just saying, imo a maxima isn't something id enjoy at an autocross even if you have a good setup

I'd say you can almost get one for nearly half that.

It may require a little traveling, but FFS, I'd rather travel then spend extra k's worth of dime.

Why don't you say that instead? Because it's been proven multiple times with a proper setup the beam does wonders. It helps me troll supposedly "Superior" platforms for handling, STIs, Z33s, V35s, S30s, E36s and probably a few others I've played bumper troll around the track with if I think harder.

I paid 799 to get my Pathfinder transferred from VA to NM. Cheap price to pay for something that's a PITA to find.

I've read, and so have you I'm sure, people have spent months trying to find a 6MT on here. Preaching to the choir though.

How are you shipping the TP? If it can get here Friday then keep it at the current address of 7230.

But if it's Saturday then I will need it shipped to another......

I'll send it so it gets there Friday, as long as it doesn't cost more than the part FFS.

as long as it is a DJ and not a damn mustang dyno. Nobody ever puts in the right values on the mustang so the results are always off. Then again if the values are the same the differences will still be valid so for our purposes I suppose it matters not

They?

I've noticed this about you a few times over the years, how this particular misspeeling really gets under your skin. Maybe if you bought an Infinity you'll find you don't care as much?

That is wrong in so many ways. FWD cars are not popular on the race track simply because they are the hardest to drive well and set-up well. Just because they are hard doesnt mean that the max cant be set-up well for the track. They can. Our aftermarket doesnt have custom control arms and you cant easily modify the pickup points to lower the roll center. However, with proper corner balancing and making the rear stiff and front soft you can make it handle quite well and make it a balanced car that doesnt understeer like a bia

Our car doesn't understeer that bad I think???

Well I never had stock suspension, my first setup was Dropzone springs + Blown stock struts and poly ure front end and I competed in Gymkhana with that setup... A sport which requires a LOT of oversteer to compete in, and our parking brakes won't last long if I'm using it on every turn, I only used it to do spin cones or 180s, but the rest of the course I didn't touch it.


^WHEEL CHALKIN LIKE UH BAWSSSS


^ I did a 180 right hander before this corner, the rest is self explanitory....

And there is one decent video on Youtube of me doing the Gymkhana final.

[edit]
Dammit... I want mustang wheels again, they looked dirty... in a good way....
