Thread: Domestic Noob from New Orleans

From Nola.

89 Si hatch
93 EG hatch
92 EG hatch w/B18c1 (integra GSR engine..)
04 Maxima elite
08 GP GXP..

As you can see I coming fresh off the import team and jumped ship. Picked up my 08 GXP for a steal for my 7 month old daughter.
Im used to smaller engines as you can see so I'll probably as alot of domestic/noob questions..

Names Orren, Im still getting used to the tq lol...
Its completely stock, still have my warranty too so im limited until that ends..

any advice is welcome.

The upload part on the insert picture link wouldnt load and the URL part had the picture too small so i had to attach it.

Tq is... Different.. Lol. My maxima was the first thing with any sort of tq @ 255 but I believe I have around 320 now, BIG difference.

What's this I hear about the trans temp? And cooler? Links, prices?
I figure it's from the fact that the gears are so dam long..?

I love carbon fiber, I've seen like two hoods, a spoiler.. Which is kinda huge.. (No good) and a sick set of Pontiac badges. Also seen the "Grand Prix LS4" badge that I would like to pick up.

Not sure what my warranty limits me to. i bought the car for the warranty so im probably going to leave her stock for a while. I'm sure I could get a catback exhaust but I want to go a little more free flowing than that if you know what I mean lol..I live in Louisiana so all they do for brake tags is check your lights, horn, and tint..

89 si blew when I was 17. Had it for 18 days with a built d16z6. Bought it like that. I was a NOOB! And 17, first car. Didn't check the oil.. Pop!

Second was just a plain old eg hatch. Autotragic, d series. Carbon fiber. Tint. Etc.. I was still learning..

Traded that for a bone stock standard one. The 8 valve engine lol.. Full neuspeed suspension, Jdm foglights. Custom piping with a stock GSR engine and tranny. Swapped myself, rebuilt the tranny in my backyard myself, first time too lol. Took a few months to find the parts I needed and to save up but I got it done, had a 75 wetshot installed but never got a chance to spray. Blew the compression racing a mustang one night and had to sell it. Few other minor mods but nothing worth rambling on about. Gauges, bolt ons Etc.. Was supposed to be low 13's on spray but never got that far like prev stated..

But this isn't a Honda forum lol, so now thats out of the way, I have noticed my trans fluid in the mid 220's while running a camaro SS last night.
I was on his back bumper by 120 then I let off. Started around 70ish.

I'll buy the cooler and keep it on stand by for when my warranty expires, along with different mufflers/exhaust.
I want my exhaust to be on the loud side, any suggestions?

Thanks for the Honda question btw, that last bit about not being a Honda forum was a (uninteded) low blow to you so I'm sorry about that.

That black boosted gxp on here is clean as hell too! Wish I had a different color.. The silver is nice

Where are you from...? New Orleans area or Baton Rouge..? Your sn, avi, and honey badger mention have me curious..
