I just want to let you all know im turning 17 on thursday. I have to use my brotheres mercury tracer for a few days but over the weekend i am going to get my max. I've been observing this forum for a few motnhs now and want to thank you all for the extremely helpfull info. Anything you want to let me know before i get my max? Im so effin excited

 

what year? trim? color?

 

Drive it like you stole it!!!

 

or save the money and do steal it

 

im going for a 97. but if i cant find a good one for under 5 grand i will get a 96. I want black or dark green. 5spd obvs. First ima gonna put a tv and playstation in so i wont be so bored during the cold nights. Then i will slowly get cai, y-pipe, exhasut, all that goodness

 

if it is stock, the first thing you want to do it lower it. the maxima is a 4x4 stock. if i had the money i would get coil overs. i currently have kyb agx on maxspeeds. then if your gonna get a tv, get one that looks like it was stock. get a microvison 7" tv.

 

Are you going to be living in this car???

 

Why suspension before performance mods? where can i get the microvision? is any tv hard to install?

 

because suspension is performance mod that will make the car look MUCH MUCH better

definitely drop it first.

 

its a little bit faster than your bro's mercury tracer

 

he'll need a good suspension setup since he's in NY, those streets are Baaaaad, not fun to drive on.

lowered and bad streets, not a good combo

 

I was in a similar position (I'm turning 18 in a couple weeks), I was looking at this forum for a month or two before I found my max 3-4 months ago. What I wanted was a max, a 5sp 97-99, and I found it, and jumped on it. I got a good deal on it cause it had a crap load of miles on it (5.2k for 128k miles), but mechanically everything was perfect, had to replace stock clutch about 3 months after I started using it since it was the car I learned stick on. I've done a solid amount of mods so far, and hope to get rims soon, and then call it quits in putting $$ in my car, unless I decide to get an intake.
