What's up guys? Picked up a 2002 Sterling Mist 6MT back in April and have been lurking since then. Came from Festiva, Accord, Prelude, SVT Contour, and now, the 'Pad. Not much done yet except the STS mod so far. In the future will be a cheap short ram, FSTB, RSB, fog light rewire, have my buddy throw it on a Consult II to tweak some features i wish to behave differently, possibly a set of 6th gen SE's, and im trying to work out a way to tint the chrome on the tail lights because i don't know what Nissan was thinking with those. And if anyone has any insight on how to fire the HID with the remote, that would be superb. Also in the spring will be tint. 30 on the windows, 50 on the sunroof, and POSSIBLY 80 on the windshield. im still debating the benefit/risk factor, tho honestly i think it's worth it with such a weak tint. We'll see.

I'll shut the hell up now and make with teh pics:






and some boobies for good measure

 

Welcome to the 5th gen Forum, Lurker. Lots of good info. Lots of good people.

Advice... 3 megapixel images destroy a thread, forcing most people to scroll horizontally.

Haven't seen an Intro Thread in a while. Makes me wonder what happened to SoonerFan.

OP, consider yourself lucky to have missed that special banter.

 

clean car, not sure by what you mean by the color of "lustre" but if you meant grey lustre that aint it, my car is. i think sterling mist is your color?

 

Welcome to the forum. Enjoy your stay.

Good measure, indeed.

 

quite true. im having major problems with photobucket right now. i resized them 3 times and i guess none of them took. im STILL working on trying to get it to stick.

or we can get admins to turn on autosizing like every other modern forum

thanks for the welcome

derp. you're absolutely right. i was simultaneously looking up paint colors for the hood while typing it. fixed!

 

#1 I like your taste in cars. Yours is the twin to mine, 2002 Sterling Mist with the Frost interior and 6MT

#2 The best mods so far have been the free STS and the RSB. The RSB definitely impact handling in curves for the good.

#3 Be careful overdoing the tint unless you enjoy the ricey look. Just my opinion..

#4 Best intro I have ever seen, complete with cleavage and lingerie. Welcome aboard.

How many miles on your 6MT? Mine just hit 88,000


oh yeah #5, I'm torn on tail lights. It would be nice if the chrome matched the paint, but the black ones look too dark,
and I'm not sure it is worth the 100 bucks to get the red Eagle Eye ones. So far I'm neutral on changing them so have
not spent any money on that. A new muffler will come first. I want to hear something out of the back when I shift.

 

More boobies please

Oh and Congrats... Now more boobies..

 

Thanks for the responses guys.

Im still searching, trying to imagine a way to fire the HID's with the unlock button. maybe tie into the ring around the ignition, or the residual power that auto locks the doors if you don't open them after a period of time

 

Curious what you are trying to accomplish, other than being able to deplete your battery.

Might be smarter to get a remote start and just set your headlights to "Auto" if you have the need to have remote lighting...

 

Had mine since September Got bank 1 pre cat failure though so my first mod will be OBX headers a cheap man's cattman

 

^ that's a killer shot, sneaky!




i dont *need* to have it, but since cobalts and cheap GM's and **** do it, i think we should be able to do it. all i'd need to do is show the HID system an "ignition on" situation and they should run for, after the Consult II, 2 minutes. Id like it so i can light my way at night or find the car in a parking lot and so on. and i may be mistaking, but im pretty sure the HID uses a fraction of what a normal halogen uses, plus rundown protection etc etc

 

...

Welcome to the forum,looks just like mine when it was stock.I would stay away from the 6th gen wheels tho,theyre pretty heavy and another option for the tails is to swap in some 00-01 tails

 

here ya go, brosama

 

BTW, what are some double din/touch screens that let us retain our steering wheel controls?

 

Your gonna need a pac adapter to keep the steerin wheel controls

 

and that will work with any mfr?

 

Someone get this man a promotion for the boobies.

 

i want to know what is the measurement on that good measure, if you dont mind measuring..

oh welcome

 

They have different one for different mfr's.

34C. and thanks for the welcome

awesome. thanks mang

 

Someone let Admin know that they should change the requirements for newbies from 15 posts to one post with boobies.

 

^EL OH EL

 

this

 

So, uh, anyway... Shd, what do you think of the Maxima vs the domestics you've been cruising around in? Why'd you switch to a Maxima?

I wish I had Gray Lustre instead of Sterling Mist. If I had to have a beige car, that is. Majestic Blue > all. Why didn't they offer a red 5th gen? Or a LeMans Sunset 5th gen? *drool*

 

thts a nice looking car.....

 

well, it was either a WRX or 02-03 maxima. i like bigger cars with more road presence, and i love me some torque. plus, i wanted to get back into a flagship vehicle

The maxima is a lot more refined, but it's definitely lighter weight (feeling) than my SVT was. SVT sounded MUCH better stock. The lude was fun, the accord was good as well. And i miss the festiva very much. the color i wanted on the maximais that navy blue they came in. teh secks!

here's a (crappy) video i shot one day. i probably peaked at around 80 for reference. not bad for a 2.5 haha: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3Bt1flGHC8


thanks bud!

 

nice youtube account name!

 

Nice ride and the girls also!!

 

haha thanks. that was my name here but i was forced to change it. i have 4800 posts on my accord forum under that name

 

Hmm, looks good, I wonder how she rides...Okay enough about that let's talk about the car

 

Welcome.

 

Welcome good sir! update us on all the progress made! and id have to agree with the tails

 

sweet
