we get on the road... I wanted to get a pic of his car with nearly zero body roll



Tasty turn right? Wide open so I take it up to 5k in my 2k Auto...

Ed closes the gap... QUICKLY.. then backs off.. then as soon as he can, leaves me standing still. (I wasnt over 5K, but still... it was not pretty)

yeah..

I use the excuse "I never know when I'll get mad at service and decide to trade it" for not modding..

Yes I agree, Odum those rims look great, nice color match.

TimW, you have got to get some mods. I don't have much but what I do have I can easily take off. My service dept. has never said a bad word to me about it, but I guess that just depends.

the 2 closest dealers...

will look at a FSTB and try to say you abuse the car.. seriously not worth the fight. My AC clutch is making noise and they tried to accuse me of abusing my car because of my 2k2 HIDs. (since I have done 'things' to my car, I must also drive it hard) Yeah, try to connect that one! bizarre. I flat out told the guy I wasnt an idiot and if he actually thought that, he's one too.. He backed off and apologized. But thats the crap I've had to deal with.

There's a dealer 35 mins away who is much better. We started talking about handling and power and he suggested I consider some mods. He looked me funny when I said "you wont deny my warranty work because I have a FSTB?" Man, good nissan service is so random.
