It was actually too big. Some of the shrouds were under the fascia. It was an APS DR 650. You can reference Cosmo on the great cutting job.

 

Nice,
Which turbo were you running in that thing?

 

Well the short list was:
IHI Vf-34
DR650 FMIC (turbo XS hyperflow Top mount)
Sti 550 pink inj
Turbo XS Utec
*Every BOV available for the WRX
*Every Intake available for the WRX
HKS Uppipe and Header
Invidia Downpipe
*Greddy Evo, Bosal, and ATR catbacks

Thats all I can remember off the top of my head...but I am glad that car is gone... was nothing but a headache. Everyone remembers the 3rd gear knock, the lousy first gear synchros,the mystery exhaust/boost leak, the stuck wide open wastegate and the definitive lack of an AWD dyno = one poorly running WRX!

Lesson for the day kids... Any dumbass (myself mentioned) can take a good car and F**k it up by not having the mechanical aptitude to properly install and tune performance parts. I am honestly surprised how my car lasted the 3 years I had it!

But back to the main subject....not just because I have one now but the Infiniti is a helluva lot more car! More power, more prestige, more luxury and higher insurance premiums.

 

I still firmly believe it was operator error that was the main problem with that thing....



But, just so everyone knows, Chris has already uttered the infamous words: "I'm not going to do anything to this car. It's going to remain completely stock. Well, except for a couple things..."

 

I concur with your assessment however, you have to acknowledge the fact that the car was disassembled and reassembled one time too many! Anyway, water under the bridge....

I did have a little fun this morning being that i am not accustomed to the dynamics of the infiniti yet. I was making a left hand turn in quite a bit of a hurry and being used to AWD, i gave it a little gas and fishtailed. Man I am starting to get concerned about the upcoming snow and how this beast is gonna handle!!!!!

Anyone have any good snow tires for sale?????

 

If it handles anything like my Z in the snow, you better get some real good snow tires if you plan on driving it in the snow at all.

 

"I'm going to leave this one stock"

^ BULLSHIT!!! stock sucks. Unless your wifey is a gear head she'll never know what's up unless you put a very loud exhaust on it

 

Not a fan of red cars, but G35's are pimp. Nice pick up.

 

Thanks for the props!

I have been on a few forums and most say that the CAI from Injen is a good addition. I think I could probably sneak that in under the radar! However, I am looking for a bit of fuel efficency because i have to travel 40 miles highway to and from work and that puts a slight pinch on the pocketbook. Considering my wrx was only getting 19-20 mpg, I'm hoping the G will do a little better!

 

And so it begins....
