welcome to the site!

The rallyart seat has been removed, it didn't fit correctly.
The wing has been on the car for almost 5 years, I havent been called a ricer yet (at least not to my face). To be quite honest I don't care if I do get called a ricer or not. At least the wing isn't aluminium, and it is painted to match the car.
BTW for a N/A 4 cylinder ATX it doesn't do too bad at the track, it runs the quarter mile in the mid to upper 17's.

httrdd · 11-12-2011, 06:51 PM

Hey thats funny my Xterra prob runs the same time. ;) I would say loose the wing and add more low.

PunkboySL2 · 11-12-2011, 06:53 PM

Not trying to poke fun, but that's really really slow haha. My car's in stock trim with a couple bolt ons will run low 15s and I still think they don't get out of their own way very well like that.

Yeah, 17's isn't all that impressive. My BONE STOCK Lancer probably run's high 15's low 16's. Not bad for a 4 door car.

We dont mean to hate, just like httrdd said, drop the fast and furious wing and slam that bitch then bam!

yellow2000S/R · 11-12-2011, 07:58 PM

Mildly modded ATX can run mid to upper 15 in 1/4 mile as a few have shown. Manuals run low 16s and high 15s bone stock with at least a somewhat decent driver. Differential is the weak link in the mtx and can be broke n/a followed by 3rd gear stripping at only ~300hp if you beat on it to hard.

hahahaha no. Your car would not run low 16s. I can say 17s with you driving.

Eric wouldn't run his car..he would make me do it

So glad you got rid of these fenders. What were you thinking lol DEF not feeling that wing though

david gettle · 11-13-2011, 03:14 PM

I don't have the mirror covers or bug shield on the car either.
The drag race times were after a 200+ mile drive without letting the engine cool off in 90 degree plus weather.
The car is lowered 1.5" (not in the above photo), and with the roads I drive on I can't lower it any more or it would constantly bottom out. I intend to keep the car for a while, so I don't want it physically beat to crap.
BTW, to the guys that are not liking the wing, Thank you for your opinion. Personaly, I would prefer if it didn't stick up as high as it does, but it is what it is. I may attempt to make a new set of verticals for it once I get some more practice with fiberglass work.

Mabe the car is a little riced with the wing, but it has placed more than once at national car shows.

Shipman · 11-13-2011, 03:46 PM

Stop it
