This weekend was the second Import Alliance show in Nashville. They basically rent out the Titans Stadium, and people come from all around- More that 1000 cars there today.
Anyway, there was an Infiniti Q45 parked next to me- Big clean rims, and black curtains that were made to fit the car.
I heard at least 4 people say "VIP style". I was like "I SAW IT FIRST ON CLUBSI, SUCKERS!!!11"
I did not see inside the car, but from the outside it looked fine. I've always been about all performance from a driving experience, but I admit its just because that's what I'm attracted to in a car.

so beyond a badge and hood struts... where's the rice? Rice is an attitude, it always has been, it always will be. Tein hood struts, pink i-badge, and a barely function airbox that looks pimp............you probably don't get it.
proof on the intake?
or are you one of those dumbfucks who still believes an intake has nothing to offer an ej257? hell, even if it simply performs as well as the rest, i still paid less for it than anything on the market that's new.
today's fun: invidia catted downpipe in, tanabe medalion touring in, rattle: definitely in. i'm a tad less than pleased with the fit on the fucking tanabe.
rice is a state of mind? k. i mean it's not like i have anything else on my car but some loud fart cannon.

since when? since i'm not all that scared of smog checks, unlike you, and i understand that going standalone, when a turboback is pretty much all i want to run, is just silly. doing the laptop tuner deal wasn't going to work on my car since everything, at the time, was wiping the unique id number from 05+ ecus--another big deal for smog checks.
considering it isn't a great deal of money for me, the convenience of an accessport was ideal. going back to stock for smog checks takes less than 3 hours--including about 40 minutes for the AP to unmarry from my ecu.
you have to consider what you'll be doing come smog check time. you can't just mod stupidly then end up stuck after 5 years have gone by. do i sit here and bitch about nazifornia smog rules? nah. it's not worth it. I adapt and drop some money into a nice little solution that is nearly idiotproof and perfect for a daily driver that sees over 100 miles a day.
OMG I DON'T TUNE WITH FREEWARE AND A 100 DOLLAR LAPTOP? NOOOO
nope.
oh, and yeah, i still dig VIP cars. i'm not a fanatic, but i do enjoy seeing them. hell, i even admire the paint jobs on well-done lowriders. their stuff is second to none.

And there's the difference. Cobb FTMFL. Screw base maps if you have a local AWD dyno. Is my car tuned with a Tactrix cable? Heck yes! And I'll put it against any Cobb car with the same bolt on mods. It also takes me about 45 seconds to switch maps and there is no marrying, divorcing, and paying Trey Cobb alimony bullshat drama. A tune is only as good as the tuner. If you can use/rent a dyno facility, why mess with Cobb crap if you can make identical maps with a tactrix cable in a fraction of the time?
+1 for the ARC box being a ricer part on Subies and Evos. I've seen it lose power (with tuning to make the comparo valid) against stock airboxes on both cars. I've made over 400whp on the stock airbox and an OEM paper filter, so I guess it can't be that restrictive.

interesting... i'll have to see if there is anyone local worth a damn to play with that. the nice thing about accessports is that they resell for almost all of what you pay for them.

truth be told, when i went into my fit of rage and OMGI'MGONNASELLMYCAR, i took everything off. i've been on stock box for a while and i'm thinking of staying that way, selling off most of the rest of my shit, and using the extra money for home stuff *shrug*
damn, now i really want to play with that tactrix setup
//edit: that's pretty sweet. it's still not cheap, but for about 100 less i might lose launch control while gaining a custom tune. i dig. ////double edit: fucking shit, look like i have to pull my longer exhaust hangers out of retirement since the stupid tanabe sits ON the diff on one side, and against the undercarriage on the other side. fujitsubo ftw, i swear to god. i should never have sold that exhaust

Of course putting curtains in a car does not make it a luxury car, the Q45 IS a fucking luxury car.
If a single one of you homosexual retards honestly believe that steering wheel posted in the Sentra is the same wheel in the Q, then you need to take some of those cocks out of your ass.
When I mentioned the valet at Trump, it was to point that he's used to valeting way more expensive cars than the Q all day, and no, he didn't get to valet the Q, it was parked in front of the fountain for the show. He was just checking it out, and had a clue as to what the style is.
Simpson didn't kill Dale Earnhardt. His belts were improperly mounted, but they still did their job. His head was nearly torn from his body from the impact and lack of a Hans device. He died of "basal skull fracture" and I know people who were there at the track and among the first to see him. We're still the #1 safety brand. And in NHRA, even the Impact guys are wearing our new 7 point harnesses. If you're going to stop wearing the best brand in motorsports safety because your all jealousy over my Q, you're pathetic.
Glad to see you loosers had nothing better to do all weekend than keep up the posting in this thread!

