Versa S (for Sport)

[Eye of the Tiger]

The tires are so grippy that they reveal the limits of the suspension, especially taking any turns over 110 MPH. It is basically crap. Accent was way better stock, lifted, with cut springs and with sport springs. Need to think about this one.

You sure your not reading the speedo in KPH?

Is that like knots per hour?

Is that like knots per hour?

If so, I hope the knot counter was at least wearing some gloves.

I don't get why nautical miles per hour is knots. It should be nauts.

[Soup DeVille]

Because they were actual knots. On a line. Tied to a log. One knot is 8 fathoms/28 seconds.

Nautical just means water and fitness equipment.

Oh.
I've actually done that before, and I forgot.
It sucks pulling the line back in.

Versa S for Splash with mud spray graphics package.
And/or, the day after I washed it, I had to drive down a muddy dirt road.
Wow, that is certainly not a great looking car.

[Cookie Monster]

Jesus Christ those wheels look comically small.

[CaminoRacer]

Especially the rear. The quarter panel is like twice as big as the tire height.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Fya. Smaller wheels are faster. They are 12.8 pounds, each.

Yeah, it looks so good with that lip, but I have to wait until LAND driveway to see if I can get away with that.

Get the stick on foam stuff from eBay.  Mine scraped driveways and shit and never came off.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
I did lawn&garden edging on the 'st33m wagon, and it was pretty tough.

It's basically garden wedding that comes with 3m tape pre applied

I am not getting married. Even if I do get married, it won't be in some prissy garden. It will be on my LAND, or on some remote mountain top.

Flimsy stuff like that isn't gonna do anything for your aero.

Bs. Have you seen the chintzy plastic aero enhancers they put under cars these days? Lawn&garden edging is thicker and more stiffer.

What is cooking this afternoon?

[Eye of the Tiger]

All done. Just needs race tyres.

Here is the deal. I don't have coilover money right now, and autox season starts next month. I will just have to get a rear sway bar and run H-Street class this year. Aside from that, I don't know about this engine knocking. It's not horrible, yet, but I don't want these Nissan fools looking at a race car and denying the powertrain warranty.

[Eye of the Tiger]

This is bullshit. I could probably get coilovers next month, and change classes after that. Damn Nissan can't build an engine, though.

Should I wait until the engine dies, or just bring it in right now?

What's knocking?  Hydraulic valve lash adjusters?

Rod bearing, I assume.
