NICO Car Critics

Post by **gniknave** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 1:37 pm

I'm a little bored so I tried to come up with a new thread idea.

The point of this thread:

Post a pic of your car. The next person posting must tell you what they'd do with your car if they had it. What would they take off, or add on? I find that a lot of my ideas come from another persons mind initially. So the point is to share ideas!

Please post a reasonably sized pic(s) of your car and list the mods and wait for a response!

RULES!!!:

Do NOT put down anybody's car by making rude remarks about it [like calling it rice etc]. This is constructive criticism ONLY!!!

Besides that, it's the perfect time to whore your car... ENJOY!

I'll start with mine:

1990 Infiniti Q45

Mods:

Q45a 28mm front sway & 20mm rear sway with ES poly bushingsLevel Ten Transmission w/ high stall converterJWT ECU JWT TCUDrilled/Slotted RotorsTokico Black/Blue setupFront Strut Tower Bar customized by Nico member Jeff Williams16x7 Fittipaldi Polaris (by OZ) wheels w/ 255/50 rubberDark tint all around94-96 Q45 exhaust tipsDouble Din JVC deck w/ Roady Xt XM radio receiver & 12cd changer

I don't have a picture of my car right now, but I'll just critique your car

I personally would put that bra back on it

Everything else looks great

I've been wanting to see your Q since I've been on Nico and have yet to...

You'd really do the bra again?

[Note, this is my old Q, not current one]

??

I DO miss those wheels though. I wish I had kept that Q and just had two of them

Dan, if that's your 240 with the chick, I'd take off the chrome trim on the doors.

Well I no longer have that bike. But the Explorer is mine.

Well Evan, the only thing I would say about your car, maybe get slightly larger tips on the muffler, not to guady, but about 2.5"-3" tips would look good. The front looks like it needs a little lip on the front of it.

Here is my car.

Mods:Engine-Blitz SUSPower Core Type LM air filter, old PROF BOV, Trust knock-off 3.25" catback.Transmision/Drivetrain 1991 R32 Skyline GTS-t 5 speed with OEM clutch, master/slave cylinder, Razo shift knob, factory VLSD still auto tranny final gear.Suspension-JIC Magic coilovers with stiff *** springs, adjustable camber plates set at -1.6 degrees.Wheels-Enkei RP-01 16X7 and 16X8 front/rear with Bridgestone Grid II 205/55/16, 225/50/16.InteriorBlitz;Boost gauge, dual turbo timer, Kenwood CD/MD player, Kenwood 6" rear speakers, Alpine 5.5" front door speakers.Exterior Factory Club S aero front lip, rear spoiler, mud flaps...if that's what they are called...and folding front license plate holder...F those over head cameras on the higways!

By the way, this is an old interior shot, dont mind all the empty cig packs. LOL. The top pic was taken 4 days ago, so that is it in all its current 4 door glory

so unmolested it needs to be molested.

Evan:Looks good. Don't know that I'd do much. I'm kinda torn on the bra thing...at least put a clearbra on underneath it if you do use a cloth bra--save your paint!

Looney: I'd just paint the hood and grille to match the rest of the truck.

Neal: I like the new wheels. Much better than before. All I'd say it needs is about .6 more liters of displacement and another turbo...

GhostDriver: I'd just paint the roof black. Because of the oddball quarterwindows, S13 hatches always look kind of off balance with body-colored roofs.

James: needs more duct tape! You should probably fix your corner marker, too.

Might as well add my car while I'm posting.My bone stock 93 Maxima GXE (don't have any decent pics of her alone...so just ignore my dad's car...). Click any pic for high res.

My only real plan right now is to put some A34 SE wheels (18x7.5) on it when I find some for a price I like. I test fitted one a while back...this is how it came out:OneTwoThree I also plan to get it repainted next year, stock color (I love my Black Emerald!), and I may throw a factory SE spoiler on the trunk at the same time...

Looks like you've put a lot of work into your coupe! Cool.

I would lose the spoiler, but I know they tend to grow on you after a while(case in point, below. ). I would suggest working on the suspension a bit, as you pointed out. It seems you have power delivery taken care of! I'm just the opposite: a BRM exaust is going to be my first real 'power' mod.

Major Mods:'DE rebuilt from 'pan up, 126hp/132tq, woohoo! ~120k on chassisAGX/S-tech'sNISMO mounts, traction/other bushingsSPL subframe collarsHawk HPS pads/brembo blanksComing next week: BRM 2.5", dual tip Some other minor stuff...S14 seat/belt, NISMO shift knob, S2000-style stub antenna, etc
