[~The_Duke~]

I dont have one but I know that TOP has got one of his with the NISMO front lip on it...

Yeah true, few bolts(i/h/e) and you should be even with the rex's.

I beat my friend by a half a car.
His 02 rex's(i/ss/clutch)
Mine 05(i/h/e/clutch)

specV-153whp(i/h/e)-170-180whp right
160wtq(i/h/e)-175-185wtq right

02 Rex- 180awhp(i)-185awhp
190awtq(i)-195awhp

conclusion(???) your friend didn't know how to drive

[~The_Duke~]

Call me a moron all you want, but da fuck is a 'Rex'?

[Sammich]

hope he doesnt mind me using his pics..

i see where your coming from but its something about the 02-03 bumper that looks more aggressive to me. that front end right there(although we know this car is a sentra at heart) puts it back to too much 'plainness' if that makes any sense. w/ the 02-03 spec v i wouldnt do anything w/ it as far as cosmetics, except maybe some wheels

Oil consumption issues...

i think they meant RSX

yea i read about that in two links that was posted, which can result in fire, but that was the 06 spec v's, im looking at a 02

WRX

WRX

i doubt very seriously a spec v can mess w/ a wrx w/ just a couple of bolt ons

[Maniaç]

Its just a nickname for a wrx( rex, suby,scooby, t-rex)

[Sammich]

i cant really see a spec v w/ a wrx w/ only a few bolt ons. maybe im not too opened minded on the spec's??

[Maniaç]

word, I have seen a vid of a rsx-s with i/h/e and hodata vs a specv with i/e/h/flywheel/clutch/ and some other stuff and still loseing to the rsx.

I eat rsx's, but they are pretty quick. I think all the specV owners should just boost it or swap it to a VQ

[~The_Duke~]

Ahhh...aight...nah a spec V cant keep up with one of those things...it doesnt get totally torn apart, but it doesnt come close to winning either...

With the front end debate, I dont care for 'aggressive' looking cars I like clean smooth looking better than I am going to kick your ass...but that is my personal thought on that...plus IMO it makes you look kind of dumb if you dont kick someone's ass...

[Sammich]

yea cuz its only a 15.9 car right?? i always thought that the specs were in the mid to low 15s, not high 15s

[Sammich]

DUKE speaks truth you do look stupid if you dont beat anyone. but im not a person to change cosmetics on a car that drastically, the most i'd rather change on a car is maybe a lip kit and a set of rims and call it a day, then i'd get into the engine ya know

[~The_Duke~]

yea cuz its only a 15.9 car right?? i always thought that the specs were in the mid to low 15s, not high 15s

While I was shopping for mine I found things say all 3 things... but I found more that said like 15.3-5ish more often than 15.9 or 15.1...

With a CAI and exhaust I believe they run about a 14.8 or 9 though...

[Sammich]

thats probably why i was thinking low 15s b/c of i/e

[Maniaç]

My bad the type s only had i/ecu

check it out.

Here all those yrs I have been being called a moron for thinking this lol

Shit I am just going to do engine stuff til I am satitisfied like CAI, exhaust, and maybe some headers and stuff like that...I dont want to boost it...cas if I have enough money for that I am just going to buy a supra...

[~The_Duke~]

I have spanked the crap out of a Cobalt (not the SS one) and countless civics in mine...and was neck 'n neck with a bimmer Z3 up 60...

[Sammich]

wow, rsx is a demon in 3rd gear on that spec v. at least i know i wont be doing any racing lol

[~The_Duke~]

but the question is what does the RSX top out at...

lol probably some ricers in that mix that called you a moron but for real, i dont think i would do a vq35 swap, i'd probably just boost it, im more of a turbo guy, i dont know too much more about s/c other than the belt driven and centrifugal

[Sammich]

but the question is what does the RSX top out at...

so your saying that the spec v is more of a highway/rolling car than off the line 1/4mile car??

[Maniaç]

if it wasn't a 1/4 car why nissan give them the LSD??

[~The_Duke~]

With my experances in this car so far yes...cas he there hadnt been so much traffic involved keebler's R33 GTS-ST skyline was barely pulling away and I mean you dont have shift out of 5th til like 110-120 mph or so...lol

interesting, very nice indeed

[~The_Duke~]

cas if you stomp on it and you dont have bad ass tires they slip like a bitch and if you are going around a corner fast and you shift from 2nd to 3rd it will slip...

[Sammich]

bang bang lol

Crazy Asian knows this for a fact...me lil paki keebler and him were hawling through traffic the other day and CA's lude toped out and I drove past him and then shift into 6th to save gas...~120mph or so...in my defense I didnt know where I was going and had to keep up or get lost

I was confused at this point cas I thought I had a limiter on there...

sounds like me

[~The_Duke~]

Sorry for the after post edit lol

[~The_Duke~]

bang bang lol

What do you mean by that lol

[Sammich]

^^stupid terminology of agreeing on the purpose of the LSD

Another good thing about these things is that you can cruise down the highway in a normal driving situation at 65mph in 6th at 2500rpm...getting like 35mpgish(or higher)...according to the on board computer thing.

[Sammich]

whoa thats hot, i need a good gas mileage car, only 13.2 gal tank too

[~The_Duke~]

ya it is only 13 gal tank...the only issue is that if you start having fun your gas milege gets really really shitty really fast...cas you can get good gas milege driving down the highway at 65 or so, but then we you start driving on fun roads and doing stop light to stop light...ya you get like 22mpg if you are lucky lol

[Sammich]

mm..well i was hopefully going to use it just for trips and back and forth to work, i have an 88 toyota p/u that i use the most. mainly need a/c

[~The_Duke~]

Well that a Spec V would be good for you because it is fun and gets pretty good gas milege at the same time...and you can put the ricers and their civics back in place with it on the way to work