We were just talking about tuning, slapnuts, and had perfectly hijacked your thread about something PERFORMANCE. Then you felt all left out and had to bring your curtain + pretzel knot + tassel + leopard pillow exec ride back to the forefront of the conversation. Sheesh.

Displaying a Q45 for show? Is that like the "Scared Straight" public service programs where they drag a bunch of "at risk" teenagers into jail and have inmates yell at them "If you smoke pot you'll be bitch fo life!!!"?

You're a fucking retard, seriously.
The seats are covered in leather, "some of the best in the business" as one magazine put it. The only vinyl is the sides and back of the seats. The wood is fake, but it looks pretty damn real, and one magazine called it real wood their first time around, then corrected it when they were told it wasn't real. The engine is all aluminum, and costs 9,100 to replace with new. The paint is exceptional, it still looks awesome nearly 10 years on. I never compared the car to a Maybach or Rolls, I just said Maybach's come with curtains.
The Q45 is a premium luxury car, that's how it's classified by publications such as Consumer Reports, who also give it a "best buy" rating and "recommended". Cars like Rolls would be classified as "ultra premium" which certainly no god damned Japanese luxury car could ever be (except the V12 powered Toyota Century, but that car probably has Corolla turn signals!!!!!).

no our bad, the 10 year old Q45 is still a premium luxury car. even with the 10 year old paint, and walmart throw pillow. even though the dashboard is the same thing (effectively) as a sentra we just aren't in the know. That's a VIP sentra dash.

Holy butt-hurt Batman! You are obviously insecure about your JDM-sweet VIP ride, or you wouldn't be this tenacious in defending it. Accept the criticism and move on.
The seats are covered in leather, "some of the best in the business" as one magazine put it.
I bet those seats make cleaning up sharts a snap!
The engine is all aluminum, and costs 9,100 to replace with new.
OK? What is the point of throwing out the cost of the cost of OEM replacement parts? I have chainsaw with an aluminum engine, and replaced a glove-box cover in my car that cost $40. I don't get the correlation? A molded piece of plastic shouldn't cost $40, so who cares what a replacement engine costs?
You should take some of your spare time you are obviously wasting here, and clean the carpet in the back of your car. It looks like you forgot to cleanup after one of your bukkake fests. Or is that part of the VIP image?

I think a replacement engine in my lowly 3 series is north of 10g's. That's not an argument in it's favor, IMHO. Expensive parts may be correlated with luxury makes but just because replacement parts are expensive doesn't mean it's a luxury brand or somehow makes the car incrementally more 'luxury'.
shit anyone price air-suspension work on a similar-generation 10 year old lincoln towncar? I've heard horror stories. Again expensive, but that doesn't a luxury car make it. How do we phrase it... Yes luxury cars have expensive replacement parts. But you can't look at something expensive and then declare it to be luxury based on the expense.
such as a chanNel watch. esp. in white. with diamonds. lots.

man all you f-ing haters are ghey
his car is dope and the tassles and pillow and curtains are all minor, and you wont even see it unless your in the damn car cause that shit is soo tinted out... so why hate? not like you actually have to go inside his fucking car retards...
i said it in the last post i will say it again
minus the tassel, pillow and magazine, Very dope ride, aside for the minor things mentioned but again THATS JUST MINOR...
im looking to get a big body sedan myself cause the sport compact profiling out here is getting ridicules... i dont have many mods and its going to stay that way but damn do i draw alot of attention from cops and my car is very lightly modded and very simple and clean
Im going to find myself a 2001 acura Rl... or a 2001 BMW 530i or my last option, the q45...
personly im just going to lower it, put some rims on it , and tint the sucker... but thats pretty much it... well unless i get teh 530i then i would love to have the m5 bumpers on there... or the 540 sport bumpers... and of course the newschool mesh rims (not the oldschool mesh style looking ones)
if this thread still has some life left in it im sure ppl are going to start flaming the idea of m5 bumpers on the 530 but so what, it looks cool so FU & GTFO!
