Tonight I took a little road trip to a place known for some great street races. I wrecked a bunch of hooked up golfs civics, Jettas. The races worth noting are as follows.

97-99 Stock Automagic Maxima, I beat him by about 3 - 4 cars up to 85MPH.

Pontiac GTP, I beat this guy by about 3 cars up to 90MPH. It had real good low end power but it bernt out around 55MPH.

Lexus IS300, He had a exaust and maybe some other stuff, I beat him twice by about 1/2 - 1 car lenght up to 85-90 MPH. Each time he jumped a good full car length off the start and then I sucked him in preatty good at the top of 2nd then I whould just barely pull on him in 3rd.

94ish Mistubish Turbo eclipse with what seemed to be sooped up preatty good, I heard the BOV screaman and he had a big exaust system. He beat me by about 1 car length up to 90MPH.


So far for mods my Max has 52 Pound bald 17 inch rims{Kills my Launches!}, Busted rear heated o2 sensor, Stillen Intake,RT cat, Stillen Cat-back exaust, Stillen Alluminum Flywheel, Stage III piece of crap CenterSLIP Clutch. I can't wait until the next few weeks because I have a UDP on order, NZ headers and a Gforce ECU. I am also looking to buy some very light weight rims. Until next time!

 

The is300 is a lot faster then I would have thought? What mods do you still have on your car. No SC

 

The IS300 had one skiney little guy in the car and I had a 150 pound friend sitting shot gun. My max is a real dog off the line too because my 52 Pound rims and completly bold tires. Read my post again, I included all my mods in the last perograph. BTW I am loosing a G-tech tested 0.8 seconds from 0-60 with my heavy 17's when compared to my oem 15's. I am going to get some nice lightweight rims in the future.

 

Ohh BTW I forgot to mention I am talking about my 95 Maxima! My I-30 is being sold any day now.

 

so are u going to hold on to your max and mod it up again? just interested.... sounds cool.

 

Yep, I decided to get rid of the 98 I30 and invest all the money in some mutual funds and eventually in a house or something. My 95 maxima is getting really hooked in the next few months. I just ordered a UDP and I am ordering NZ Headers on monday, I am also going to get a GForce ecu very soon. But wait that's not all , In a few months my max is getting painted most likely M3 Blue and a Sarona body kit will be fitted. This is going to be fun!

 

Y-pipe not on yet? Damn that is all where your going to get the most power aside from an SC... Nice kills too! GTP was the best very nice!

 

What kind of rims weigh 52 lbs?

 

I think he has some Chrome 17s... 52 lbs for rims+tires is very realistic, I think I had chrome Giovanna 17's that weighed around 56

 

I have 17" Chrome Epic rims and 235/45/17 Yokohma A520's. I have got to get rid of these things. If anyone wants them I will sell if real cheap for $500.

 

good kills man

 

Hey what condition are the rims in???? and how much shipped to chicago??

 

I just re-weighed my rims "on a flat surface" and found out they only weigh 45 pounds with tires, not to bad if you ask me. I think I am just going to keep them for a while now.

 

hey e, i put up a racing stories section on VQPOWER.com feel free to slap those bad boys on there.

 

Cool, I will go do that now. I am going to go down there and race almost every weekend now so I will have lot's of good material.

 

Ok sweet!! So how much you think you'll get for the former street racer(I30)

 

I just posted over there.

I am going to put the I30 in for $17,500, hopefully I will get atleast 17K for it. There is only one other 5spd in the area and it's at a dealer and costs $22,000! Hopefully someone in my area want's a 5spd I30.

 

22K, WTF. Good luck. BTW, thanks for posting the race

 

wow.. maxima can beat IS?
U think my stock can beat a is?
98

 

must be stick, if not you MAY get a 1/2 car length behind

 

A stock 95-96 5spd max should just barely beat a "stock" IS300. A 97-99 5spd max should be about dead even with a good driver in the max and the IS.

The IS 300 I raced had some exaust mods and maybe more? I should have beaten him a little more but my car was starting to really heat up from the other 10 races that night so my clutch was slipping a bit. Next weekend I will try to find him in the beginning of the night . I should have my UDP in by then too!

 

so someone has some $$$ laying around??

 

You got that right! It's all going in the bank though .
