RCL's progress thread-2006 coupe 6mt premium package black/black
 

I picked this up on 6/8/12. It has 74k miles and other than the typical tear in the drivers seat leather its in great shape! Fully loaded w/ navi and everything.

I installed the clear corners before I even made it home and here's how it sits now pretty stock:

I already put a sub in it and I ordered a new brushed silver titanium shift knob and polished strut bar. I plan to mod this for looks than "go" because it seems that our cars don't make too much power with bolt ons. Wheels and coilovers will be the next mods in a few months!

Nice pick up from the future :biggthumpup:


Who said these cars cant go???

lol I fixed that now. I spent a lot of time reading here and it seems that the hp gains from bolt ons in our cars is very minimal in contrast to say a k20 civic si which can do a intake exhaust and tune and net like 50whp. Don't get me wrong I love nissans and I love my G but it just doesn't seem cost effective to go n/a on this car. I think Im going to leave the intake stock and just get a cat back for looks more than anything else. However wheels and coilovers are the first big mod Im going to do.

Nice pick up! Black on black always my fav combo.

Any ideas on what wheels you gonna go with?

GL with the build. Just put coils and a exhaust on my car and it's like having a new car every time you do something to it. Up next wheels

I think Im going to go with tein basic dampers coilovers and prob some BBS lm reps because I cant afford 4k on a real set lol.

The mods are coming soon though, very very soon.

I only plan of lowering 1-2 inches, is it necessary to get the spc camber kits? Do our cars have camber problems that bad? I just want to prepare so I dont eat through 19 inch tires! lol

can't wait to see it once it's lowered and wheels

Clean! Looks good.

Very clean!

I already spoke on ImportAtlanta, but I will yell again-

Welcome!

Thanks! I'm about to get. Set of tein coilovers in a few days and I'm waiting on a reply from a member on here about buying his bbs RGR's!

k20s love bolt ons


nice pick up!

so shift knob came in, stut bar came in, and I did the spark plugs....which were a bitch......and 2 of the 3 in bank 1 had oil on them so I guess Ill be changing the VC's soon.
