For those of you who were asking for pics of a 5th gen up on the lift (for SFC ideas and other reasons)....I swung by a local shop and had them put the car up. Unfortunately, the frame lifts were in use so I had to use the alignment lift, so you can't see quite as much. But anyhow, enjoy...

 

 

Congrats on your 10,000th post, *****.

Oh, cool pics too.

 

What the hell kind of Home Depot Crossmember is that?

 

its a stock one that was rusting to hell because of how many times it's been scraped on my in-laws' driveway......primed and painted with a can of ugly red spraypaint that I had sitting around and would never use for anything else....who cares what it looks like...it's under the car

 

I was actually talking about the one near the b-pipe, but then realized that it might also be stock. Just giving you crap anyways.

 

try looking under your car someday

 

Hey I do.......sometimes.

 

Damn Thats Rustyyyyyyyyyy

 

it looks better in person...the flash shows up the rust. The ypipe is actually stainless steel, it's just really dirty and looks rusty.

 

Nice pictures! Is that an LTB I see?

 

hey josh, is your car really dirty in those pics, or are those all of your famous paint chips in the 7th pic?

 

Did you hack up your LTB??!! Yours does not look like this.



I am confused.

 

Def a hack job (headers?). Nice Stage 1.5...

 

Hey guys i've been talking to blackbird about makeing sfc as i can get good materials, for low price and am pretty good at welding. I dont have photo shop so i was wondering if one of you guys could draw where the sfc would go exactly and how they would look. I've seen pictures of the warpspeed sfc's but they looked ****ty, also if you could come up with a design, and send me it iyou could be the first to test it out. Im just throwing out ideas as i've heard alot of orgers would like these. Let me know thanks.

 

well, it used to be a LTB II, but to be compliant with my SCCA class, I cut the "2nd stage" off of it, so now its a LTB I with 4 little nubs off of it

 

both...but mostly the paint chips. The bottoms of the rockers are blasted, big time. the car was also really dirty too....

 

It's an "original" old-skool Cattman y-pipe, not headers. It's not pretty, but it's stainless steel and works just as well as the new-design one, which looks much prettier. As you may know, stainless steel has a tendancy to turn a dark bronze color after a while. Mine was painted black with high-heat paint before I put it on...that's why it looks ghetto and not shiny. The flex section is a SS one I had installed by Insane Racing in MD, since the flex on the early Cattman ypipes had some problems with constriction and inner liner seperation.

 

Uh huh... so when are you getting headers?

 

probably never. the gains on a 00 maxima vs. ypipe is not that much to make it worth my money.
