Max. I've beaten two Turbo civics in my stock Max and they spent more money on the turbo upgrade then i did for my car. During the summer my main goals are suspension and modifying the car to fit 245/40ZR17s. 205/40s are for Honduhs.

 

I doubt you beat turbo civics!!! Especially off the line your car weighs a ton and civics are alot lighter than the max and then add turbo!! I hate Civics but i know i cant beat a turbo civic!

 

nope...i can't either.....but my new WRX will!!!!!

 

Hey Pearl93max, if you get a WRX, make sure to get a really good 3" aftermarket exhaust. Oh my god, I've heard some WRX's lately and they sound like they have friggin SBC's (small block chevy) in them! All flat engines seem to have a damn nice sound to them. Guys, check out this place http://www.clubsi.com/dyno.shtml I was checking it out (I hate Hondas and was just studying the enemy ) and even most of these friggin supercharged si's (even ones with mods) have less torque then most 3rd gens with all the bolt ons. Thats pretty pathetic that adding a s/c and bolt-ons still can't beat the torque of a 12yr old sports sedan! Sorry, just thought it was funny to see those dynos. HP wasn't bad on those s/c si's though.

 

when you get done modding that civic,you can pull it out and you still will not win!!!!!!!!
