Ok folks, just need some advice on stuff...

Hey peeps,

Looking for a decent online store. Performance parts.
CAI, exhaust....

Also could I get some advice as to what and where I can get these parts?

Tranny cooler.
Spark plug wires. (MSD?)
Plugs. (Platinum of course.)
Exhaust. I'll probably get the Warpspeed Y pipe. What about the rest of it? Remus for the muffler is just a bit much for my wallet. Borla?

Struts/Springs.
Bushings for steering.
Touch up paint. (Dealer the best place? Esp for that Ivory/Antique white.)

I "think" that's about it.. heh

Thanks for any and all advice!!!

Keep on rollin,
Rungi

for a few performance items check out www.custommaxima.com they have a cai, sts, high flow cat, and some other items. if you are wanting performance on the plugs and wires i would nology and get the silverstone plugs and the hotwires spark plug wires. the plugs won't last as long as the platinum but if you want performance those are the way to go. silver is the best electrical conductor of all metals. www.nology.com. The other stuff you'll just have to search the net for. You might try www.nopi.com for shocks and stuff. they have quite a few suspension items for our cars there. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Dude..whenever you go to a mechanic you should carry a huge a$$ jar of vasaline because those rapings must leave you sore.

Thanks for the links. Had checked out Custom Maxima some time ago but wasn't ready to order anything.
What I have coming in so far.
Place Racing CAI from Custom Maxima.
Silverstone plugs from Nology.
Vitek plug wires and a new O2 sensor from Nopi.
Maxima.org stickers!!
Going to hold off on the exhaust stuff for a bit.
Let my funds refill.

Going with a blue color scheme underhood.
Should look nice. Pics when I get them in.

Thanks again!
Rungi
