You snap the clips off the air filter box(the black box thingy) there are like four clips I believe 2 on both sides then you just lift it up, remove old filter, and put in new.

dont worry, your not scaring the maxima.... the only way to scare a maxima is to either 1. not do any maintence or 2. let me near it.

Just tinker with it, luckily with these cars a small ammount of reasoning will get you a long way. pretty dang simple and well laid out.

Your friends are terrorizing Issaquah. I just put them on the ground.

Vastly superior meaning impossible to drive anywhere because lack of fuel? Dim gauge lights? Seat so far back you can't reach the pedals?

Wait, I got it, because you have a faster spoiler than me. Gotcha.

(for other people, the friends are my VTC's when they make noise. Also I keep my seat all the way back, while dave just reclines his seat alot )
