So would it be better to have "chrome" hubcaps instead of rims? lol

Did you yank the e-brake? :rotfl

Street racing is gay. You drive a 17-second car.

Until you have some actual track time under your belt, let's not be bragging about driving skills and your "proven battles".

...apparently not enough to know that you can't put a 2-liter-sized piston in a 1.8-liter-sized bore.... :biggrin:

Good catch, snyper. That'd mean a .9mm longer stroke.

A lot of work for 10 hp (MR18 to MR20 swap).

all thats different is the crankshaft, and the rods. piston sizes are the same. actually its a 20tq and 18hp difference, also, the versa is roughly 200lbs lighter. so even if that all the hp and tq gets reduced by the time it hits the wheels you also have a slightly better power to weight ratio. the difference between the mr18 and mr20 in the v is awesome. cool thing to, you don't have to change the ecu.

just dropping an mr20 in the versa is easier, in my case cheaper too.

Graveyards have a lot of occupants from roads that street racers thought were empty or abandoned. Go to a legitimate track.

As for cars i've beat, none. The Versa is slow. The other drivers must have let you win. A Toyota Corolla rental I had the other day is faster.
I'm with this guy... I drive a Chev 2500 all the time and it beats the hell out of my versa in acceleration from stopped and rolling. And the extended express 3500 I drive daily for work is also definitely faster. It has the 8.1 though. No way in hell could a versa beat any of those cars unless their drivers were either A) Not racing you; or B)Completely incompetent, more than likely drunk.
