There will be a build project thread of all the progress I will be making on the current build in another month or so. I am forgeting something in the list, so enjoy the pics.

 

 

Dave you have a sick looking 5th gen .. Cant wait till your project is over and what i get out of it (hehe) ..

GOOD LUCK !!

 

did you should do a photoshop of the CF Hood and the roof painted black cuz i dont know..rear black stillen too? i think it looks better the way it is. Black front lip might fly tho, but thats just IMO

 

interesting........

what are you going to be rolling on in the mean time?

 

a 2000 Ford ecocrap work vehicle

I might get my hands on my bosses car, he said I could have it if I fixed the tranny. Its a convertible Labaron

 

lawls, very baller. well im in for pics of progress. i think once you get it done it could be pretty nice. getting leather corbeau seats?

 

Nah, I wish I could afford the extra $400 Leather option. I'm inbetween the LG1 and CR1 seats in all black cloth

 

what are you going to do for the back seat?

 

I forgot to mention the brakes

which will be 300zx calipers front and rear
with 13" rotors up front and Hawk HP+ pads

also a different set of rims
zigen 17x10 43 offset with 275s in hyper black or silver

 

keep it and leave it the way it is

 

Dude --that's one nice looking car. Good luck with the mods.

 

Looks like a complete transformation is coming. Can't wait to see the finished project.

 

All around???

This project is hella expensive! Did you win the lottery?

 

yes to rim package, that will probably be an after thought tho along with the brake setup, those two things will happen in feburary once I file for my tax return.

Nope, just busting my *** at one job and second job about to start, I am selling alot of stuff off the car as I swap out the parts. As of so far the Axle back Frankencar is taken, as with the megan b-pipe is taken.

 

what are your goals

 

eventually a full track car, but for now a well rounded suspension setup with a good powerful engine.

 

DAMN!!! Thats a huge list. A quick estimate runs over 5K in parts not including the rims or manual swap. Going to be a completely new car. Good luck and definitely a project worth taking lots of pics......

 

i'm not trying to bash you or anything, just asking questions, but are you sure you want to drop that much cash into the maxima
unless you have most of the parts already, i'd say look into something that was designed as less of a family car and more as a sports car

cutler would love if you bought a miata....

 

LOL I bet cutler would

You know I thought about it but then I got to thinking that it would be different to see it done with a maxima. Plus by the time i'm done my chasis should be so stiff I will lift my inner front wheel through corners. (hopefully)

the real question is biggles, can I haz your sports car?

 

actually about 4k with manual swap (I got all the parts for $200, tranny has 50K miles) but without brakes and rims. I will be selling things so I am hoping to make back about 1.5k of it. So really its not that expensive.

 

with all the stuff you got from the vh45, why not throw that in there

 

sure, and a rear differential from a titan

The original idea of this car was to get it to where I think its how nissan should've released my gen maxima, I've done that. Now its time to finish the car as a track car, don't worry come january I will be driving another car (c43)

 

Oh! thats what you should do, build a C3!!!


(no, not the Citroen)

 

Citreon are put together by french people that think glue will hold it together. renault is the same way

a 2000 MB c43 with a c55 7-speed tranny swap, SC and dropped on coilovers. Its been done once and I will be the next to it.

 

you have way too much time on your hands
that sounds crazy

you should build a REAL car

something you can sale later and get good money for

 

going to pic up lunch, be back in a bit

 

Thats cause I have no other friends but you guys on the org

its not for a while, I've always had a love for the old w202s

 

WAT?

I was teary eyed for a sec there, no, really, I was.

Get rid of that rear spoiler .... it ruins the whole "clean" thing.

 

HAHA you forgot I am going Carbon fiber trunk, we will see if I feel like spending more for another spoiler

 

Leave the spoiler off. It's going to look like Vida Guerra having mediocre *** implants.

 

 

I can has Titan?

 

looks very nice man

 

Thats just what I was looking for.

 

Cool, I think it would look better if the bumper lens were not blacked out. I know the complement the lip and head/tail lights but still....

 

Mr. MOHFPro90 took my nikon d70s today and showed me how to use it....
(can you imagine if some of these were HDR)

 

nice

 

check out my camber

 

mmmkay.

nice again.

how do you use your camera?
