(in "different modes"..summer, winter, autocross, rack, no rack)

edit: added a new pic at the bottome of the 3rd post.

edit: new pics with 5zigen track wheels, post #64.

 

 

 

#4 & #6 ARE Very nice....

 

looks good irish! you do have a nice 5th gen. Love those infiniti and auto crossing wheels. I like that blizzard caravan.

 

g35 rims look hot on your car, thats hot your car is a daily beater and an autocross star. btw i could never drive my car in a snow storm.. my tires suck

 

^^^^ i second that.

 

my buddy in front of me in that pic was going up the mountains on Potenzas....he was all over the road....My falken 512s did pretty well though

the aftermath (back when the car was stock), ice mustache:



ah...another favorite...



...the maxima on the left with the potenzas got stuck in the parking lot...I kid you not...

 

Looks awesome as to be expected!

 

Looks like the guy with the Potenzas has the McDonald's arch attached to his ski rack....lmao.

 

Pic 4, new sig. Get on it.

 

you have a short memory....that WAS my sig last winter

I like my current sig better right now

 

great looking car josh! keep up the great work!

 

I'm lovin the G-ride rims. The 17s and 18s both.

 

Truely a car for all seasons Josh's car is slick, classy, refined as well as athletic. (I've seen him auto-X twice now) Looks great in person and he takes pride in its performance and appearance.

Keep it up homey.

 

sweet maxima man!
What did you use in the fogs? did yuo use the bulb condoms?

 

Don't care. Put it up now.

 

Nice collection of pics...you're making me want a 5th gen now! I really like all the winter pics cause of course it seems so familiar to me...that's what its gonna look like here in 2-3 months! You've got a super nice Maxima and it looks like you get a lot of use out of it! Nokian tires are awesome in the snow, I have them on my car.

 

sweet youve got all kinds of different shots!

i love your rims

 

#6 is pretty rad. What kind of bike do you have? I just got into riding a little while ago and picked up a Specialized Hardrock Sport. It's been fun so far.

 

yes, I used the yellow glass sheaths from HIDTech.com...
check out my webpage for more info on what/how....

 

The bike...built it up myself a few years back. The frame is a modified aluminum frame from Gene Spicer (www.spicercycles.com)...weighs in a tad over 3lbs (his new AL frames are about 3.8lbs, mine is an "old model"). Spicer makes great aluminum and titanium frames for a good price. The rest of the bike is a mix of different parts/systems I picket up over the several months I was putting it together (while still riding my old Diamond Back trials bike)...Shimano XT Mega-9 components for the most part, Ringle' Zero Deuce seat post, Brontrager crowbar, Icon stem, Sun 0-degree XC rims, Ringle and Shimano hubs, various tires, and Manitou SXR fork (with some internal modifications) with lockout. Overall, it's a nice XC setup though I really don't ride as much as I used to, unfortunately.

One note: building your own bike costs alot more than buying a comparable one pre-made...but what fun would that be

Spicer makes some great frames for all kinds of riding, including (my favorite) the 2-wheel-drive bike he made for a team doing the Iditabike Alaskan bike race:

 

now this is one guy who really uses up his car, nice.

 

hah that bike is AWESOME.. make one up for me?

 

hehe, the bike in the pic isn't mine - I wouldn't have the first idea how to build that one..

here's mine:

 

Im liking the ski rack mod I think I may have to do that this winter seeing as I now have no room in my trunk with my subs in there...

 

those your ski's? both of them?

 

HAHAHAHA greatest movie of all time!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Um, is that english? I still have a lot to learn about bikes. I've been sidelined with a few injuries lately so I've haven't been able to ride as much as I would like to. You're bike's pretty sick though.

 

heh...building a bike is like modding a car....do some research, and do it your self, and learn as you go along

 

looks good Josh. I think #8 is my favorite.

 

Nah, you just like the NAWWWWZZZZ...

That's Jason (Tapout)'s bottle.....My car doesn't use the 'roids

 

nice pics, car looks good

 

hey irish. can you send me a PM about wiring your dell mp3 player into the system.

 

that bike could use some disk brakes IMO

 

there's no need for disc brakes for XC/singletrack riding, it's just extra weight/rotational mass....XC riders with discs are just posers trying to show off IMO. Disc brakes are best for trials and DH riding (neither of which I do on this bike). I had discs on my trials setup, but don't want them on my XC frame...

Disc brakes are just for looks for 90% of riders. Only the most aggro DH and TR riders really need them...kind of like the guys who get cross-drilled slotted rotors for their maximas, even though they never race them....

 

Sean,
see my cardomain page (btw, why didn't you just PM me??)

 

nice

 

G35s...Mmmm I like!

 

I missed this thread before.... nice pics Josh... nothing I haven't seen before though...
