Default She just turned 300,000!!!! pic!



My car just turned 300,000 and i didn't even get a picture right at the turning point!.. ugh oh well at least i got a picture at 300,030?

it feels like just yesterday when i got her at 266,000 miles

and to top it off right after I found out she turned 300,000 I pulled up next to a turbo nissan maxima and i knew he wanted to race, so i dropped her to 1st gear and when the light turned green i smoked him..

then a little after i gave him a car length at the next light and smoked him again!

This is why I love my sc400

nice. I love my maxima, but it's nice to know these can be beasties, even to a turbo maxima, will hold their own. those vq engines can put it down, too.

yeah maybe he had a crappy turbo, but I dont think I should've pulled on him like I did.. he looked russian so it might've just sounded like that.. lol

I still don't think anything stock with 300,000 miles should beat anything with a turbo lmao

Alittle of both, the only parts i have replaced due to failure are the starter, alternator, Exhaust (northeast sucks!) Struts, complete brake system overhaul and bushings.

I'm starting from the front and working backwards. Right now I have one of my spare engines in the machine shop getting machined then its getting a complete overhaul with new everything, I'm ordering new R&P along with both upper and lower arms and rods, new wheel bearing. Once thats all done I will move onto the rear, then the interior.

very nice, the starter sucks to replace ( i've heard ) due to it being underneath the intake system.. That is really wierd that all of those things went out.. these cars are made to last lol

it all sounds good man, i can't wait to see the outcome
