#243 of 302 Hey, a familiar face! by stickking1 Apr 05, 2004 (3:13 pm)
Glad to see you here! (I'm StickKing1 on Autopia as well). Car is looking great, it's nice to have another beautiful Classic represented.   To answer Bob's question....you talking about the classics, right? Yep, they have a thin strip of plastic trim right at the bottom. Perhaps 2 inches wide.

Yeah, I totally debadged it last summer. The rims are the typical 5 lug, but the center cap fell off one and I couldn't find it, so I just took all the other ones off.
#245 of 302 CORSA, eat your heart out!! by rjs200240 Apr 17, 2004 (9:49 am)
Man, I thought the CORSA was the ultimate exhaust, but no way! I got the phattest exhaust tip ever now on the 200SX!     Ha ha ha!! The exhaust broke on the Nissan several weeks back, as you may recall... It was incredibly loud. This exhaust from Pacesetter was the cheapest cat-back I could find. It's actually a nice piece with mandrel-bending and all the hardware included. It's funny, it seemed so quiet since the exhaust was so loud before. I haven't really heard it under heavy gas (like when trying to pass commuter buses, cement mixers, or other 3 or 4-banger rolling coffins).   I'm having sort of a dilema in that the yellow stripe around the outside of the tip can be removed, and the inner yellow could probably be turned black from exhaust if I don't clean it. But then, I kind of think I should go all out and attach this sticker that came with it to the passenger side of the tip (that's my Palm for size reference):     I'm not sure which to do... I guess if I put the sticker on, maybe I should pick up a roll of puffy chrome pinstriping at the local AdvanceAuto and roll it down all the seams in the body... But then I'd have to listen to music loud with the windows down and stuff... I rarely use the radio when driving. I also have a K&N sticker, maybe I should put that on the other side of the exhaust tip just to even the stickers out?   I don't know why the exhaust tip sticks out like an inch past the bumper. It's made specifically for this car, not some big-mouthed universal muffler. I think that it might actually look attractive on a black 200SX, or maybe if they made a yellow one (they didn't to my knowledge, but it wouldn't be a stretch from the jelly-bean green they painted this car).
#246 of 302 CORSA comes back! by rjs200240 Apr 17, 2004 (10:10 am)
Oh yeah, my Aurora ain't jealous no more! It was upset about not being the sweetest thing on the block now that the Nissan upped the game, but no more! I fixed that Aurora right up so it's the #1 stunner again!

No No No. What are you thinking! You need to get the industrial sewer pipe size expander and EXPAAAND the Auroras exhaust tip outlets to at least six inches! Then comes the door edge and fender chrome to put the 200SX in its place.

Actually to really top it off. You MUST get a 6 foot drag strip wing installed. And last ,but not least for the added Horsepower you have to put on a "Type R" sticker.

"And last ,but not least for the added Horsepower you have to put on a "Type R" sticker."   That was priceless! LOL
#250 of 302 too much by sda Apr 23, 2004 (6:24 pm)
RJS, what a hoot. Your Aurora is beautiful. I really like the color, and you've managed to keep it looking better than new! Does my heart good! Did you remove the Oldsmobile script on your trunk?
#251 of 302 sda by rjs200240 Apr 24, 2004 (6:19 am)
Thanks for the compliments! Yeah, I removed the Oldsmobile badge a long time ago. It wasn't that I don't want people to know it's an Olds, it's that the badge looked so out of place. It was in lettering that was too small compared to the rest of the badging, and the font they use looks out of place with the "AURORA 4.0" lettering. And it was off to the side, and not even centered on the side. To me it just looked so tacked-on like a dealership badge.
#252 of 302 Olds tag gone... by stickking1 Apr 24, 2004 (6:42 am)
I guess I never noticed it....hmmm, time to check out the pics again   How did the removal process go? What'd you use to take it off and clean up the gunk?
