My new SE!!!

OK, so I'm finally back on the road. It was still too expensive to fix the transmission in the GXE , but that's OK because now I have a '94 SE to drive .
HTe car has a few blemishes including a scratch on the passenger doors and a little of rust on the side skirt by the rear passenger right door. I can't wait until my finances get back up so I can begin unleashing some serioue tuning hell on it!!
Watch out Maxima Commmunity, Seyath is BACK!!!

Shawn, you rock . (It's a swan BTW...) and the background is my driveway.
I love my new SE. It rides a lot firmer than and a lot rougher than my old GXE. Also, I got the car over 3,500 rpm on the way home and it switched onto POWER mode automatically. HOLY CRAP! It went straight for the redline (mind you, my foot is only about half-way trough the accelerator) and the car shifts into second at 45mph!
Def. a little faster than my VG . I fell in love with the color immediately and it was a bargain at the $1500 that I got it for with a new engine and a new tranny. The antenna is broken so that is between the first things that I'm going to fix. Anyone knows if I can pick it up at the local AutoZone??

ahhhh, another convert to the joys of VE power. It gets even better with a 5-speed, but you are slowly working your way up.

Good find. Too bad about the dent and stuff, but appers to be a nice deal considering new engine and tranny.

What happened to the fog lights?

The previous owner removed the fog lights for some reason. The connection is still there and perfectly functional tough, so I will be adding them pretty soon.
There's 3 maxima's in my family now!
1994 Maxima SE (mine!)
1994 Maxima GXE (taking a very long nap...)
1999 Maxima SE (Mommy's car... that's Ms. Seyath to you!)

Looks nice man, I too have that color. I recommend getting some SE fogs on there, mine didnt have any when i got it either.

Congrats on the upgrade!

Thanks for the comments guys. Right now I'm mainly concentrating on fixing the dent on the doors and the rust on the side of the frame. Then it's stereo and fog lights time!!
