Lol is right an m5 is pretty sweet...but i can think of several hondas of friends i kno that could make that m5 cry lol...but then again they spent tons of money to make he hondas/acuras fast.

Get that turbo upgrade asap. IT will help a ton. I think your interior is kinda lacking, not sure if you wanna put time into the cosmetics...

**Disturbed** · February 16th, 01:42 PM

For the turbo upgrad why dont you just throw a t3/t4 or a t4 in? maybe even a 20g. I dont kno much about 300z's though.

**allstarunited** · February 16th, 01:51 PM

Get rid of that God-forsaken "monster tach". It looks like a damn alarm clock with a laser sight attached to it.

**Disturbed** · February 16th, 01:56 PM

The monster tach isnt that bad..atleast he has a use for it unlike most hondas you see, see if he bounces off his rev limiter then that cuts the fuel supply...but doesnt stop the turbo from forcing air into the cylinders..more air+less fuel=lean=detonation=REALLY bad

**PimpNp8ntBaller** · February 16th, 02:03 PM

not a big fan of them ugly tail lights, i'd rather ahve a nicer looking back than front b/c if its as fast as u claim, the all theyll see is the back

nice car

Thank you for the unnecessary lesson, my opinion still stands. Judging by your last couple posts, you sound pretty "fast" and "furious" yourself. What do you drive, if you don't mind me asking?

turbohothot - I actually do like your car, I'd just change a couple things. I'd definitely ditch the alarm clock. I was also never a big fan of the Z wheels either, but maybe that's your thing. Greddy also makes some very nice a-pillar gauges that are illuminated a little better than the one's you've currently got, if you're interested. Nice car though. Excellent choice going with black.

Pawner · February 16th, 03:38 PM

Clean up the inside a little bit...its a shame to have such a nice car and the inside be dirty.

**Disturbed** · February 16th, 04:19 PM

Fast and furious? lol...couldnt be farther from it..those movies are so damn fake an retarted. Seriously though...if you had that car would you want the motor blowing? And i drive a 97 sc2 saturn with some goodies

i c what yer sayin.....i almost wanted to gut the whole car...i wasnt building it for looks....just speed

top speed: 152 mph
(it could go fast with out the speed limiter ....which will be gone when i reburn the ECU)

stock quarter mile : 15.2 @ 92

Quarter mile as of just before winter : 13.8 @ 103

After next upgrades : 12.2 @ 122

The point about the tach is that it's ugly and tacky. Unless you have coke-bottle glasses, I doubt you really need a tach that big. Something a bit smaller (and not crooked) would make more sense.

The other thing I don't understand with those is the blinding "shift now" light. I was at the Summit Racing showroom (I live about twenty minutes away from their headquarters) and they had a bunch of them lit up on display. The light on some was so bright I don't think you could see anything else, much less be able to drive.

I could understand having one if your car didn't already have a tach...otherwise, its just another over-priced ricer accessory.

The gt 500 body is here!. If you remember my friend who wrecked his mustang way back when. The new body is in and most of the parts are sitting in storage. I know the old stang could whipe that up but the new one would just make it look sad.

Nice car if thats what you go for. Im not a huge fan of the type. I like old school muscle or new school sport bikes.

SpYder craZy · February 16th, 05:47 PM

You really gotta get that thing a custom paintjob. Black body with green rims, green neons on bottom of car, and black/green interior. That car would be sooo tight

Also, slap a body kit on there and make it look like a real street racer

**tippsownu** · February 16th, 05:54 PM

It's scary how much time and money you would lose if that car got wrecked.
