cleaning up rear hatch wires

mwhit02 · 08-26-2013, 11:10 PM

At some point, I will remove that white caulking and have my paint shop re-spray the hatch area a uniform white color

I bet. It does help.

I've heard removing the spare isn't good for rear traction, the car is already light in the rear.

True but if you have the Stillen CBE it actually weights more than stock and all the added weight is added to the muffler area that is stationed right where the spare would be. That’s one of the perks of that CBE system.

I think Nissan (Nismo) would disagree with you on that point

I’m actually not. Per Stillen that is a true fact. It’s to help the *** of the car stay planted around turns or what not. If you have ever seen that CBE live you would know what I’m talking about.

This is why i went with Fast Intentions.. Their hand made CBE's are very light and sound amazing.

Faith in Internet restored. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks adding weight to "improve" handling is akin to going to a taller gear to help with traction.

I have been thinking about removing everything from my hatch and then covering the metal with sound proofing and then covering that with interior grade vinyl. That would cut the road noise but really open up the hatch area.
