Got pictures of my Eclipse and my bro's GTA. Took the picture of my bro's car by possible the most nastiest hockey rink ever.

Those are cash rims man... I've seen some like that on an Escalade at the local golf club here. :D

Thanks, I dicided to get the 17"s. I wanted to get black rims but i didnt think they'd look so good on the car. All my friends were just like "get dubs'! haha. Not after i just change my injectors im outta cash <_<

And whoever was going to rice out whatever car they got with the neon lights....first things you should do is make the car go fast, then make it look good. I'd rather have a "sleeper" then somethin that looks nice but goes slower than my 1985 camry...just my thoughts.

that was a complete joke, cuz seeing as how my car's japanese anyways, i might as well rice it up, its only fitting

does anyone here know how to program an engine computer?

What are you trying to accomplish? If you just want to turn off a CEL, disconnect the negative battery terminal. If you want to read codes off the computer, buy a scanner. If you want to change the computers behavior, well that'll cost you and you shouldnt be researching that here, find a car forum for your car.

i just want to know what changing the behaviour of the computer does for the engine, just curious

[dgaronzik 1]

you can do a lot by changing the ECU of a car, if its something you really are interested in, check out a forum for your particular car and see whats possible. I know with my car (Mazda 6), companies are just starting to look into piggyback systems and reprograms to change the timing, A/F ratios, etc. I have an injen intake on my car for example that throws a CEL and makes the car run lean. A company in MD just released a fix that takes out the CEL and returns the car to factory A/F ratios while adding hp and tq.

if you get the Z, make sure you get the orange one :D

[LegoDoom 0]

Yeah, get the orange with the orange interior.

why get a Z at all, get a honda element or a scion bbx, those things are mad bling bling yo :D

[Cavs019 708]

I prefer the g35 coupe over the Z, much smoother body.

[Chadd 916]

The Z isn't bad looking at all

i'd say its the nicest looking sports car for under 40k

[LegoDoom 0]

And how many sports cars are there for under $40k? The rx-8, and that has the sissy doors, which makes it almost not qualify.

2004 Honda Accord LX - wife's car...but I get to visit it on the weekends :P

1992 Honda Accord LX

[JR Boucicaut 3802]

I'd go S2000 for under $40k :)

[LegoDoom 0]

I used to have one..... and I'd rather have a Z.

[Lightning 0]

THe g35 coupe looks a little too smooth I think, but I do like the fact that is does have 2 small seats in the back instead of nothing like the Z, but hey im not trying to move lumber or anything anyway so what does it matter. Also the Z comes as a convertible now too! I dont know if a hockey bag will fit in the back though. that is one of the things I will check when test driving, if it cant fit must forget!

[asdfa 0]

i think it should be able to fit a hockey bag, it can fit 2 golf bags...

[Cavs019 708]

I'll take a used z3 3.0 or a boxster over the Z any day of the week for under 40.

A buddy of mine is a Sales Mgr at a local Nissan Infiniti dealership. The Z he bought is very nice - the orange/orange, but I like the look of the G35 coupe. The Z is just missing that 'something'.

S2000 is a screamer, only real fun if you get into the good cam lobes. Not fun around town, but on a twisty country road it's wonderful.

Is the WRX STi under $40K in the US? Four doors, decent trunk, AWD and a BIG amount of boost.

[dgaronzik 1]

Theres this guy who might work for Subaru corporate in Cherry Hill, Nj that screams around town in his STI. The first time I saw him, I was at a stop light turning onto a highway and he took a right hand turn off the highway at around 40ish Id have to guess. And Im not talking about a ramp, Im talking a stop light right hand turn. Talk about AWD goodness.

[J-Shera 0]

All Wheel Drive, 300 hp, Turbo Goodness and mad style. Id take a STi any day!
