if you don't know me read the reply i gave to "...maxima see going to import daze..." anyways i just wanted to say that all the maxima drivers better watch out for the Acura type-s's. i beat one a couple weeks ago after work. in fact it was a fellow employee of nakayama racing. you might of heard of him. he drives a black lowered one with stillen front lip, etc. anyways i beat him by like 2 cars and was still pulling. once VTEC came in at about 47-4800 hundred i just pulled away from him. i just waved at him and kept going. now don't get me wrong chris's car is pretty quick--but not quick enough. and talk about no body roll. that car is as tight as a ferrari or something. well anyways i'll see you at work tomorrow chris.

by the way don't get mad i'm only speaking the truth.

 

VTEC.....ohhhh....now that scary

dude...I don't worry about measly little type-s's....now when an LS-1 is in my rearview...that's when I start to worry....

 

not me

 

Lasttime I checked, CL-S and TL-S's don't run 14.3 bone stock.

 

haha. very well said medicsonic. He is going to shut up now.

 

Maybe that type S emble can give him more power. Hey maxkiller try ordering more type S embles than you can probably beat corvettes and stuff. We proved that embles are good for 5 hp a piece. So let say you put 12 of them on. Anywhere is fine. Than you can add 60 hp to your acura. I like the car but for some reason I don't get why we have the rival going on with the acura. Hey our cars are about 10k cheaper. For 10k we can get mods that will be good for running a ferraris. By the way I have to check into the CL forum maybe someone has already beaten a Ferrari.

 

in the spring I won't be worrying anymore!
mmmmmm.....100 shot....mmmmm

 

Did you get your trany fixed also did you get your differantial?

 

That's because your car is not of this planet!

 

Actually, if you stick them on your wheels, your car will handle a lot better, too.

Then you can even OUT-HANDLE a Ferrari in the twisties, too.

Fact is, stop talking trash. You fear the 2K2 Maximas. Period.

 

not me ither anymore

 

Do you mean I fear the 2k2 maxima?

 

Type-S =>

A 2k2 Maxima owns it. Stick or auto.

 

That's OK... some of us 'kick in' at about 3500 with our version of the V--TEC- <- insert 'or -h'

 

Maxkiller: don't be so sure about Maximas fearing the TL-S...

I've got a 2K 5 spd and a 2k2 TL-S (both stock)...the difference isn't as much as you would think, and the 5spd Max feels just as quick as the TL-S to 60 mph, even quicker off the line. Obviously, mods will change the picture.

The TL-S is quick, but I've test driven the the 2k2 6 spd, and the Max will put a hurt on the TL-S for sure.

 

hahahha... Chunger..... after your "V---TEC" kick in.... then let off the gas... then you hear..... pssssssssssssssstt!!!!

 

I beat a non-type-S TL a while back, but not by much........wouldnt be surprised if u can beat a 5spd one with no mods.

 

Errr, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't RSX Type S's in the same class as WRX (As in, way faster than Maximas?) That's the impression I was under, was they're always comparing them together in the car mags..

 

interesting...

 

I don't fear type-S's and I have an automagic. I've ran my friend's CL-S enough times to prove he doesn't have **** on me any more. Give it up.

BriGuy: 100 shot? I'm going with a 75 here in Jan. Do you have to do anything other than the fuel pump and injectors for that, besides the tranny work?

 

I didn't but Acura because I find a lot of Acura drivers are spoiled brats in my area. Regarding the TLS/CLS, I find the CLS better looking. I do prefer 4 doors however.

Before getting my 2002 6 speed I had a 99SE. Very nice, looks good, and after 2.5 years I got the new lease. I also tested the IS300, TLS, and Altima. If I didn't get the Maxima, it would have been the TLS. The car is stylish, fast, and the SS is neat and fun. It is a few $g more than the Maxima.

Which is faster? They might be close stock to stock. When do you consider a race won? The first 5 seconds? At 40mph? 80mph? 140mph!?!
Both the Max and the TLS have something over each other. I didn't go with the TLS cuz of people in their forum complaining about the tranny, rotors, etc. Having said that I frequent the TLS/CLS forum cuz I do like the cars, and find I learn something interested from there also.

Now there are rumours of a 295 TLS/CLS in the near future. There are also upgrades available from Rick Case in Florida that will make the car haul. That is great. Sometimes when I race I win, other times I lose. Not a big deal if I do lose because your car is a part of your life that is important to you. But you also have your wife, job, family, dog, house, blah blah blah to be happy about. I don't get to wind-up if someone beats me by 3/4 of a car length.

As I said, my second choice behind the Max would be the TLS. After that, it would be the Altima or CLS. I have no regret getting my Majestic Blue 6 speed. I might put in a CAI, and some sways. Don't plan to spend too much more cuz a car can never be fast enough. It is a never ending chase if one always want something better. A car would not kick you if you check out other cars. On the other hand, if your gf/wife sees you checking out another woman, wham!!

Be content with what you have. Put some $$ into investments, retirement plan. Go read the Rich Dad, Poor Dad book.

 

oh no those Type S' are fast...if ur max is stock like mine i was neck and neck with an RSX-s a couple of weeks ago.....after that i wouldnt even TRY to run with a TL-s

 

Alot of it is going to come down to the drivers too.

SuDZ

 

Cap99Maxima....Chris...where are you?

 

I don't know about newer or faster Japanamation TLS/CLS that jump tall buildings in a single bound but the TLS that I've ran against only beat me by .05 in the 1/4. I'm slower than the average maxima(I30) but I would imagine I would've done better with non lead lined rims(MOMO). So, don't lose sleep over this match up.
RSX-s its not any faster than the TLS I don't see many of them up my way so expect to much out of them. I live in the land of the Dodge neon with dual exhaust and stage 3 wings.

 

Man I have really fell behind in all the posts going on in here. But Im back. Just wait to see what I have coming sooon
