1. Convert back to stock bumpers. take off side skirts.

i say jus stick with it, its polyurathen, means it can take a beating lol
no point of spending money right now jus to go back to stock

Quote:

5. Stereo. New headunit, new speakers, And im gona fit 2 8 inch subs in the cubby hole storage behind the seats

i never knew they made 8 inch subs, those must be sum real cute looking ones lol

Quote:

6. And in the future wider tires and stiffer shocks. It handles GREAT but rolls a bit too much, and it really feels like its chewing up the outside tires in turns.

how wide are you talking about in here? cuz if youre going for the best setup
i've seen em, they had to use the widebodykit,
this would be the perfect time for you to replace that bodykit that you have already

I want to change it cause i dont like it, Plus i can just sell someone the body kit and have him give me his stock bumpers when hes done. Ill take a core charge haha. I want to put like 17x7s on, with 225s all around or so. Not much bigger (stock is 185 front 205 rear). And yes, 8 inch subs are the ones in bazooka tubes (the amp/sub in one things). They sound good, tight response and all cause there smaller, just less total bass, but i dont want a lot anyway, just more than the 6.5s can make.

kinda gave me a good idea there, thanx

cuz i was thinking of putting a custom layout in between the space by the back of the backseat ,in the middle of the rear suspension , but even the 10's were a little too big

and i dunt really want anything that heavy,
im desperate to get the car on a diet

how many pounds each are the 8 inch subs?

Isphius · 09-19-2006, 05:44 AM

Ive also got an appointment to race an n/a 300zx 5 speed. Should be some fun haha.

Supra2NR · 09-20-2006, 12:17 AM

you got a turbo right?

depends i guess on that the other guys has,

but i raced a 93 2-seater 300zx n/a
and i got him by a car with my 88 n/a

Isphius · 09-23-2006, 12:32 AM

Im racing him in my mr2. And if you beat him, this car is faster than my mk3 n/a was.

Supra2NR · 09-23-2006, 12:38 AM

you hav an lightcar, hopefully he doesnt have that much mods, and you will take him with no problems

cuz the zx that i raced somewhat got me off the line cuz i spinned too much
but i caught up slowly and ended up a car ahead of him

And i figured id post a kinda shortened review for everyone. here it goes

Outside - I love the way the car looks. Everyone gives me stares and the "nice car" face of the smiling nodding kinda thing, Like when you get straight As and show your parents. And every girl will either look at it lol. And I like the car asthetically, Or I wouldnt buy it.

Inside - I love the cockpit. Everything is intelligently placed, And easy to find without having to glance after you touch it a few times. Unlike the supra, where the window buttons are hard to reach and all the CC buttons are real close together. I like the gauges too, Not too many, But enough to tell you whats going on. Its got a temp and gas gauge small, Large tach, Almost as big speedo. And it has idiot lights for everything else. Very nice layut inside. I also love the wheel and shifter. There both in perfect places and feel perfect for the car

Drive - Ride is kinda bouncy, But not bad. It handles AMAZING. Esepcially compared to my supra with beat shocks. The engine has a good powerband, But could use a few more CCs. You can kinda tell its a little tiny motor still. It has plenty of power to get up and go, Especially in 1st and 2nd gear. And torque is awesome for a 4 cyl. You can just put arounf at 1500 rpms all day. The clutch is my only complaint. It is getting changed soon. It doesnt have enough grab for what im used to, Its kinda soft and squish under power, Which makes me affraid to really launch it because it slips too much. The car wont even spin wheels on dry road because of the soft clutch and the motor being in the back. Overall, very fun car to drive. I have to get a g-tech pro and see what kinda cornering Gs it can do, It has to be at least .98 or maybe even higher. I was reading a magazine where they changed to 17s and TRD suspension and pulled 1.01G. Not bad at all for how small and rear biased the car is.

newbsupra · 09-23-2006, 10:05 PM

i raced a an older 300zx, was and 86 or 87, with my 87 supra and whooped him by a good 2 car lengths and i didnt rev it past 4500. im sure i could take one of the newer n/a 300zx's

Isphius · 10-30-2006, 06:41 AM

Yeah, There not as fast as everyone thinks lol. And anyway, Heres a video for anyone who cares...got to 60 in about 6.9 secs, 70 in 7.5. Count in the video if you want. Just before 2nd gear is 60. And that little squirt in 3rd was 70. Could have been faster if not for the sand. But I think the tires slipping a little may have helped if it didnt get from like 0-5 so slow. It felt faster when the tires were only spinning a little after that tho. Which mean i have to practice doing that on purpose!
