if the tv tunes in digital channels, you are fine.

chances are the tuner is not digital compatible.
try tuning and see if channel 2.1 and 2.2 show up as valid or if it gives you the option to tune digital/dtv if you can only tune to channels like 2,5,7 then it is still an analog tuner.

my HUGE issue
so im on the belt pkwy driving to school today and my steering wheel gets REALLY stiff. by the grace of god i get off the pkwy and pull over. my rack and pinion leaks but i never chaged it. i check the reservoir and its full. so im guessing the rack stalled or something. the wheel turns but it very stiff. could it be that the rack needs to b replaced?
my second issue: as i was driving back home today my car starts to overheat. i changed the water pump and thermostat last yr. i know this might be unlikely but i cant help but wonder if the overheating has anything to do with my steering wheel getting stiff because both problems happend this afternoon. any ideas? thanks in advanced.

also, check the idler pulley, it may be part of the problem.

tv tuner in your car? no, don't do it. most states its illegal to watch tv while driving, and if you have one, it makes you more likely to get busted for it.
if it were in the back seat, i wouldn't bother mentioning , but you said in-dash (and I wasn't awake enough to think of the implications of that).
I cannot think of a single good reason (aside from a crappy riced-out show car), to have a tv in your dash, anywho.

lol it was just a randon thought since we have to change the house TV's over if its not DTV ready so i thought about the cars but yeah i know all about the whole not being legal in some states and even if i had to put a digital converter in a car that would be lame anyways but i and thinking about getting a flip out for show...
(and it looks good, too.)

my only thing against having a permanently-visible screen is theft incentive. if you have a flipout, and it's a nice discreet one, nobody'll be the wiser. yea, the permascreens are nicer and, in a world with no crime, i'd much rather have one. but sometimes i guess you gotta make a sacrifice or two for this stuff.

i know this is a very common question but i cant search i am just wondering about some quick recommendations. which mufflers seem to be popular and sound good with the maxima. i would like a tuned sound like a nice beamer so not gay rice canish but not growly like the flowmaster i have on now. yes i am aware you cant just buy x muffler and bam super tuned sounded car. my exhaust is stock manifolds with warpspeed y pipe and some old catback with that muffler replaced with a flowmaster clone. again nice tone and very tight sounding. ive heard greddy and many others, what do you prefer?

if you are buying a brand new one, then it is DTV compatible. for the past year or so they were not allowed to sell non-DTV units in the US unless they were specifically marked as such and were built before a specific date.

one more question... what should i look for to know its digital? What does TV system: PAL/NTSC mean? should ATSC be there instead to know if its digital and if it is then is there anything u can use to change NTSC to ATSC?

lol whats this theft you speak of? I highly doubt anybody will try to break into my car if they really care about themself if u know what i mean but yeah with this world we live in u cant even trust ur own friends but like u said we just gotta make a sacrifce and this is one im willing to take...thankx for the advice too.
o and here's the answer to your other question:
The ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) documents a digital television format that will replace the analog NTSC television system[1] on June 12, 2009 in the United States

I drive a 91 SE 5sp and i want to make my clutch or tranny less chincy, i have raced a few cars in my time and i have never felt like my tranny was made of chewing gum. it concerns me if anyone else has had this problem can anyone let me know what you guys did to fix it also if they're is a place to go that has more information about how to overhaul this particular engine i only have 73 thousand on the car to begin with.
Building for Show and Go

if it's soft, I would recommend checking/bleeding/changing the clutch fluid.
nice to have you hear, dan.
as to removing the bumper covers,
if you find out, lemme know, I gotta take my front one off, and repaint it (literally, there is no more paint on it...)

as for your tranny issue. i never felt like mine was bubble gum, and i know a crappy tranny, my mustangs stock T-5, that feels clunky. i would say up grade to a VLSD tranny and you should be fine. but i dont know if it shifts any diffrent
