Interesting. I come to Birmingham about every 2-3weeks. Im coming this weekend up there. Im basically off Exit 132B on I20. I own 3hotels there on that exit, so gotta go there and checkup on things every few weeks.

Alabama... guju... motels... everything makes sense

 

Thanks.. it's still a little slow.. but it's getting where I want it

 

Ah yes, I didnt think he'd make it...but

 

Where is the updated website for BigDog? Love his car and he has pretty much exactly the same look I want for my black 2k. Would love to see more of the updated pics.

 

Just a couple that I took that didnt come out too well.

 

There is no updated website, no time to put one together. www.turbofedmax.com/fullpics is the directory i got with all my latest pics, just no website made on it.

Who's the owner of that stunning green '97 bone stock max on the left???

Your right a 4th gen is a 4th gen. I know my 4th gen is not the same 4th gen parked next to me. I strive to make my car a bit different. I know I have the same kit and all that crap, but once you open the doors and pop the hood its all over. Jose doesnt have the stuff I have.

 

who??

 

We call you foolio so that would be your friend Jose the one with the bicycle.

 

fresh, no doubt, ill, crunktify

 

I would have come, but the car is still in the body shop all primered and glassed up right now. I think it'll be 6 more weeks before I get it back. And the interior is at the upholstery shop being redone right now too. Hopefully there will be a meet in July or August and I can finally bring my car with the new color and widebody.

 

Jeff - dont take this the wrong way...I'm just curious. Is your car going to be just for show and what your company makes? I like it and all, I saw it at Nopi 2002....but not since then. I know you've been working on it a LONG time and you've swapped many things on it. But are you gona be rollin a lot more when it's done? Or is it gona be the show car only?

 

No, it's going to drive regularly. I'll probably drive it to the shop most days, and then on weekends too. There will be places I'm not going to take it, ie downtown ATL, but it'll drive a lot. I'm not interested in building showcars, cars get too weird that way. Like my GF's Integra, most of the body is molded, but she drives it every day without incident. People think it's a show only car, but it drives every day.

Most of the stuff does have a purpose to it. The flares will let me run wider tires, the CF hood is being vented to cool the turbo and motor, and a lot of the fabrication on the interior is there to hold stereo stuff and gauges. It's all functional. The showy stuff like the paint, audi fuel door, and shaved stuff is just there because the car needs to be wild since it is advertising.

After I get the car back and finished, I will be doing a lot of dyno tuning, and running the car at the track with the turbo and nitrous dialed in. The car is definitely going to drive, as much time and money as I'm putting into it, it would be a waste to not drive it.

 

and then you gotta bring it to meets and Friday nite hell raising!!

 

We'll leave that to you and the 30+ mph speeding tickets while we pimp the ride.......

 

Mine was on Monday nite bish... -- yea, pimp a charge pipe to a 240SX

 

so you guys were drinking at the meet?

 

Im sorry does your ride push 12psi? I'll take a blown charge pipe to a turbo 240sx instead of a 30+ mph ticket and possibility of lost license and loss of insurance.

 

Iced Tea yes. Not to mention half the people were too young to get into D&B. Since I was 25+ I was able to bring a few in.

and i appreciate it. We'll have to play some more pool, after you get that table at your house

 

I live in marietta too, i recognize some of the maximas. Does anyone live in east cobb?

 

No, and I would too....but look what you got and look what I got.

 

I'm in West Cobb near the Marietta Square. In East Cobb...there's MoDiddy - black 4th gen.


How old are you? What school you go to?

 

That would be nice.....

 

Im 17 and I went to pope high school but i dropped out of that **** hole. I was at the source car audio yesterday thats by the big chicken, i got my viper alarm system there. What school do you go to?

 

I'm a senior at Marietta HS. 4 more weeks of that hell hole. - But yea man, sometimes a few Max's chill on Barett but we dont act like fools like the rest of them.

Whats your name bro?

 

My name is Cameron, yah barret is pretty fun chillen at starbucks pretty phat rides there. how many people do you know that are a member of this forum live around us?

 

YES I was

 

Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed that. My car feels sooo much faster in the passanger seat, I dont know what it is, lol.

It's because they are all at my house

 

damn adults....:sigh:

 

yeah they do look nice especially in a 18 but they are very heavy I think they are 47 pounds each which means that they would definatly slow you down

 

so let me get this straight....its 21 to get in and if you are under 21 then you need to be with an "escort" who is at least 25??

thats some shiznatch

 

I agree that sitting in the passenger does increase the seat of the pants feel of a car. It's probably because you're not the one in control. The night we were swapping cars, we road in a 01 5 speed (stock), his 92, and then mine. Punching it from 4000rpms in 2nd and winding it out to mid 3rd gear in each car resulted in a completely different feel. The 01 was very quiet and sedate with a very smooth power delivery, but it didn't feel terribly quick. Bryan's 92 was fairly loud, buzzy, bumpy, and clunky (broken mount), but the acceleration didn't snap your neck. The car felt mildly quicker than the 01. As for my car, I can't describe it since I'm the one driving. All I know is when I punch 2nd his head snapped back into the headrest and I saw him reach for the handgrip on the door panel. When I hit 3rd he said something like, "man, this thing pulls really hard everywhere". It's too bad Bryan has given up on Maximas because he knew his stuff. He's now into 4X4s and he just aquired an old Nissan 260ZX.

......... couldn't drink too much though. I had to keep an eye on the kids
