wow I would pay 2.35 anyday for gas, in CA it's 2.90 for 91 premium (highest)

 

wrong thread buddy

 

He has the stock wheels so that why i said it that way. If you mesure from the ground the thickness of the tire messes up the measurement. Also same size tires are not all the same size....especially when they are worn. A 215/55/16 from Yokohama is not the exact same as one from Falken.

 

i got stechs w/tokiko ills, and the ride is word...
now i need ta serve this biyatch talkin about racing me with a caddy northstar for some $nazage$. people say ill get mine handed to me, but i know better, i know lots.
500 is a lil bit of cash when you dont have a job.

hahaha what ..........., hey man talk normal you get further here.

 

i beat my friends stock northstar deville, with my stock max.

 

do sprints handle well?

 

wow... dustin i think someone has taken your place as worst speller & typer on the org... this dude maximeltman has done it.... i understand the words ride, people, mine, handed, and better.... lol speak english man

 

Looks good.............save money quick otherwise you'll be riding on blown struts like me........ Not to bad though with b&g springs.

 

exactly, thats why you dont mess w/ the wheels. from fender to ground is the only consistant measurement...

 

END YOURSELF.......

 

The only way to do a true measurement of the drop is to do a before and after from the ground. It takes out the variables of the wheel and tire size.

 

Sprints handle pretty good but if you're taking a corner at higher speeds there is little play in the spring rate so if you hit a bump, there is a bottoming out effect and a slight loss of control.

 

That looks good. I am thinking now that I should have never gone with progress...my front end is WAY too high.

 

yea im hoping to get struts ASAP...

 

don't hate...
congratulate.
okay, my apologies for talking like a moron, but i was really drunk and I sometimes act dumb when I post drunk. lol.

Instead of posting 3 times in a row why don't you just go back and edit your first post...

 

what kind of rims are those powertoyz?

 

nice drop ... very clean one too

 

thanks wht98se i love the drop. have you fixed everything your brother messed up on your maxima?

 

"not a true 2" drop" .... my car dropped 2.25 in the front and 1.75 in the rear... measured from the ground to the bottom of the fender across the center cap

 

i'll do that next time, thanks.

Maxima99SEbose:

This month I'm fixing all the mechanical stuff and doing maintenance work on it (tune up, etc..) then sometime in July or early Aug. i'll have the front and rear re-painted, my mother knows of a body shop near her work that can do the bodywork cheap

now I'm having starting problems (thanx a lot, Joe (my brother) ), on a cold start the car cranks like it's dead but when it's warmed up it'll start just fine so when I take it in for maintenance i'll have that checked out & i'll let you know how that goes, + all 4 tires need to be replaced ... oh yeah did I forget to mention there's a huge crack in the windshield extending from the driver side to the passenger side? I'll let you and everyone on here know how the restoration goes

eventually i'll mod the thing, I already have clear corners and PIAA headlights and foglights still in thier boxes so that's a small start there

 

did you get the regular dc clears or the smoked ones?

 

regular dc clears

 

Sorry to thread hi-jack but whoever is talking about wanting to race a Northstar V8 and being so confident in beating it has got to be kidding. There is no way you will not get your a ss handed to you...I've run my friends Seville up to 90.

 

you'd need some serious mods (supercharger or turbo, nos, etc) to go up against a Northstar V8 engine, other than that, as Ludacris said, don't even bother

 

Yep...i have a vid of me and my seville buddy racing. It's a joke...he gave me a 5 second head start and he comes flying by me when im at 60 and when I say flying by me I mean literally passing me like im standing still.

 

No wonder you lost so easily. You're an auto with barely any performance mods. A lightly modded (intake + y-pipe) 5-speed should take care of one with a good driver.

I know mag times don't mean much but for comparison's sake i found the 2001 Seville STS runs 0-60 in 6.4 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 14.8 seconds.

 

It's not the quarter mile time that is important in this case, it's the trap speed. Heavily modded Supras may be in the 12s but their traps are at insane speeds meaning the car is barely getting into its powerband.

The Northstar is a highway monster with TONS of passing power. I really doubt adding 10-15 hp at teh wheels will make the difference, being a stick wouldnt help beat it either. From 0-50 we were more or less even, its above that where he pulls like a bat out of hell. It's like he was spraying or something. BTW this was in my Dad's 5th gen which has better highend than the 4th gen.

 

Ummmm...ok. Was the 5th gen auto too?

*Edit* Just checked your site and it's a stock GLE ( ), which a 4th gen 5-speed with I/Y would dust...

And since we're on the subject, what does the Seville STS trap?
