Even if you did get with her, you would probably get Hepatitis A-Z.

its not even worth it i just rinsed off my altima, as i was drying one section the other section was collecting pollen so i wiped it off... and guess what happened? the other side of the car had pollen!... at least the pollen covers the swirl marks on my half assed compound/wax job that i need to redo asap... im really embarrassed driving the car, and not just cuz its a 4 cyl on stock 16's

Then why are you embarrassed? Maybe because it's not as fly as your TL was?

As much as the pollen sucks, with a white car it doesn't show up too bad. I'm going to wash my car and do a shoot soon. I'm going to make myself a progress thread eventually.

By the way I ordered something for my car last night

Sometimes I wish I would have gotten a 6-speed, but oh well.

I ordered 07-08 base tails. I'm going to open them up and black out the insides

Nah not yet. I'll get a lip spoiler eventually, but it's not at the top of my to-do list.

I need to get a new set of either 6000k or 8000k hid bulbs. My 8000s died a month ago and I can't stand how shitty the 4300k stockies look with my switchbacks.

I ordered the tails last night. I'm meeting up with Daniel (Fulani has a TL) next weekend and he's going to help me open them up and black the insides out. I don't trust myself to do them and he's done his before. I'm pumped.

Sweet, now remember, you said no more mods after this Maybe some floor mats or something but nothing big lol actually I need some floor mats. Did you ever find out how much all 4 floor mats are?

I thought I could be done after I got my pinstripe off and shit, but I can't.

Once the tails and test pipe are on, I'm really going to try to limit my spending. Between my car and food, I spend a shit ton each month.

As for the floor mats I'm considering getting a set of all-weather ones. That way I don't have to vacuum as much when cleaning the inside and I don't have to worry about getting the new ones dirty again. I'll probably wait until after summer to get those, right before the weather gets shitty.

all season ftw... nothing like just being able to take them out and hose em down.... you'll still have to vacuum though it just will be around the edges of the carpet..unless you get the weathertech ones bc thats like getting bullet proof armor for your carpet.

I'll be getting the OEM ones if I get a set. I clean my car weekly and I'm getting sick of my beat up floor mats. I'll take a picture of them tomorrow when I clean the whip. They are gross.

Decisions decisions IDK which one's I'll be getting yet either. But I'm leaning towards OEM, just to keep it stock. I'm pretty clean so I could take real good care of the new floor mats, it's the friends that ride with me who are slobs always getting my shit dirty! It's annoying that I have to tell them each and every time "wipe your feet"

Ok, need some answers lol if you guys can help. I put a thread up about this in Problems&Fixes.

Okay so I did the slave cylinder checkvalve mod on my 6MT about a week ago.

Say I'm going WOT in 2nd gear and when I shift into 3rd really quick it still feels like the clutch isn't letting go all the way. As soon as I shift and let go of the clutch I push the gas pedal all the way but the RPM's just chill at like 4K for a second and then start going up again.

The checkvalve mod helped because the clutch lets go faster now but it's not as fast as I want it to.

Will it help if I replace the slave cylinder? or does it sound like my clutch is slipping?

I don't have a 6-speed so I can't help you there man. Hopefully somebody will respond to your thread.

And as for the floor mats I do want the tan carpet ones but I just feel like the all weather ones will save me time when cleaning and I won't care if somebody gets in my car with wet nasty shoes either.

if youve got the camel interior go with black floormats. the contrast is awesome with the black dash... id go oem too. my moms got the weathertechs in her civic its a little too much imo, they provide awesome protection, fit great, but the look isnt that nice.

yeah it definitely would flow nicely, if you did black carpet too that would be sick, but thats a little more effort than just putting some floor mats in

I cleaned the whip and took some pictures of the floor mats.

The passenger side isn't too bad but around the edges the stitching is starting to come out:





Drivers side is rough with a hole poking through and then a nasty dent where the heel of my foot rests:







And my A-Spec kit is complete
