Welcome to the club, mang! Nice color choice too, Sunburst with the 02/03 front end is really nice. Did you get it with the Lava or the Silver interior?
Hey thanks for the info Yep another spec 5 hahaha.
I got my car with the silver/black interior, and my front bumper got a nice big paint chip in it so it looks like it has a mole. Maybe you guys have seen me around.
Anyways, I would like to contribuite to this forum, and cash is the best way for me. The next meeting is on December 4, right?
Sure is! We’d love to see your car there. (Random Austin Powers reference - MOLEY MOLEY MOLEY… :D)
Have you done any mods to your car at all?
If you need help, Chasenyadown/Nick, 2003SpecV/Louis, and Myself (Kris) can help you with everything from CAI, cams, and suspension. Also, if you haven’t loctited your butterfly valves, I’d encourage you to do so. I can help you with that, also!
Dave, shut your mouth or I’ll give you a bannana that will.
Nick had the R-tune header, I do believe. You’re better off buying a hotshot, like I have, or if you don’t care about looks, go with a megan racing or ss autochrome. The performance is pretty much equal across the board. Actually, if you really want to go hard, buy a Strup or DC Sports header, they replace both the header and the midpipe (pipe between the header and catback), and they won’t cost too much more than just a straight header.
As far as the screws, it’s pretty easy. I did mine alone in about 2 hours being really careful. If you have the time some weekend, we could probably get it done in 90 mins or less, although if you’re thinking about getting a CAI it will make taking the intake apart a lot easier. I also have all the stuff we’d need to do it, so it wouldn’t cost you more than a beer or a can of pop.
Forgot, when I said we could help you with mods, I don’t have my mods listed at all:
Power: CAI, Header, Midpipe, Exhaust, Camshafts, Motor mount inserts, grounding kit
Suspension: (All nismo) Front/Rear Swaybars, lower tie bar,suspension, strut tower bar
Brakes: Stainless brake/clutch lines
The only mods I didn’t do myself were the stainless lines and motor mounts. Anything else I would be willing and ready to help you with.
welcome to the board! good to see some more spec’s. i dont think i’ve ever seen a 03 in that colour, i would love to see it at the meet, but sadly im going on vacation and will be where its warm. oh well.
Awww dude -10 points for you! You call him a NOOB and then ask whether he has lava or silver seats after he posted it’s an 03??? WTF dude! You don’t deserve teh Spec V! You should know that all 03’s had silver seats.
If you need help and want to do it in a heated shop with all the tools then want to dyno it later without Nick, Louis, or Kris let me know :finga: ok maybe Louis just cause he sold me a header :E
Because Ryan, I always forget your associations with local shops and pretend that I’m actually halfway competent at mechanicals and just lucky that my car didn’t just fall off the jacks and kill my stupid ass. :E
Yeah, Ryan’s a nice guy - he can help too. Just don’t give him any Tim Horton’s Timbits. For the love of god, don’t do it.
