Modifying a 97 GLE will it hurt???
#1
I'm starting to get into racing and modifying engines and new stuff like that. The thing i want to know is that will modifying the engine hurt the engine or shorten the life span of the maxima? For example, installing a new high performance intake, exaust, turbo or supercharge,etc. Where can i learn more about the parts? What is the best thing to start with???

I say the best and first things to get are a front strut tower brace (FSTB) and a rear sway bar (RSB).
For under $200, you can dramatically improve your Max's handling.
The FSTB will tighten up your steering so your steering will feel a lot more solid.
The RSB will reduce body roll. When you make that long sweeping turn on the highway at 60 mph and you feel like you're going to fly out your window, that will disappear with the RSB.
And the best way to learn about these things is to keep on reading posts on this board!![Smilie](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

FSTB- tightens steering not as in the actual steering wheel itself. It tightens it as in having the car lean less in turns. It does not allow the body of the car to flex and lean while turning. stiffens the car during turns which causes it to "tighten"
