nice car r those 16inch volk te 37 rims?

 

lol yes we are talkin about those new sentras.....

yes thats an accomplishment!

shittttttt, the sentra is in the same class as the protege basically, and the SE-RS an Specvs.... well just are beautiful nissans.

 

no there 17 inch rated r's. and thanks. oh and the sentras arent that slow. im suprised i walked him. oh and yeah he did have two other people in the catr but hey thats his ignorance if hes gonna do that.

 

hehe, you got a BPT, youd walk any stalk SE-R, STOCK that is.....

but seriously, anyone in my area is welcome to test drive my SE-R, the power is amazing out of that little engine, and it pulls like a bitch all the way to 7500rpm.

lol dude wanna race? lemme get my swap (probably by spring) done, the SR20VE-T will woop ****! VVL 200hp N/A engine, with the turbo, so you're talkin easily 300hp if i want..... mmmmmmmmmmm

but i still love my p5, dont worry

in the end, ill always be a mazda guy, but i love my nissans though

 

where u from?

 

I'm sorry if i offended any1, that was not my intention....to be honest, i don't know much about protege's. I used to work for Hudiburg Nissan here in Oklahoma, and i know the spec-v is a suped up version, i just didn't know it was in the same class. (To be honest, i thought the protege was in a higher class, since the interiors, etc. are much nicer than the spec-v's.

Sorry again, i didn't mean to come off as a rude-***.

the normal pros are in the class of the stock sentras the ser sentra is in the class as the new mazdaspeed protege

 

yup exactly,

im not sure what everyone has agains the interior in the spec v, i love it quite frankly! but i havent driven one, or even had a chance.

 

oh forgot to say, welcome aboard dude, glad to see a fellow nissan owner, with as good of taste as you do (i love Zs!)

 

I understand that mis information is a real pain in the ***... When you are stating that you dislike mis information you need to be careful not to "mis-inform" in the same post. Administrators hate that.
A true LSD will help drastically in 60 ft times as well as cornering power. AWD cars have the best 60 ft launches don't they? Effective power delivery to 2 wheels is closer to AWD then 1, at least I thought?

Nissan has been putting some weaker LSD's in their sportier cars lately.(Read about the ******* they threw in the 350Z in SCC) I have driven one of my best friends Spec Vs and I could get the inside tire to scream almost as easily as my P5. The gearing of it is a big disadvantage (something like 42mph in 2nd?!). Combine a close ratio 6 spd. with a low reving, flat torqued engine and you will be shifting that cable linkage all day long. The gearbox does not take advantage of the engines torque at all. That is another reason why the 0-60 times were not sub 7 sec, like everyone said they would be. It can barely squirt a 99 or 00 Si

 

Personally, if i was older and could afford a sentra SE-R i would spring for it. My 99 Protege ES is slower then ***** even with my intake and exhaust. I would love to have a car that is faster then this thing... stock. And if you go strap a turbo on ur Protege what's to say the guys with the SE-R's won't too? And when they do.. it'll be a never ending cycle of our little protege's gettin beat by our main competition. Its sad really that a Non turbo can pump out more power then the MS Protege too. I have no problems with my car, I like it an all.. but mazda has to grow some bigger ***** if they wanna compete in this class.

 

MS protege's put more power to the road than spec V's. How is that for stapling on a set???

 

What are you complaining about, you have a 99es 1.8 be happy ,.. chdesign has made a few custom bolt up set ups for you 3rd gen guys and the whole damn kit is like 990 or so ,, if Ihad a 3rd gen 1.8 ., I would jump on that ,... shoot right now I am researching about turbo's for my 1.5L 95 pro ....
bro strap that turbo on and get boost, so what if they get a turbo , they won't blow you by much if any at all

Do you happen to have a website where i can see a pic of that body kit? thanks

 

Well I haven't been to this board in a while, actually since I was car shopping - trying to decide between a new Protege5 and a new Spec-V. I ended up going with the V and love it.

I was disappointed when I came back here to see some people talking how slow V is compared to their protege and whatnot. And how underpowered it is.

Well anyway, correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think there is any protege that can hang stock vs. stock - unless the driver is horrible. I think the Protege 5 and MP3 both do the 1/4 mile in the mid 16s while the SE-Rs and Spec-Vs do it in a second or more quicker - stock...

I am in no way ******* the Protege though, for I do know that they outhandle the V extremely, and many other cars for that matter.

Oh yeah, and don't forget that the LSD is only Limited Slip, that doesn't make it slip-less =). I remember the first time I tried to run my V I was spinning tires until I hit 3rd gear. You still have to learn how to launch, even with the LSD.
