What did you do to your Sedan today?
#3301
Gutted my trunk and added my new personalized plate - meant to be a cheeky reference to the car's capabilities in the quarter mile.

Probably need to. That seam sealer looks fugly. I used dry ice for the flat section of sound deadening and my wife's hair dryer for the backs of the wheel arches. All this in 110+ deg Arizona summer heat.

Besides the decent weight savings of removing nearly everything in the trunk, I was hoping I'd hear more of my Invidia Q300 cat back exhaust because it's otherwise fairly quiet from inside the car. I'd say this helped a bit, but I'm sure I'll be even more pleased when I get my FI RHFCs in and installed. FWIW, it sounds no different if I have that pass through door open or closed on a full acceleration.

Finally got my coilovers dialed in and spacers on. Check my build thread for pictures. Just need an alignment now. No camber kit- fitment looks perfect and camber doesn't look extreme

100lbs = .1 in the 1/4 mile

I think he was just experimenting with the trunk. Doesn't make any sense to leave it like that.

Fair question. A couple things: (1) I work from home and do not commute, (2) we have a second vehicle for things like hauling kids, trips to Costco, etc., (3) other than removing the sound-deadening, it's all temporary, and (4) I'm chasing lower e.t.s in the quarter mile on a budget and the reduction in weight for the trunk items + lighter exhaust + lighter cats + removal of the window washer fluid reservoir in the engine bay all contributes to that. I'm planning on running when temps cool down in PHX. Will update the 1/4 mile time slip thread when I do. Then I can put stuff back in and call it a day

No problem. I've had lots of practice articulating my rationale to my wife and my buddies . Sigh, what chasing time slips will cause a man to do sometimes...

I just spent $300 on the premium floor mats ...refused to spend $100 on another set of the standard mats and really nothing in the name of after market...my mat was disgusting...quality is poor on the standard mats. Sort of an across the board issue with Nissan in my opinion. My mazda's and vw had fantastic mats and base carpet. Had a Merc C280 AMG and that was amazing quality carpets.
Its the little things...
