Introducing myself
Hi everyone
I just thought id semi-formally introduce myself.
Zac, 17, Hawaii.
I picked up a 4th gen maybe a month ago.
Was looking at the 5 spd 4th gens for a while.
I think i got a pretty good deal. Fairly modded maxi at a great price.
Picked it up for $1000, got it painted for $700.
Mods include:
z32 maf
z32TT injectors
sard fpr
tein h tech springs
morgan shocks
rear sway bar
upper front and rear strut bars
cross drilled rotors
stage 3 clutch
sarona mesh grill
clear corners
cefiro headlights
red/clear tails
tint - if that counts
Plans:
Alloy rims (from a 350 or newer maxi or altima)
Downgrade from H techs to S techs.. i want it lower
add stock spoiler
Nothing else major, just interior work etc.. maybe replace the seats with leather.
Heres a picture of my car:
the picture makes it look a lot better than it is.. the side moldings were taken off, and theres a couple of bondo spots, so its uneven on the sides
Anyway, I just wanted to say that this is a great forum, found lots of information here and picked up a few parts.
Thanks!

how polite...
looks like you got a great deal. were the moldings taken off before you got it or by the person who did the paint? research those s techs a lil before you buy em.
welcome to the .org!

Yeah, everything was done by the PO.
I was actually looking at 350z alloys, if the guy still has it when im off from work im picking them up.
I did hear that the S techs arent that great of a ride, but i dont believe i'll feel it much. I had blown shocks in my mr2 and could not feel it at all.
My friend has s techs in his integra and the ride seems fine to me, or is it just s techs for maximas that are bad?
Thanks for all the feedback!

Don't recommend s-techs either. I've been riding on them for about a year or more but the ride could also be bad because of the crappy gr2's (not to mention the roads here in NY suck *****). If you upgrade to 17 or 18" on your current h techs, there will be a difference where you may not even want to drop.
Definitely like the look of the car though. And a very good price for the mods on it.
