Ground Control Coilovers with KYB AGX shocks. Fun setup.

Heck no! That's why i bought the car was for the liscense plate

Miles: It had 112,922, now has 115,000.

Ha, yes, the seat covers are OUT.

Future Mods: Right now as a broke 16 year old after buying a car, the mods will be slow for now. Planning on 18's as soon as i get the money. Its fast enough for me right now. Probably the first thing i'll do is get a Rear Sway bar to finish up the suspension part. Then maybe an ECU. Maybe further down the road i will do a katskin leather, but cloth is fine for now.

Thanks for all the comments, i'm glad people don't think i'm crazy for the drive. Btw, the plane tickets were 100$ a piece, c'mon, can you beat that?

 

BTW: Here are some of the mods.

Suspension
-Ground Control coilovers
-KYB agx adjustable struts (front and rear)
-Stillen camber plates
-Ebay front strut bar

Proformace
-Place Racing CAI
-Monster air filter
-Exedy stage 1 clutch
-Fidanza lightwieght flywheel
-Pace Setter catback
-Pace Setter short throw shifter
-Red Line tranny oil
-Mobil synthetic
-removed sound defining from hood and trunk

Brakes
-Porterfield street pads
-Brembo front and rear cross-drilles and slotted rotors

 

112k and how much did u pay???

 

It needs a y-pipe ...

 

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice buy!!!


Completely OT, but I have family in Vermillion, that is not a place you often here people say they are from.... that is pretty cool. lol

 

Edit: IT does have a Y-Pipe.

UT: You have family in Vermillion, that's cool. Yes very unusual to meet someone from here :P. I might even know them. It is a small town.

 

What kind of a y-pipe? I was going to make the comment but NmexMAX beat me to it. Edit your list of mods accordingly. What is a Monster air filter?

 

Oh, sorry the y-pipe wasn't posted in the performance modifications ....

 

Its a foam-like filter

 

very nice and clearn max, CONGRATS and welcome. its kinda too bad he modded most of it thou, cuz thats the fun part. i'm sure he didnt do everything thou, so enjoy!

 

You might, it is the Massmans and Bachhubers .... there might be some cousins or something around our age, but for the most all the people are pretty old. lol

 

Nice, Love the view. It looks like the front bumper was painted. over all nice looking car Congratss.

 

gangsta a$$ pix, the scenery was inspiring. makes me wanna jump in me max and ride out till i find some mountains. i dislike the scenery here in miami florida!!!!!!!! if only we had some mountains down here. damn!

but i like ur car...nice clean drop

 

Pics were nicely done nice car to welcome to the org

 

i love that lic plate..

 

A little bit of irony ...

 

fantastic pictures!
i was in vegas a couple of weeks ago (it was so dang hot there, sheesh).
looks like the trip was worth it.

 

There you are 1fstmax!

Its okay that most of the performance stuff was done already. I'm not much of a wrenchhead but can do most things. I suppose the expirience is worth it, but i couldn't turn down 3k in mods already on it. I will have plenty to do though.

Rmurdo: Its a warpspeed ypipe.

 

awesome scenic views man, and an interesting story.

 

Beautiful pics!!!!!

 

i would love to do somethign liek that with my maxima especially on the open highway with nobody around. you run into a lot of cops? sweet max by the way and what coilovers are on ther and what mods? and final question is for homw much $ ?

 

Thanks guys

 

At first, i was expecting a lot of open roads with no one around. Even at 3am the California interstates were packed.

I had a radar dector for the trip and really didn't run into very many. We mainly just kept up with traffic. People in California drive like 20+ over speed limit anyways lol.

Got the car for 6500. I got to know the guy pretty good and he is a great guy. He's helped me out a lot so far on learning about the car and the mods.

It has Ground Control Coilovers and KYB AGX shocks. There's a mods list on page two, i forgot to add ypipe though.

 

I will have some vids hosted up by tonight!

 

wow you have a wonderful car. All lowered and modded to start with? You are one lucky Max owner! The only thing I would change is the tailpipe. It is aftermarket, but a little too small in circumference IMO. Otherwise, you have a sick ride!

