furthering my world takeover, one forum at a time.

yo. you can probably guess my car seeing as its my SN. bought it about a month ago.
havent gotten a stopwatch on it yet but i do know it likes to stop accelerating at around 135 with the sunroof open...
could be worse i guess for a non turbo.
anyways current mods =
racing beat headers, heat wrapped
racing beat dual exhaust
some unknown short shifter that rattles badly
as far as i know the brakes are stock except for slotted rotors
stock rims, gay tires
mazdatrix 4 point front strut brace
tokico HP struts all around
eibach prokit springs all around
ARC radiator cap
next mods coming are gonna be generally cleaning up the engine bay and improving the old worn out suspension parts. not too wild as of yet because its my daily driver for the summer.

Sounds like you have a solid, modded car there! Don't mess up anything (like to removing the entire interior to save weight), and you'll be happy with your car until it's time for a port and rebuild. Except for maybe a lightweight flywheel, those kick ***.

thanks for the review.
yeah im at least smart when it comes to cars, my background is 80s japanese cars in general, specifically up to this point it has been nissans. even if it gets some sort of rudimentary 4 point cage or something the interior is staying and hopefully i can find replacements for my cracked radio/climate surround. and other various old cracked pieces. the car is gonna be modded into a fast track car that can still go get groceries or the occasional road trip without complaint. oh btw i dont know how good this is but that top speed sprint i took was on such a road trip (sort of a road trip anyways).
260 miles round trip, about 40 of it city driving under 35mph. plenty of *******-type driving displays, when i topped it out i kept it there for a sec, but anyways came home and filled up the tank to the tune of a solid 26 mpg. other than that, im always hovering around 21 mpg mostly city.
