I kill auto ludes all day, so I ahve to say the Altima

[Touchdown038]

Your Altima kills Preludes all day?

Without pics / videos that statement means nothing.

twelv maybe u need to learn more street language or broken language .. now people prefer write short instead with all that crap gramma

[twelv]

I understand street talk but there is a time and place for everything and this is not one of those times. You are trying to discribe to us something that happened to you so please try to convey it as plain as possible. If I sent you headers for your car and the directions were like this

you do the bolt then you lift the engine. That is how it is done.

that mean crap when you are trying to discribe something.

i just got a header , intake and 17'' RS Evolutioni just driving around , then at red light this guy with his altima look over my car i look over his as wellhe got 17 rim , exhaust ,his car have some sticker so i think he have intake also ... when green light i run with him for short distance. 45 mph then i stop. he next to me equally ... i don't know he at his best or not , but i'm not at my max Rmp. after install DC header , my engine light come up whenever i press the gas to the max . i would say the same thing like Touchdown038my bro. have 95 altima and it slow as crap i own a prelude SI , i think i know betterno matter how good you drive stick it not going to happen

This what I understand.You just got a hold of header, intake and 17" RS Evolution.You drove to a red light this guy with his altima saw you and you were looking into his eyes. He had one 17" rim with an exhaust in his car he said have some stickers so that meant he had an intake. Then you saw a green light then you started to run. You were at 45mph then hit the brakes he was sitting in your car with you. You were wondering was the other guy at his best or not because you were not at your max rmp( what ever that means). After the install of DC header your engine light pops out when ever you press the gas to the max. You would repeat what touchdown038 your brother said. He has a 95 altima and it is slow as poop. You own a Prelude SI so you think you know better, no matter how good you drive stick it won't happen.

oh....the intricacies of the English language.

[Touchdown038]

Thanks so much for translating that. I mean, how else would I have known what he said? :rolleyes

All I'm saying is that Prelude SIs are quick cars, and a 4-banger Altima has no chance, even with the manual advantage.

:ylsuper thanks that is what it said I just thought he was just posting drunk.

[twelv]

Honestly, looking at what he posted... he has an auto Prelude with intake and header, plus some nice, heavy rims, sounds like a real car enthusiast to me :rolleyes...

Also, they're completely different cars, IMO, despite their similar specs:

'92 Prelude Si:2.3l I4160hp @ 5800rpm156 lb/ft @ 4500rpm2866 lbsmight haul a couple bags of groceries... originally built as a sporty compact coupe...

'96 Altima (let's go out on a limb and say SE):2.4l I4150 hp @ 5600rpm154 lb/ft @ 4000rpm2882 lbswill haul those same groceries and a couple friends too... originally built as a daily people/crap hauler... with 4 doors

The point I'm getting at is that those are not two cars I would ever really think about lining up, simply because their different purposes. I'm pretty sure they Si has a notably stiffer suspension. The Si is in the upper echelon of the Civic/Integra/Celica/200SX (even Sentra, SE-R that is) crowd, while the Altima would be better placed with the Accord/Camry crowd. They're completely different animals, and this is a silly race to even talk about because it would only probably happen on the street between a couple bored kids, not a proper environment like the track. That and comparing an AT car to an MT car when talking about performance is apples and oranges, as the AT car requires only enough driver skill to hold the wheel straight (he was talking a straight line race), while the MT car is all about knowing your car and it's shifting tendencies (how much torque steer to expect, whether it's the kind of car that does better with finess or brute force, etc)...

Completely different animals.

Nice analysis nametakennow.

Honestly I had no clue what KkiepCcaSsau has been saying without a translator. I think that most people prefer to be understood on internet forums. You expect a few abbreviations, shortcuts and slang. But seriously, no one wants to read a post that sounds like a caveman wrote it.

I kill auto ludes all day, so I ahve to say the Altima

I would totally have to agree with this guy b/c i have a 2000 altima as well and i kill auto ludes as well. Most of the ones i have raced have been some of the slowest cars that i have raced

[86pulsar86]

i would think that once the lude hits v-tech it would pull. am i wrong?? i duno, that would be a close one

[00_Altima MD]

the only lude that i have ever lost to was a 5spd with a built h23, but that was when i was all motor, then we went again and i sprayed on him and left him by 2 1/2 cars.

[Altiman94]

h22a with a 5spd would be a killer race

[00_Altima MD]

yeah i have a friend with a 2k2 5spd. havent raced him yet though

[00_Altima MD]

i did race him and beat him by 3 cars at least. We raced across bridge from 30 mph to 110 mph. He has CAI, underdrive pulleys, cat back, and a few other bolt ons.

[jEzTeR]

Loving this thread!

[00_Altima MD]

yeah it's not that bad. i just wish that i could get a race against one of the newer altimas with the 3.5 in them. i have already race and beaten a first gen with the same mods as me so now i'm tryin to move up and see where i'm at.

[Bonzo]

The prelude probably beat theat altima, which was designed as a grocery bag mover. Try beating a 2004 stock altima with a VQ35de. You gota need a lot more then that header. I have a 2004 3.5se stick and stock, two weeks ago beat a 2005wrx wagon from a 30 roll on at the end I had 2 1/2 cars on him at 120mph, at the light he pulls up and asks "doesn't that have a 350z engine?" I also have a Z32NA and the altima kills it. The 2002 & up altimas are beasts.

[00_Altima MD]

it's to bad you don't live anywhere near me i would like to see how i would size up to one of those. have you ran it at the track yet.

[Bonzo]

No I havent taken it to the track yet, I satisfy my urges on the street once nightfalls on the weekends. I probably should go and get a time slip though. OO_MD if you ever in the neighberhood stop by for that run.

[PalmerWMD]

I run either right next to or right past the z32 na's and dane on here has an 02 altima stock w/ the auto transmission and ran a 15.1 or 15 flat i think. But yeah if i am ever in the neighborhood i'll look you up.
