    Cleaning my MSP??????

    THROW AWAY YOUR SPONGES AND CHAMIOS!!! 100% cotton towels or cloths are the way to go!! They have to be 100% cotton and trim the rough edges off. I have a black car, I know. Rinse the wash cloth at least 2x during the wash and use a second one for the bottom 1/3 of the car as it is always a...

    Zaino Tips

    I usually use mothers soap to wash the car bi-weekly, and once every 3 months I use the Pre Wax cleaner and then the Carnuba wax. My car is black which shows swirls like crazy, if not for the wife using a cheap and nasty snow brush, the finish would be immaculate. As it sits, I always have...

    Test drive impressions and questions...

    It wasn't my comments, I quoted someone else...:D My mistake, the Altima and G35's are independent. Only the Maxima and Sentra have the multi-link beam. So what exactly are dealers telling you guys about: 1) The clunking in the MSP and MP3 2) The availability of the 03.5's (Canada) I really...

    Test drive impressions and questions...

    That beam rear axle is not as bad as most think. The design is actually pretty clever and is used throughout Nissan's lineup. Maxima, Altima use it and I thought the G35 uses it....hmmm I will have to look that one up.

    Is it stupid to add some blue bulbs in the car?

    Sylvania has a awesome lineup of VERY bright and great quality bulbs. Even the cool blues are actually brighter than the stock bulbs which is not the norm. Even the PIAA's are dimmer than the stock bulbs.

    Test drive impressions and questions...

    Silly thoughts, if you got a SIR for 22,800 then bought a nice wheel and tire package $1300, Eibach springs $450, Intake $350, Exhaust $700, the car would really come alive in handling and power. I would suspect that 175hp would be relaistic and after riding in a stock SIR and one with...

    Test drive impressions and questions...

    If you walk into a Honda dealer today I have heard of the 02 SIR's being dropped as low as $22800 Can which is pretty much cost. They are also offering realistic financing of below 5%. I would bet that a 03 could be had for under $25k pretty easily. Also, the SVT has gone from pretty much...

    Vancouver Port update ?

    No, no, no...not every day, during daily driving. And shifting that high a couple times per week isn't hurting anything either. I asked about the struts becuase when I put the Mopar 1.5 lowering springs in my R/T, the back struts/area, has a little squeak when going over speedbumps. I thought...

    Vancouver Port update ?

    What is the story behind the strut squeak? When dis it do it, and who diagnosed the problem? Surely you drive it harder than that. That little 4 pot motor needs a healthy dose of some semi-regular 5-6k shifts. Many mechanics would take a well driven (not beat) car over a granny driven one.

    And if you ever use anything other than 100% cotton to wash or wax that baby, I hope you have someone that will smack some sense into you. :) (No snow brushes either)

    Turbo Timer Question

    Go to the dealer and ask at the parts dept. if they can photocopy some wiring diagrams for you. In the box for the TT, there is s list of wires to hook up to, let me know if you can't find it, as I have the instructions around here somewhere. Also, I know someone who can install it for you if...

    anybody race a nissan spec v in here?

    Give me a break....:rolleyes: I think the quote from GRM proves the ability of the handling of the SRT4 and again, the suspension is ALMOST identical to the two cars. Yeah, and the Neon has no autoX, SCCA following...:rolleyes: :bs:

    anybody race a nissan spec v in here?

    And what is that? 1. I was talking to Turboge 2. The SRT4 motor has been running 17psi in the SCCA rally series on stock internals, not one breakdown. The 2nd stage mopar upgrade kit consists of a larger turbo, with only a cam change. The SRT4 block is iron and the pistons, etc are heavy...

    ...now, this guy at work buys a WRX....

    SRT4 is actually completely made in the US. The WRX is a sweet car for sure, but in it's price range it offers AWD. The STI that will be here soon is way nicer. Subaru had to come out with the STI as the WRX was set to be run over by the next bunch of cars coming out this year.

    anybody race a nissan spec v in here?

    I still think you are not giving the SRT4 it's full deserved marks in the handling department. It is not that far off the MSP and I would be suprised if the MSP, "ate it for lunch", they are a lot closer. The motor has LOTS of room for improvement in power and the driveline will handle more as...

    ...now, this guy at work buys a WRX....

    Agreed! No worries.:D I should probably just mind my own business, but I get inspired when someone shoots off.:o
