Pics of two of the triplets one year later


This is a pic a year or so ago of my three Max's. The Emerald Green one and the Aztec Red one I had owned a couple of months.

Here are two after a year or so and a few mods. The emerald green now has a custom grille, stock fogs with the help of Cliff Clavin and a totally remove the Bose system for Alpine/Pioneer. 174K and runs great. Took the wheels and tires from the red car.
Aztec red also has a custom grille which I like better. New fogs are a stock shape but smaller. Warpspeed y-pipe and a dual tipped Ractiv muffler from Internetautomar top off the performance mods. Also added a cup holder, Bose removal and installed a Panasonic CD/MP3 player. Rims and tires from Tires.com The black car is not pictured because I haven't changed anything about it but have repaired lots of things.

Rear view of the muffler and the magnetic CHIEFS logo. Go Chiefs!

I always liked the Aztec Red and Black colors on these cars. There are a few other colors that look good but the Red and black were always my favorites.

Cars look nice and clean!

I was pissed when I first saw the pic, then I was relieved to learn that Chiefs emblem is magnetic. I would recommend moving it around once in a while to keep a mark from forming. Maybe just change it from side to side and be sure to wash and wax the area where it was.

It also looks like you need to do some antenna work on both of them. I really hate power antennas. I have them on both my Maxima and my Infiniti and I am just waiting to break one off on a tree or something.

Only had the magnets on for 2 days as we went to the game last Sunday. I'm a fan but not so big that I would put those on my car full time. You've got a good eye--the antenna on the green one is just hanging on by a thread. I can't find the one I really want to put on it.

The green antenna is screwed as I said. The Red antenna is an electric turned manual (unplugged) and I don't like it all the way up. I can live with that one

what is your exhaust set up other than the y-pipe and muffler on the red car? Do you have a resonator before the muffler? What size is the pipe? The reason I ask is because I really like they way that muffler looks, but how does it sound? I am looking for a replacement for my bro speed muffler on my fourth gen, and I want something more quiet.

Those are clean. I may try to find a 3rd gen as my winter beater. Are parts hard to find to maintain the VE or VG ? I miss my black VG!

There is no resonator, the pipe is stock (2 1/2?) It is not quiet Thanks TripleG for the sound link

Zog-Parts are pretty easy to find except the correct axles (inside joke)
