Maxima Down=CTS-V UP!!!
 

Well, I was going my dads garage today to install my new CustomEnterprise.Com Front strut bar that arrived today, get the one for
2000-03 Max's they fit 3rd Gens to! As I start up the car I get a CEL on, & car is running rough at idle, I figuring it's a injector, 128,000K 94 GXE, well it was going in Monday Morning for New CV Axle assembly,drivers side, I will have the CEL diagnosed while it's in the shop, & post the outcome! Good News since my daily driver is down, I get to drive my 05 Cadillac CTS-V w/400HP & six speed tranny, I only have 6,400 miles on my Baby.......Hope it does not snow....(LOL)

I hear you bro. When my main whip is down and out, I am out pimpin it in my E55 AMG. I even have one of those bumper stickers for the Maxima - "My other car is a Benz."

It is good to have a spare ride that's a blast to drive when the daily driver is down for repairs!!!!

I was kidding. Pics of your CTS-V?

haha, thought it was kind of odd that you had $90,000 to throw around with cars, and drove a 3rd gen around :D

Besides the fact your max in your sig is fricken sweet.

Yeah man, post some pics of the Caddy!

i wish i had a spare vehicle tranny went out with nothing to drive looking for an overhaul kit now

If I knew how to post on this forum I would post pics!!!

Go to imageshack.com and have them host the pics for you. Watch out, that CTS-V has been kicken' some seriose butt in the SPEED GT class this year.

I like the CTS-V, those are the quick Caddies. I saw a used one at the dealership and thought about going for a test drive, but decided against it for fear of getting 86ed from the place... :lol: It is hard for me to believe that they actually put a manual tranny in a Cadillac.

What are you guys jealous or something?

I have a 3rd gen and it is my back up car. I have only driven it about 50 miles since the last meet in Seattle in June. I drive a 2006 Tundra double cab TRD 4x4. I wish they made those with a manual tranny.

It is one awesome ride, Tremec T56-6 speed tranny,Getrag Limited Slip Differential, Brembo 14" four-wheel disk brakes, 400HP/395Lb-Ft of Torque, Corvette LS-6 Motor, Top Speed 163 MPH, Wire Mesh Grill, Nav, Etc....It's my Garage Queen for now.....The next Gen V is suppost to have 515HP....I feel a trade comming on in the future, that is why I keep mine mint, never even seen rain...that is why I need to hurry up & fix the Max.....before it rains or snows & my baby says "What the !$@#, are ya doing to me." I have bonded with both the Max & the Bad *** Caddy!!!

I used to have a spare car.
I will hopefully relegate the 3rd to toy status in the near future and pick up an I30 or Blazer for DD duty.

Rich Bastards.....:sprint2:

My main car now is an 84 S10 Blazer with a 400HP V8 swapped in.

yeah man when the maximer is down i drive around in my ferrari enzo, its like 9000hp and gets and goes. i was on the freeway the other day racing one of those top fuel dragsters, ya we were going like 325mph.... then i dropped it into 2nd and blew him away


why lie to impress people.

even more, why lie to impress people you are never going to meet?

Not a lie dude, I have been workin my butt off for the last 19Yrs, 41 Yrs old, 60 Hr weeks, 16 Hr days.....& have a nice home, Caddy CTS-V, & a mint 3rd Gen Max, soon a 2007 Harley Fat Boy.......No reason to Lie, I just work Hard!

its just that it is hard for most people to believe something they can't see with their eyes. Congrats on having a nice car though, having a nice car after so many years of work must feel very rewarding (no ill will, i mean it). Must be a blast to drive, and a shame to see it garaged.

Thanks, hard work does trully pay off, I learned this from a young age, + I Love my Toys with Motors, in the Cadillac Forums, I am RICADDYMAN.....some people over there actually put Magnusen Superchargers on Their V-s Totally Sick......

Just go to www.imageshack.com, they will host your pics, and you could put the non-believers on here to shame.. I mean, how much easier could it get? No rocket science involved. You must have a digital camera if you own a CTS-V, right? :cool:

I just have my Cell phone Camera, leave (post) me a E-Mail address & I will sent ya a pic, then you can post it, I suck wicked bad at computer stuff!!!

P.S. I will also sent ya a pic of my Max too!

Thanks.. You got PM.

Just E-Mailed you the Pics of V & Max, please post, on Forum, I suck at this computer stuff so Bad!

Just got a call from my mechanic, the drivers new drivers side CV axle assembly is installed then he diagnosed the cel on the dash, he tracked it down to the #5 fuel injector, I knew I was running on 5 Cylinders Friday night! (LOL) exhaust pipe sounded like Put-Put-Put......He had to order a injector, so I looks like I will be driving the V for at least a few more days, we got about an inch of wet snow this morning, I just got done washing her down by hand, weather is dry for the rest of the week, Yipeeee!!!

Sorry it took me awhile, was at work.. :vqman:

Lookin' good ;)

Pretty clean :thumbsup:

Btw, it's really not hard to post images on forums.. Just go to that link I posted and if you can register to a forum, you could definatly upload pics ;)

Also, I would replace all the injectors while your mechanic is in there since they are known to go bad at high mileage and you don't want wanna pay for labor again.

Thanks for posting the pics of my vehicles for me, I will seek some lessons on posting pics from a computer geek friend of mine, (lol), I asked my mechanic about replacing all of the injectors while he was in there, he told me that the labor in taking off the upper/lower manifold in really minimal for him, so why pay for injectors ya don't need.....car should be back on the road soon as the injector comes to his shop.....the 3rd Gen Max is so clean, I was so lucky to find it, absolutely no rust whatsoever, I added A Pioneer Supertuner/w cd player& new Pioneer Speakers, + added Sirius Satelite Radio so I can Listen To Howard Stern, The Caddy has XM Satelite Radio already programed into it, however there is a computer "Brain", chip out now that converts the XM unit to Sirius that just plugs in, I gotta get one I Love Howard!!!

Nice. But why doesn't that look like a CTS-V to me? Forgive me if I'm wrong. You seem to have the grill but seem to be missing the CTS-V wheels (looks like the stock non-V wheels) And if you have swapped, I don't think the non-V wheels would fit over the huge V BBK brakes. Here is a picture of V that I see.

:sprint: to Jeffy...

Pics under the hood, perhaps???

He's also missing the CTS-V badge on the front fender.

Max is tagged up front, Caddy has factory plates...hah, jeez... I feel like I'm being way too over cynical

Guess it wasn't a CTS-V after all :(

You Guys have way too much time on your hands.....The CTS-V is Raven Black, I De-badged it so nobody would know what it has under the hood,comes in handy when I smoke Yuppies in their Beamers & Benzs...(sleeper V) the rims are 18 inch Polished Option, looks way better than the usual....ones + easier to clean, & yes I don't have the front plate on....so call the Police!!! Whippeee Dooo!!!

I want penny pics...:squint:

Under hood pics, please! :)

Pic of caliper please :)
