You know you're driving a VQ when....
just a neat lil tread i kinda copied from somewhere thats kinda nice to share... basically all you do is state something unique about maxima's in general, good or bad... like me
1. I know I'm driving a VQ when i diagnose the car to hear about a knock sensor for the first time :D 2. I know im driving a VQ when you WOT for no reason just to enjoy torque |
Auto + n/a 3.0 + 3200+ lb car ≠ torque.
|
You know you're driving a VQ when you hear a "crunch" from the timing chain area at every start up.
You know you're driving a VQ when you can hear the lifters over your exhaust. (I guess that all depends on the exhaust system) You know you're driving a VQ when you can make a money shift (instead of 3-4, 3-2) and drive it home. Heck, in my case.. I finished the night racing. I guess this all applies to the VQ35 since I have no experience with the 30. :) |
When you've never said "on race gas".
|
You now you're driving a VQ when you need to refill your oil every freakin month! Or every 2 weeks if you enjoy high RPMS

When you turn the radio off just to listen to how good the motor sounds :nod:
|
you know your driving a VQ when you slam the bish and have to change axles every month
<------- you know you drive a VQ when you mojo yourself into a race ur not even sure you'll win (but you somehow do) |
You know you're driving a VQ when you can read a KS code by the part throttle shifts.
Well at least I can on auto 3.0's anyways. Just got done doing a tranny on a '97 w/270k miles, asides from brakes & tires it was probably the first bill the car had with more than $50 in parts, and the engine pulled soooooo smooth and strong, still roaks 'em up hard from a stop with his new vlsd |
You know your driving a VQ when nobody wants to race you because you have a 4 door car and it still beats most of the two door cars out there.

lol i like that comment on the sticker :)
|
You know you're driving a VQ if you accelerate rapidly out of the blue to hear the beautiful music under the hood and then drive like a grandma the rest of the time to avoid massive amounts of oil consumption.
|
when you floor it on somebody, you know you could smoke...........
|
you know when your'e driving a VQ when you start it up, while its running cause it so quiet
|
You know you're driving a VQ when you see the other guy in your rear view mirror.

You know you're driving a VQ when you have the entire "CEL Check Procedure" memorized and ready. |
The good:You know that you have a VQ when you blow by a Accord Coupe on the track and watch the Honda Fanboy's mouths drop when they see that their beloved VTEC lost to a sedan.
The bad: You know you have a VQ when you have to keep an extra bottle of oil in your trunk. |
You know you're driving a VQ when you have your traffic attorney in your Fave 5.
Actually, if it's come to that, then you know you're just an a-hole :laugh: |

You know you are driving a VQ when you do the GAB mod and then rev past 4000 rpm to hear the growl. You know you are driving a VQ when half throttle on an on ramp nearly puts you into the back end of cars already at freeway speeds. You know you are driving a VQ when even at $4 a gallon for premium you still take the long way home. |
You know that you have a VQ when you jump off the line and you chirp your tires and watch the tech hit redline and hear that nice growl.
You know that you got a VQ when It's raining out and you just tap the accelarator and you lose traction. |
When you only have $50 left to pay for gas until you can find a job but you still refuse to shift anywhere but redline :)

you know you have a vq when your MAF gave up and your engine go to safe mode and cant smoke the civic next to you....
|
...your passengers say "I didn't know you had an exhaust!?" and you reply "naw, that's just the intake."
I dunno what you guys are talking about engine growl w/stock intake on WOT... it's too dang quiet!!! |
Who's the pretentious *** that gave this thread a one star rating? I noticed if there is any kind of creativity or group friendly threads they get a low rating. Pisses me off.
Even though I can't really add to this thread because I don't drive a VQ. |

You know you're driving a VQ when you're stock/3.0L and you can hang with an I/H/E 5.0...until about 70mph.
|
You know you're driving a VQ when it keeps on going and going and going.
|
you know you have a VQ when you cant make a u-turn with one try but everybody else does
You know your in a VQ when you fix all the CEL reading but the CEL comes back on in 30 seconds :laugh: |

The VQ is running hella nice, and the front struts and tires are only 3 months old.
|
when you are at 177XXX miles and still running strong :)
|
You know you have a VQ when you hear that notorious 1st gear whine up through the rpm's
|
when you can't pass your emissions test because of a CEL.
when two weeks later the CEL goes away and you can pass your emssisions test having made no repairs. when you have to buy another maxima because you know in your heart that you have to have two, because by the time your 4th gen dies, you won't be able to find a decent 5th gen with under 200K. when you can't imagine ever buying any other 4 door sedan. when you contantly comb craig's list and ebay looking for a 98-01 maxima with less than 60K so you can have a spare for when your DD craps out. |
you know when you drive a VQ when the stars collide and you don't care cause your engine still purrs
|

:gotme:, beats me... u can list something unique about ur VE
You know you're driving a VE when you're CAI/HAI makes it sound like you're driving a Nascar at the top of every gear. You know you're driving a VE when the weather drastically affects how she drives. You know you drive a VE when the guy at the parts counter tells you your engine doesn't exist :) |
