Sweet, two G35's. I like both of them.

I really like the rear spoilers on them too. If it were my choice, I would have gotten one. Anyway, the six speed G35 comes with those 18" wheels and brembo brakes along with a limited slip differential. Otherwise, the car gets the 17" wheels.

Rollin on Dub's huh! 20" is a big wheel it's going to raise the car up even more. (I'm actually really trying to convince you to get some suspension work done.)
I do however know what you mean about having to avoid speed bumps and steep driveways as I am now limited to using only one of the two exits there are in my parking lot. BUT the increase in handling performance while still maintaining a comfortable ride is absolutely amazing. I'm really happy with the ride and looks that it gave the car. (got rid of that ugly wheel well gap. )

Do it Jordan, Doooooooooo it! It's a beautiful car, and I'm sure you will want to go faster, because you will get used to the stock power and be left craving more.

Yeah, you're probably right...I'm going to have to get a new suspension. Are you really satisfied with the comfort of the new ride? I don't mind a stiff ride, but I don't want any rattles starting on the inside any sooner than they have to.

Me and my dad just installed his Borla exhaust this weekend. The sound is great! Not too loud and a really great tone. Only $750 shipped for a true dual exhaust is hard to beat. I have more pics if you are interested.

What a coincidence! I'm glad to hear you guys are happy with it. I take it you installed it yourself? I don't trust myself enough to do something like that...do you have any idea on how much it would probably cost to have it done by a professional?

I think it's the rear spoiler that does it for me.

Yes, I love the spoiler...my car also has a "front lip" too.

What are the size of the stock wheels?

You can get stock 17's or 18's. Ser0119's dad's are the 18's, mine are the 17's () but it doesn't bother me that much as I planned on getting aftermarket rims when I bought the car.

...unless you get the Performance Tire & Wheel package. Sometimes I wish I had just gone ahead and ordered a 6 speed rather than just buying the automatic there on the lot, but then I would probably still be waiting to take delivery of it!

Nice car Jordan, Ser0119. I would think all your car needs are some rims. The car seems low enough already. The spoiler also looks great! Ser0119's Borla Exhuast. Try getting a video/audio of the sound.

👍 Nice cars!

Here is a good video comparing the stock exhaust with the new Borla. You might have to log into ImageStation.com to view that file...I'm not sure.

Yes, I'm definately satisfied with the comfort of the ride. I chose the HKS LS Coilover system. It is specifically designed for sport/luxury sedans. It's spring and dampening levels are more aggresive than stock, but they are also intended to preserve ride quality. I think HKS nailed it with that coilover set.

However, I can't say if it has caused any rattles as I have 2 12" subwoofers that have contributed to some rattles over time. But I'm sure that the fit and finish of your car wont easily lead to any rattles.

We did it ourselves and it took about 2 hours. A lot of that time was just spent aligning the pipes as the system uses stainless steel clamps instead of flanges to hook the pipes together. The hardest part was getting the cat. bolts loose and getting the stock muffler out of the hangers. The system must save a serious amount of weight as the whole Borla probably only weighs as much as the stock muffler. I can't help you on the cost though. As long as you have the tools it is very easy, but I completely understand not wanting to go taking apart your new car.

Here's my fun car:

Its a black 1989 Nissan 240SX Fastback SE. It serves as my daily driver and autocross toy. It has been very reliable to me and remains stock till the end of this autocross season.

Here is my show car:

It is a Dean Jefferies Automotive Styling Kyote 1 fiberglass dune buggy on a '63 VW frame

many many more pics of the 240 here:

Nice cars, man. 👍

 

[Hyundai Racer]

Here are my rides:

This one is my current car here in Korea, not a Ford Festiva, it's a Kia Pride, which is a Korean made version of the Mazda 121. The Ford Festiva actually was made in Korea by Kia and rebadged as a Ford (like anyone cares). I removed the original small carburetor and added a dual carburator from a larger Kia. I also did a home porting job between the carburetor, intake manifold and head. Next I plan on adding bigger exhaust pipes This car is fun to drive... it's light, small and because of the small tires and short gears it accelerates quite well... and the whole car (including mods) coste me $400...

This one is my car in the USA, I have the suspension upgraded with wider swaybars and better shocks. When I go back to the US I will add lower springs, some 15" rims, and a larger throttle body I bought here in Korea.

This one my ride at work.... 9000hp on two tubine engines, 200 mph top speed, carries 36 people and lifts 50000 pounds... and it will take you anywhere in the world... Kabul and Baghdad included... the ultimate SUV!!

Nah, I wish! I am the crewchief in the back. We actually work as much as the pilot, but get paid less.... It takes at least one extra set of eyes in the back to land this monster... that's where I come in

 

[Vasco]

Those rotors look like they'd collide if they were started up...:|

There are some really nice rides around GTPlanet.

They do look like they would... but they are sinchnonized through a large 8" thick driveshaft that connects them to the central transmission (combining transmission). That monster has 5 transmissions...

This is my parents 1976 Leyland Mini Clubman S. It has a 1098cc engine and also happens to sound pretty sweet! I am trying to convince my parents to by some ROH mags but they will cost $1200, about the third of the price of the car! Sorry about the quality, my camera sucks! oh and nice car jordan!

Hey, nice car! I like Clubmans! When I lived in Miami I owned a VW Scirocco 16v, and out VW club regularly met with the local Mini club... there were some very nice ones! Everything from stock to mild to wild... There was a bright yellow Clubman with a 1300cc and double 40mm side-draft Dellortos... (side-draught Dellortos to you) That car was sweet! You got any more Mini pics?

Damn, I miss my Scirocco...
