Got fully modded VE 5spd envy?







Still gotta switch over the brakes and rear suspension (rear in the pics is stock shocks and ST's). CF hood is on it's way. ECU within the next month. Fully modded VE 5spd then. =)

I hope not Just curious how it looks inside. Also James can you just explain the big differences driving an auto and a 5 speed I know it's a big difference but what's the main noticeable thing?

Lol the fuzzy dice are staying. Talk about old school eh?

I'll get some pics of the interior. I switched the interiors on the 5spd and the auto though. 5spd had black leather which I'm not a fan of and the auto had black on gray tweed which I love.

So they're switched now. Needless to say the interior is nice. I'll get pics though.

It'll definitely be sold as a whole when I sell the auto (time to ground the VTC's eh? hah).

As far as the differences, uhmm, there's a huuuuge difference in low-end torque. Big time. I can floor it in 1st from a roll at about 2k RPM and spin the wheels through 1st gear.

And yes since I'd never really driven a stick before I found my left leg getting sore/tired after a while of driving it. lol

Thanks for all the compliments!

I can't believe you pulled out my beautiful leather! and my dual exhaust!!!!! what are you planning on doing with that exhaust, cause i have a couple of maxima guys up here that would love to have it. i had a few offers for like 700 bucks before i sold the entire car to ya



crummy dual pic i know, but i still loved em!

oh yeah, show em the head unit i sent it with hehe

did u use that alarm or sell it? also, did you mesh the grill? it looked like you might have in the pics!

*sigh* i miss my baby

Heh that leather was just killin me here in the TX heat. It was stickin to me like crazy! lol Plus I think it'll be more of a seller with the auto.

I think I have a buyer for the duals....said he wants em but we'll see if he'll really end up buying them. Anyone up there be interested in em? They're really sweet, just too loud for me, even with the silencers! lol

That grille is meshed but it's not the same one. It's a spare non-OEM one I had laying around. You can tell it's not OEM cuz it doesnt quite fit right and sags in the middle.

Gonna use the alarm, just havent gotten around to gettin it put in.

I filled the motor mounts with flexane (they were shot!) and put in a Pacesetter fully adjustable STS.

You aren't fully modded if you don't have big brakes.

The difference is huge, I have a fully modded auto (That I am going to swap in January) and a BONE STOCK VE 5 speed which the muffler fell off and the VTC's tick like a bomb and there is no comparisson. It has to be like a full sec faster....The proof is in the puddin...

RIGHT CLICK AND SAVE AS!!!!!!!
