Intake, WSP y, carsound/random tech cat (not sure which), Borla turbo muffler, VB mod, performance TC ecu and a crap-load of other mods. Though, I don't know if I can do all that since I need money for school AND I'm rebuilding a Porsche! I'll at least do the y, intake and borla.
#9
definitly warpspeed ss y-pipe, highflow cat, b-pipe to a dtm muffler. definitly new z-rated tires. havent decided what im gonna do with the interior, but something. maybe headlight conversion. depending on money situations either the stillen kit or possibly the one that theyre trying to get the group deal on for.

Been working on ...
Pepping up the max. It had been sitting for 6+ months; been driving the new urban attack vehicle.
The CAI is installed. The 17" Enkei CDR9s are on with Kumho 215/45/R17s. The whole trunk is raam matted with 1 50 sq ft roll. Optima yellow top battery's in. *thinking* about a y-pipe (no racing here; it's a VG auto).
Got my brushed aluminum dash kit today . BMW lights are still waiting their turn. It'd be nice if Brandon90gxe would divulge some of his secrets on the demon eyes Replcement sunroof to be installed; window regulators to be installed; DEH7400MP waiting to be installed. Putting back the 15" Kicker Freeair & Pioneer EQ6500...(all pioneer speakers; 6x9 speakers in rear and 6.5 component set in front; all mtx amps 2 thunder 4122 and 1 8302).
Already cleaned throttle body.
*pant*
All this = wife is demanding a gift.

Tokico struts
ST springs
ST F&R sways
Stillen front crossed drilled rotors
Metal master pads
A/F gauge
Fuel pressure gauge
Walbro 255 high pressure fuel pump
SARD Fuel regulator
Harlem shift light
This stuff is all siting around or in the mail. I plan to bore the TB and intake manifold this summer. Then maybe subframes, high flow cat, b-pipe, then im basically maxed out on bolt-ons. Prolly JWT ecu or research some engine internals to handle some boost.

LOL, some of you are funny,
its a 89' the car is 13 year old, i had for 3 years, did enough mods and tune to run 15's on it. time to let go of this old junk. Maxima was a good car, but now its just too old and everything is outdated.

buying a honduhhhh and making it fast is almost pointless. Everything is already there, that makes it a very effortless and a unrewarding quest. Now if you have a maxima and made it a 12 or 13 second car, that the rewards are sooooo much more. So in conclusion screw your head back one and get yourself a 94 se 5 speed and or a 4th gen. Just stay away from honduhhhhh, they make your iq drop a good 100 points.

in "general" when you compare options for boosting our cars with most of todays cars(Civics, 96-2k Maxs, etc.) using one of the many $3-4000 kits out there....there isn't much difference in price. only real difference I see is that you get more piece of mind when you turbo a Civic as opposed to a 3rd gen Maxima, since countless others have ALREADY done it compared to the 4-5 Max owners who have or are in the process...but then again not all cars respond the same to FI so there really is no 100% piece of mind....BLAH!
okay, I'm rambling, time for bed......whatever anyone here decides to do on their Max or whatever, I hope it actally gets done!!!
