also tires (and wheelsize) along with suspension setup can heavily influence wheelhop status

It's better to let out of it if it starts wheelhopping, it can do big damage.

thanks. I think it has to do with the suspension as of the 13 cars I've owned only 2 ever did this, both nissans. Coincidentally, these are the 2 cars I've had with the softest set up AND enough power. Others have had either more power and firmer suspensions or less torque.

Hello everyone. I figured I'd check in. It's been a while. Hope everyone is doing well.

My younger brother got a 2k SE on sunday. Arctic white, grey leather, 100k miles...5900 dollars. Great deal, I thought.

Anyway, my neon will be up for sale within the next couple of weeks...I've got to get another Maxima.

I am not happy with the neon. I think that it has caused my enthusiasm towards automobiles to die slowly and I don't like that.

5900 for a (admittedly high milage) 2k SE? Not bad at all!

Ouch! I guess no amount of tuning can rescue the Neon from it's econochic roots.Personally, regardless of performance or quality (or lack thereof), I could never live with one purely due to it's size.

Well, I think most of us believed you would come back to a Maxima once the initial "fun" of a quick turbo car (even one built from a Neon) wore off.

Good news boys...depending on how my loan application goes tomorrow, I just threw the max up for a loan. Got quoted from Bill @ Autolab (thanks Hal) for a 3'' forward y setup, 44mm tial wastegate (low boost until loan is payed for, I couldn't recover a **** up because of the loan) top-bottom intercooler depending if I run the turbo right behind the grill as Hal did, or if I mount it standard. Thats the price for all the bending, intercooler, wastegate, installation, and a pat on the back.

So we find out tomorrow, wish me luck please.

Yeah, if it were up to me I would pay a monthly fee to keep him from having internet access.

Found a co-signer, so it will be going ahead as planned. 315 to the wheels on 4psi with 370cc injectors at 80% duty cycle for daily mode. Hoping I can make upwards of 400+ if I wanted. Bill at Autolab talked like I would be making about 14 pounds by 3grand on a pt-60? pt-61? Forgot what kind of turbo it was.'

If anyone wants to come up to Madison and get drunk Friday, b.y.o.b. My buddy has a nice place out in the country- should be a good time.

My dad had one, there nice cars. For some reason he traded it in for a 03-04 X5. I really think its because my step-mom had to have a ****ing S60.
