In Lovin memory of 1LXC672

R.I.P. Lil buddy ill se ya at the yard sometime..



Well i was on my way to do the CAP (its a program to fix the max to state smog regulations, so im on the freeway doing 110 on I-805 north passing up various tuned hondas, and eclipses and as i finished the hill the clocling noises came back clicking in sync with RPM's i slowed down then i had to push it a lil to get up the hill before Balboa ave. and all i heard was Boom,ERrrrrrr, CLICK CLICK, SHING CHING, WURRRRRR, so as i told my self AWWWWH $HIT shifted to neutral and pulled over to the side of the road, got out, lifted the hood, and saw smoke coming out of the air filter and saw smoke in the clear hoses(looks like they were good for sometin) opened the oil cap-smoke, tried to pull out the dip stick-nope, pulled harder-lil bit, pulled even more-there it goes, waited for the tow truck to take it to the shop-the shop guy told me that the timing belt snapped and the ol max threw a rod so i had to let her go........i also thought to my self... a great time to do the turbo setup but then i said to my self naaaaaah. he told me that it was worth more than the car to get it fixed and he said the tranny was questionable so after charging me 75 dollars to tell me that i stripped that **** down tool all that i could, carbon fiber gas door, cluster, stereo, shift ****, shift boot everything that i customized threw i tin the bmw and dipped, so now im max less, oh bu *** aint over im gonna get a noder one and clone that ****. so with that mark my words, ILL BE BACK!!!

 

DAMMMMMM man you have to be kidding, that makes me feel great about my timming belt now!!!!! (kidding) i feel bad for you man, all that work and $ we do to our old *** cars then pop. its gone. y dont you keep the one you have drop a new motor in it???????????????????????? unless ur going to get a 3rd gen, which if i was you i would prob do

 

I just bought an 84 yesterday it ran fine all day started every time no prob......
this morning I went to start it and it would only crank and wouldn't start.
I hate to ask for help...., but ANY IDEAS?!?!?!?!?

 

get a haynes book, check battry ,starter all battry connections, post 15 times in other thresads so you can make your own topic about it

 

Sorry, to hear man. 110 was pretty fast, when I read boom I was anticipating it. Good luck to ya.

 

should have probably kept it at 109mph (just kidding).My condolences man (seriously). Your max had some of the best mods out there. Can't wait to see how your next one comes out.

 

dern dude that sucks...Oh and if I was you then I would get a 3rd gen to..I like them more then I like mine...

 

Sorry to hear about the car man. Doing 110mph definately didn't help the situation for sure. Either way it's time for a 4th gen.

Hey man,

were you going to downtown san diego, or headed to I-5, to head to a place

that will get to past the smoke test.


actually all models of the 3rd gen is about the same in price,

unless you find a low mileage 3rd gen

and the later model of the 4gen

are: 98,99

i wish you the best,

 

Check further down in the posts for one that says: Starting issues

It may give you a few tips until you have posted 15 times and are able to start your own thread.

 

That is right...new guys need 15 posts to start a new thread.....I know....!!!!

 

well i was thinking about getting a 3rd gen for like 900 bucks then i saw a 97 for like 600 bucks but you kno what i think that ill just keep it in the 2nd gen range still wanna tackle that turbo setup for cheap so ill be back plus i like the 2nd gen body style!

 

cool man, y dont you drop a motor in urs??? i dont understand did you sell it or did they take ??? like is it just simply gone?

 

I wouldn't want to buy any car for under $1k. That's just asking for trouble.

well that sucks dude. if you want a 3rd gen ill sell you mine. haha i hope you get another maxima you can enjoy. 110 is crazy, youll know better next time the thing isnt pulling hard.

 

naaah its gone for good they sold it gor me but i got all of the good stuff(everything that i modded) before i let it go.

 

Wow that sucks. I thought I feel bad since mine is in the shop for weeks upon weeks when I am working on it. I guess its better to get it fix than have it explode or a wheel fall off. Hope you get another one they are the best cars around.

 

It was good that you smoked that Hondas'

 

Not to burst bubbles....but flying by traffic at 110mph that happens to have honda's don't count as smoking. Especially when you pull over with no engine power, and your engine is the one that is doing the smoking.

It's like me smoking a semi-truck on the freeway....er wait....I think I have a picture of that....

Here we go. Note Vin Diesel F&F pose. It's off da hewk fo schizzle my bizzle. That sucka in the truck got pwned.

Sorry to hear about it man. It may be time to upgrade to a newer gen with a timing chain, I hate belts, too unreliable.

 

u can do the same to a 3rd gen. as well. and still make it look good. just my .02.

 

I got it running!!!!!

 

It just needed a tune up

 

now I found out that I need tranny mounts

 

If anyone has thier old tranny mounts from a 1st gen automatic please let me pay you for them.

 

Does it count towards my 15 posts if I am quoting another one of my posts???

 

Come join us! Get a 3rd gen. There's way more available for potential mods.

 

^ yeah, damn it!!! what he said. we have more suspension goodies too compared to that of a 4th gen.

 

Welcome to the joys of really old car ownership. Fun, ain't it? You know you've gone over the high side when you start screaming at the car as if it will understand you and answer...

 

Yes, but it is taking up server space at the same time. Not good for worthless posts.

 

i might venture to the 3rd gen side but before i do that i gotta remember to drive a stick then ill be ready..

 

well then get to it man.

btw: whats that in ur sig???

 

i think its a projector...

and im stalking you grnmaxdmon, lol

 

yep its a projector and the beam patterm it has a german top from a bmw and an asian bottom from an infiniti j30t

 

thats funny i thought i was stalkin' you

wait till i get to Indiana. i might just take a drive over to OH and take ur car

 

but im gonna wait until u get ur EDM parts put on. lol.

 

haha youll never find my car this winter. its gonna be hidden, muuhuuhahaha

 

HAHA, thats what u think. i always find what i want. so be afriad, be very afraid. HA, take that! lol.

 

hm i test drove a 3rd gen with 180k, then test drove my 2nd gen with 140k, and ended up buying the 2nd gen based on the fact that it was more fun to drive. the g3 had all kinds of noises, etc...