 

Sweet Ride! Good decision to go with the Max!

 

lets have an all 4th gen roadtrip

 

Hey Poowill nice pics. Great Maxima.
Sup to all. I have just recently registered. I have always loved Maximas. About six months ago I bought a 95 Maxima. Love the car needs body and engine work no problem. I just love the ground efx on the Maxima99SE. I would be most greatful if you can pass on details of the ground efx. It also looks like the front bumper is different. I do not know if its true or not. Let me guys.

By the way im in the Mobile Electronics buisness. I manage two retail stores at www.al-eds.com. If you have any question regarding any security, radio, speakers, etc. I can anwer just about any question. Been in the business for about ten years. So feel free to send me email or post any questions you have.

Cya guys

I drove from California to El Paso Texas once, only stopped for gas and made it there 10 hrs later. I agree, you get a really cool scenery as you drive thru Arizona. Glad the Maxima handled the drive w/o any incidents.

 

Yeah.... the trip should be a blast.... I did drive from Minneapolis, MN then through Iowa - South Dakota - Wyoming - Colorado - Utah - tip of Arizona - Nevada then finally California. The most memorable thing was Utah (I-70 between Denver and Salt Lake City)..... did 115mph w/ cruise control for 1.5 hours - no police!!!!!

And the tip of Arizona on I-15..... what a contrast.... the highway passed through rocky mountains.. green before (from Utah) and desert after...

Boy, it was like 7 years ago..... man, I am too old for this forum looking at your age below 20

 

MaximaPWR, i've been staring at the .gif for the past 10 minutes
that girl looks cute.

 

Yeah, the Drive in Utah was by far the best. But on the other hand, i was with my dad so i didn't get to cruise at 115 . But were you really able to set the cruise at 115? Because my cruise maxes out at 90 mph. Humm...

 

Yes I was.... not w/ my Max..... w/ my old '94 Diamante... that car was more comfortable and solid than max.... but no power despite more hp.

 

Here is a vid driving through Utah and then through denver. I had a better one through the mountains but it got washed out. Kind of a boring video but its cool to see the contrast between the bare mountains of utah then to get into colorado! Enjoy

Thanks to liquidx for hosting the video.

Yeah..... I remember I went through that...

Yeah, it's boring... you should've posted video when you floored your car! Then, it's not boring anymore I always like to hear engine sound.... even though it's V6 (more cyl. better sound IMHO).... as long as not 4-cyl, the sound should be good.... :y

 

Heh, yeah, you don't know how bad i wanted to gun it through there. But my dad was with and he was driving at the time.

One part part i wish i was driving was when we were comming back from denver and someone held up a sign next to us that said "how fast?" , (Response to liscense plate) lol, it was pretty good. I so wanted to drop it into third and show them what a VQ sounds like

I guess i do have a video of me getting on it. hummm...maybe i'll post that for kicks...anyone like to see that?

 

Just curious.....why did you drive 2k miles to get a gold maxima with okay mods?
I mean, don't get me wrong....it looks pretty good, but that is a really long way just to get a maxima with one of the most common colors.

 

THere were pretty much none that i liked around South Dakota. I don't think that the pebble beige is all that common, i could be wrong. But i like the color. As far as mods, most were already done the way i planned anyways, so being 16 modding a car up to the mods it already has on it would take a very long time and take a lot of money i would've of had right after buying a car. Plus, the trip was so worth it . The length of the drive didn't bother me. It was waiting to get off the plane to go see it for the first time that was the killer.

 

Your bringing that Maxima to the meet right?

 

i hear ya on that one....i'm 16 and have to pay $340/month on freaking insurance! i've had my car since sept. 04 and the biggest thing i've done is a drop (which isn't even on yet) I also had the anticipation factor like you....i was at school and my mom sent me a text message in class telling me she got my car...i had to sit through 4 hours of class while my new car was sitting at home needless to say, i hauled *** home and haven't been so happy in my entire life
in the end, the $340/month is completely worth it...
