Just bought another Maxima

Hey everybody. Long time no see. I haven't posted here in a really long time because I went through one of those "I hate my car" stages. Well, I think that's over with and I'm finally getting my love for the Maxima back. I recently bought Cheocwa's VE 5-spd. So far I love it. It's so different from my VE auto. Though I'm still getting the hang of driving stick, I've already developed an appreciation for the viscous LSD . Anyway, I'm in the process of swapping parts over from the white Max to the new one. I should have pictures by the end of the week. It's good to be back on the org.

Really? He told me that the suspension upgrades were left almost completely intact (With the exception of the Blehmco tie bar). His suspension is one of the reasons I bought it, that and the fact that he took such good care of the car in general. Anyway, he took out the Warpspeed exhaust and Sparco Seats (which are now in his Z). I'm pretty sure the rest was left on the car.

You still hang around here Jeffy? I thought you sold your Max awhile back. And I've been thinking about your BBK lately. Thirteen inch Cobra rotors sound Mmm Mmm good. But I was thinking about getting a set of FD RX-7 wheels for the track. Those probably won't clear, huh?

I would love to find one now...LS1+6spd would have to go in it .

haha, it's cool. I have your wheels and feather duster. If you want you can come by and pick them up or you can wait till I have the courage to drive the new car all the way to Santa Monica (your parking garage still scares me after all these years btw).
