EDIT: added a lil sumpthin sumpthin in post #24

Just some stuff I've done this summer to the rex..

Bilsteins + RaceComp Yellows (330# front and rear)




Subaru 4-pots






two scoops



autocross, still on the stock suspension. Next time will be faster!



new body kit...

 

Soooooo niiiiiice.

 

Your stance and fitment is weak and get some real wheels

JK

 

clean my friend very clean

 

next mod is some 19x10.5's with 195/20/19 rubber. I gotz to have the poke.

 

how do you like those tires, do they wear quickly?

 

The ones on the gold wheels are RE01R's, which I use mostly for autocross and don't usually have on the streets, so I can't say how they wear. They have about 2 or 3k street miles and 15 or so autocrosses and aren't showing any wear whatsoever except some outside edge scuffing (need more front camber).

They're great tires though. Higher performance, but also quieter and better ride than my SPSport01's on the street wheels. Hard to find these days though, they were discontinued like 2 years ago and replaced with the RE11 (which I've heard are even better)

 

looks good

 

not bad...

 

I like the upgrades.

 

are those 300zx calipers? I dont know anything about Subies

 

they're the stock 4-pots from the 06-07 wrx (they changed back to 2-pots in 08+). But yeah, they're made by Sumitomo like the z32s, and are almost identical in design.

 

ibthinkinicouldbeatirishinaracebutdontwanttogetmyc aralldirtylikehis.... subies around here are all blue and yellow like the track subie that whatshisname drives. hows the exhaust sound??? vid clip man of race dood.

 

2 scoops are better than one. lol
looks good.

 

Ahh. Subaru. Such a bro's car... lol

 

Each box has two scoops of raisins...

Looking good irish.

 

I thought it was a favorite of lesbians and "outdoorsy types"

Ahh. 6th gen Maxima. Such a middle-aged woman's car... lol

 

^^^ hahaha, good stuff man, how does the Bilsteins + RaceComp Yellows ride?

 

really, seriously....like an E46 M3. Not saying it can outhandle that car, but the suspension/chassis "feel" is VERY similar now.

 

hot damn, nice, ever since your thread http://forums.maxima.org/advanced-su...ad-shocks.html
i picked up that Bilsteins were probably the only way to go, so its good to hear that.
by the way whats the bolt pattern on that?

 

sadly, 5x100. The STi has 5x114....

 

dang you could have stayed in the bolt pattern fam too., though i do see on alot of wheels including mine that fit 2 patterns on one wheel especially that combo.

 

no kidding....and woudln't you know that the 30-35 offset wheels I had for the max would be a perfect fit on an STi.

ANd the G35 18s look HOT on an STi.....a local girl has them and they're great looking.

 

picked up a little something else today for around half the retail price.

$300 for 30whp/50wtq with no other mods? Yes please....

 

um yeah, dang man thats an insane dollar/whp ratio...nice..
money aside would one single n/a mod even give a maxima that kinda gain? i have no idea.

 

For $1000 or so you can get some really good headers and a tune and maybe get half that, lol....

 

yeah thats pretty funnny... indeed..

 

and just because of its awesomness, a spotting today

 

Nice upgrades!!

 

added some SS brake lines, and then went to the last autocross of the season where I wrapped up 1st in the points title for my class (X2, not SCCA classing).





I lost to this guy (the MS3) who is a great driver....



but I beat this guy pretty badly, lol...

 

Looks pretty sick with the yellows. I want to take the Grand Prix out next season for autoX and see how it does just for the hell of it.

 

like this....he runs with the same club as me.

 

did u see the wet sliding wrx commercial with dave mirra.. pretty hot
this gen of subys is growing on me for sure.

 

agreed... i do like those subies though

 

fastness > bling

true story

 

I can tell you that the RE11 are a great tire. And tread wear isn`t that bad either.

 

Looking good irish. I really would love an awd vehicle next or rwd

 

Yeah, I like the RE01s that I have, but turn-in is not great IMO. For next season I'll probably go to some wider Star Specs since they have a bit better response than the RE11s I hear (plus they're cheaper).

For street I have 235/45/17 SPSport01's, which are decent performers and good for 25k miles or so with AWD...

I doubt I can ever go back to FWD. And not sure why I would go to RWD either...AWD you can drive it like either type depending on what you want to do

 

You also lost to this guy.

Troll, troll, troll your boat....

 

Car looks good, your pictures make me want to autox!
