plans are to keep it simple for a while, I wanna enjoy a nice reliable car, I don't need crazy power or anything, I'd just like it to have about 40 more HP..and a big part of that will be a reflash eventually... since the stock power band is odd, and really only has a 3k-5k rpm sweet spot.

Congrats, Pat! So happy for you.

I knew these came with Brembos, but are those 6-piston Brembos (Hard for me to tell in the pic)? Isn't that a bit overkill for a 210HP car? Well whatever, they look beyond sick.

thanks jul!

nah they're 4 piston.....lol yes they're complete overkill...but then again, the 04-06 spec-vs had a brembo option.

Not bad dude. Not bad at all. Take care of it. thoes coupes aere some bad a$$ cars.

very nice!

If they are 4-Piston then they aren't overkill, I only meant it was overkill if they were 6-pot. I don't think 4-pot brakes are overkill on any car, but 6-pot on anything under 400HP (hell even 350) is. I have 4 pot brakes on my Sentra, and wouldn't you know it, Wilwood makes a 6 piston brake kit for Sentras. I think I even saw an 8-Piston set for them once.

Also, I think the only reason the 04-06 had the Brembo Option, was because they were aware how bad the torque steer could be in those cars so they threw in some better brakes to help fight it. Don't quote me on that but that is my opinion.

as i said before, very nice car. Hope to see a drop and aggressive rim set up on this one day lol

rear end looks good. that plate still rules.

congrats bro

PATRUCKKKKK knows what to do

The coupes are sweet. good pickup.

Nice!! yeah save for the reflash, it makes the car much more enjoyable


keep it clean!! and good luck!!

Looks good, now lets put a 2JZ in her

Very nice, Pat!

thanks dudes!

yeah, it's not a bad car stock...but the stock tune IMO doesn't really encourage spirited driving like you'd expect from a car like this....it has a much more economical tune, almost like you have to go out of your way to enjoy the car (not that I necessarily mind that) that's just what it feels like to me IMO...
