What's your reaction when the guard slams your car's trunk so hard?

ok lang, kasi usually ayaw masara nung trunk ng kotse namin pag mahina lang. hahaha. kaya no choice sila kundi lakasan. may technique kasi don sa akin. eh hindi ko naman sila pwede na turuan pa.

....my car slams the guard in the chin.

My project sentra has a carbon fiber trunk lid. It is so light that the springs used to offset the weight of the metal trunk lid flips it up quickly (I plan to place some dampers to slow down the "lift").

Parang nakakita na ako ng carbon fiber trunk lid. Sa isang Civic naman naka-install. I think it's cool and sporty. Gusto ko rin sana nun kaso wala sa budget...

Sana pag natapos na yung Project Sentra mo e i-post mo yung picts.

Currently it's pretty much finished. I don't plan to install a turbo so any future increases in power would be due to either more aggressive tuning or mods like underdrive pulley kits or racing cam/cam-gears but those will affect street drivability so I am not keen to those upgrades.

But if I plan to do any race track duty with it, I would need to upgrade it's brakes to a substantially bigger rotor to help deal with the heat. Five short laps around Subic's race circuit (short) ended with burned pads and damaged the rubber o-ring seals on my calipers.

Externally, the mods are limited to the carbon hood/trunk, lowering and aftermarket wheels.

Internally, H&R lowering springs (track spec), adjustable rate Koni shocks, water-alcohol injection kit, digital APEXi S-AFC w/ dyno tuning, adjusted ignition timing (done on the dyno), K&N filter, freeflow headers, exhaust piping and muffler system.

Yup. Normally silip lang, but with suv's hatches and auv's with super dark tints, they open it up a little bit.

Di ko muna bubuksan then pag sumenyas na buksan, sasabihan ko na wag e slam bitawan lang at mag sasara na yun...kasi medyo may bigat na ang trunk lid ko dahil sa speaker and fiberglass for the sound setup.
