CRX VTEC?? (CRX never had VTEC from the factory unless you're talking the Del Sol) Did you do a swap? That sucks either way... Rexes are fun cars...

Here's me 95 Eclipse GS-T... I want AWD dammit!

SuperTool your ride is tight!!! I may have to PM you and ask you for some tips on fixing up my Maxima.

Go ahead. But the guys on Maxima.org forums might help you better. I just have the tint, the 2000 Maxima SE rims and the clear corners as far as appearance. No dropping yet.

4 wheel drive is like having training wheels. Real men don't need 4 wheel drive.

Damn, why did it have to be 2 wheel drive?

I drove a 1966 Mustang Fastback, in the snow, through high school and never got stuck. All my family ever owned were either front wheel drives or that Volkswagen Fastback that was rear engine, rear wheel drive. In the six years I plowed snow for Caltrans (CA Dept. Transportation) I never did it in a 4 wheel drive. 4 wheel drive is for little old ladies that drive out of a heated garage into the snow to go get their bottle of gin.

TRD Performance Radiator Cap

??????????????


Gain anything out of that?

uhm actually yes.

The TRD Performance Radiator Cap is manufactured with a slightly higher pressure capacity (18.5psi) than its stock counterpart. TRD radiator caps raise the boiling point of the engine coolant, providing improved efficiency and extra protection from a heavily-taxed cooling system

What kind of traction are you putting down back there? Are you Peg Leggin?? (1 tire spins in the snow) if you are it might be time to look into something as far as traction, don't go as far as a Detroit locker, they are killer traction but very loud and harsh on turns. If you are lookin to remedy that if you are only 1 wheel drive I'll ask some of the guys what they have.... I have a stock locker in mine which is pretty descent, not great I'll wait till I blow out the rear end before I replace mine

Exactly paulson, Even a stock 4x4 is really a 2x4 when conditions get tough like one wheel getting caught and the other free in the same axle. It's actually worse than a 2x4 because the wheel without traction will spin like mad while the wheels with traction won't get any power WTF right. Should be the opposite, wheel with traction gets the power. Well the reason they don't do this is for streetablity when cornering. You tires would chip and slide if the axle was welded and break drivlines and wear out tires.

The best solution is a detriot in the rear. The key is never push the accelerator while doing hard turns on road or your axle will lock up and tires will chirp. It's a fact a two wheel drive truck with a locker will perform better off road than a bone stock 4x4 even in four-wheel-drive. Actually all desert pre-runners are two wheel drive with a locker. 4x4's are too heavy and sink in the sand while a two wheel drive with traction can use it's nimbleness and speed to best a 4x4.

Sorry about missing that question.

Right now I wash the truck with Meguiars Gold Class car wash, and dry it with a shammy. I then grab a Meguiars Gold Class applicator pad and use 3M Imperial hand glaze to get rid of any swirls or light scratches, then follow up with Meguiars Gold Class clear coat wax. It seem to work well.

I have some Cherry Wet wax on the way which is supposed to last longer and provide as good, or better, color depth and reflection.

I drive a1996 Eagle Talon

This is a pic taken when I first got my car in January. As of now I took off the black-outs and bra. I also replaced the windshield (no decal). And for all you rice haters out there, the "Eagle" stickers are comming off this weekend

EDIT- Removed the fog lights too. Looking into getting stock fogs but at $200 a piece I dont see it happening any time soon!
