Gettin ready to launch into a 20 min session... excitement!!!!



My ride looks good w/60 sidewalls (up from 50, performance hit but looks are a plus)



Caught a sweet ride from another session... drooool



Caught a cool project car. Porche 914 from the outside...




BUT ITS GOT A CHEVY SHORT BLOCK ENGINE IN IT!!!!!



The guy said it was a 9 second car OMG!!!

 

One more pic of my baby... Too bad the clutch I put in her hasent come through

 

The new shoes look thicker than the old ones?

 

simply awesome !

 

you have a gold tip on that beast?

A friend of mine is about to buy a 914, kind of like that. It does not have the engine like that though. They are a good looking car anyway. I am a Porsche lover...esp the 911 series. I am in love with this 911 turbo (black) around here that I see from time to time. It is like a 2002 model and wow! Right now, that friend is trying to restore his 60's model Porsche 912 (5spd) to sell so that he can get that 914.

 

Yup- bigger shoes! Less wheelgap! Happy about it, now the car looks more serious.

RE:Porsches- I hear 914s handle really really well... mid-engine, weight balance and all. Probably a kick to drive although I would guess that they lack acceleration?

In 2006 porsche is coming out with the new 997 Carerra turbo. DROOOOL!

Of course, if $$$ was no object I would "consider" this car (meaning I would RUN to the dealership)



However, I would also love to get this ride (if they decide to go to production with it):

 

Nice pictures...


Did you get your clutch prob resolved?

 

re:clutch
talked to a service rep at the dealership, he didnt say that the pedal setting would cause the slippage.... So Im kinda feeling back to sqare 1. The mechanic who did the install said that the clutch was hydraulic so he couldnt adjust it. What to do what to do...?

 

The pedal can be adjusted.. It's eves listed in the FSM. Please talk to a different mechanic. I remeber Battlemax didn't drive his car for like 5 moths because of this problem, and it only took him 5 - 10 minutes to fix.

 

Man I went to your homepage and that **** looks awesome. You got some really good times for a four door sedan. Thats the kind racing I need to do.

 

sweet, Im going to Watkins Glen in NY on monday/tuesday...4-5 20 minute sessions each day! my brakes are gonna be cooking

What pads are you running now?

 

Thanks for the advice, I am taking the car into a shop on monday. Hopefully my clutch troubles will be over!
Well thank you! I like to think I have one of the most underrated cars out there... Probably because most 4th gen Maxima owners don't realize/show off its potential... and its just not expensive enough for automatic props from the public
Where do you live? I think NASA is all over the place, check out www.nasaproracing.com or if you are in CA I can recommend a couple good driving clubs. *EDIT* Oh- Arizona I see, a few cool tracks out there Ill bet...


Im jealous! Have a great time and save some pads for the next day

Im currently on "standard" pads but they seem fine.. Akebono ceramic. Kinda funny story how I wound up on them. Midday at laguna (HPDE before last) my pads went away, totally... I cheese grated them off w/ my slotted/drilled rotors after a hard lap or two. So I did an emergency replacement at the nearest mechanic and thats what he could get. The guy came through big time and I managed to still get all my track time. Lucky break...
