Once You Go Nissan, U Don't Go Back

Post by **IowaSilvia_S13** » Sat Apr 19, 2003 7:17 am

Hahaha.. I'm luving my nissan guys. This is from a previous Honda owner. Why do the Civic Si's have a 145 mph limit? It takes 4 miles to get there. I can bury my sil. in less then a mile and have tons left. btw how fast is 180 km? it seemed fast too me and way more left. the car handles great at that speed.

Hahha up in desmoines.. don't u mean down in desmoines.I live in north cental, by Algona. it sux up here for imports dude.. ppl stare at you, especially driving a rhd vehicle. there are some guys in Algona that have honda's. that is all they have. one guy has a nice 00 si with custome paint and bodykit etc. but no motor work. basically typical ricers here. nothing performance wise. i think one guy has nos, but not sure. i could still take him bad.

go for a road trip and come up and visit. only 2.5 hrs away. haha

typical ricers in iowa. arent they the best. I love seeing probe Gts with GT-R emblems placed over their Gt decal. You got a 91 240 too i just recently got mine about 2 months ago. Did u do the sr swap yourself? or is there a shop up there that did it for u

Heh..I hear ya man. Before I had my s14, I had a 93 Maxima SE...and I loved it! The family Nissans before that were an '81 Datsun 210 and a late 80s Nissan Hardbody pickup. Nissans rule it, hands down.

IowaSilvia, are you driving your car on the streets now? i must have missed something coz last time i checked you were concerned about legally driving it. plz fill me in.

Post by **IowaSilvia_S13** » Sat Apr 19, 2003 7:17 am

not yet driving it on the streets.

still pondering on a few things. Waiting from a response from a DOT guy here that is being helpful. If that fails my parents live in Mo. and could possibly do it there. And if that fails my uncle live in Arkansas. I know arkansas is very leaneant to register and title vehicles.

And to answer your question, take 180 and multiply it by .62 (or for quick conversion, 100kmh=60mph ish). You were doing 111.6 mph.
