My HID's.... I actually have the ballasts and igniters still in under the hood not hooked up. I went back to stock and although not as bright, I have use of my high beams again and have a beam pattern

 

mods I regret doing: putting any blue/"Hyperwhite" bulbs to replace oem ones.

 

i regret dremeling a huge triangular hole into the side of my airbox.

 

i reget not using all the money i spent on mods to buy a newer car when i had the chance. whenever i eventually get another car, the only things im doing is having my stereo installed, and tinting the windows. enough of this bs..

oh.. and my biggest regret, listening to people on here when i was younger that didnt know what they were talking about.. now i spend money un-doing the damages their advice caused.

 

adding a spoiler...my trunk release on my multifuntion no long works the same because of the additional weight , can only use my keys...hehe

 

I regret my stage II VB mod. shifts a little too hard.

love my Illuminas.

 

way too much $$$ on tunes... nah, nevermind, just hate my Fuzion HRi's. roll over too much when cornering fast and making abrupt steering changes

 

HP Tokico's over Illumina's. BIG DIFFERENCE!!!! I got the HP's on the 4th gen but my 5th gen had the illumina series. Wow I screwed up! It's worth the extra $100.00 to get the Illumina any day. Needless to say I installed the HP suspension and took it out a week later to put in the illumina's. I have to say I kind of regret my paint job too.... a lot lately. That's about it.

 

No regrets other than cheap aluminum pedals, off now. All other mods worth the price of admisssion (a maybe on the Silverstars).

 

the suspension mods that made me cocky and say "hey, I bet i can take this turn at 70....while sleeping *passes out* ....*wakes up* ....R.I.P maxipad"

 

mods i regret doing: pacesetter cat-back is ok, but the tip is sticking out a little too much so im gonna cut it and replace it with someting OEM looking tip

 

Resurrected...but I'll let it ride out for a while.

 

The fart can I have my max and Doing that Brighter clearance light mod.

 

I would say turboing because it makes me want moar and moar boost

 

EBAY red/clears, Budget unres B pipe, cefiros b/c I cant ever go back to original head lights and cutting the stock shifter.

 

Mine was 00vi cause my injectors didnt work so i had to buy new ones to get the car running!!

 

s-techs.. crappiest handling ever.. but it sure looks nice

 

I regret the shaved rear maxima lettering, I also could not get the maxima to fade out and you could still see the lettering , so I just put the lettering back on, what the Hell I like people to know I drive a Maxima!! Wish I had not done the clock mod either, changed it to blue, and now the clock messes up and won't stay the right time half the time, it is always off, very frustrating!!

 

another thing i regret are my UNFLUSHED wheels : (

 

my fart can, altezzas, and just basically being cheap when i first got the max, now i learn that if you show your car love, you will receive the same in return

 

I agree with the stillen y pipe being a wast. I should have got a warpspeed. looking back over the last 7 years, I'd say when looking for mods, look for ones that are of little cost, will give you noticeable performance, and doesn't require too much modifying. I guess that's subject to interpretation. Bottom line, it's a maxima. it's a great car, but it's still a maxima....

 

I regret putting a fart can on, stupis MA and its laws of no altered exhausts.

I also regret putting on the super style spoiler(its off now)

 

clear bumper lights, my amber corners will be back on soon enough.

I just think they break up the bumper too much for my taste, and after seeing some modded maximas with the stock amber bumper lights they look amazing, just my opinion, but I've always been a sucker for the OEM look.

 

regret the ziex 512s they follow the grooves in concrete so bad, and the wishy-washy sidewalls suck... beyond that I am happy. as for the spoiler, nissan made heavier trunk springs for spoiler equipped trunklids. you should see that baby fly with those springs and no spoiler!

 

blue corner bulbs and turn sig. never again!!

 

I regretted doing urethane control arm bushings. They were a major PITA and they ended up creaking all the time.

STS. I kept missing 3rd gear WAY too often with it. Put back the stock shifter and I cut 2" from the top. Sure the throw is still longer than with the STS, but I havent missed a gear since... plus I like not having to lean forward to shift into 5th gear anymore... since STSs on the Maximas rake the shifter forward.

 

We don't hate you. You just need to read around ALOT more before posting stuff like this. I wouldn't go to honda-tech and post like i had hondas figured out because i don't.

 

the # one mod i regret is covering my car with salt in the winter and years later watching holes develope underneath and also dissolving the fasteners within its grasp

 

Honestly, all of them. Sure while I was modding the car it was fun and rewarding but now that I have a new car and am trying to sell the car, I'm finding myself asking why i did this. I lost so much money in trying to sell the mods and only got pennies out of them. As far as the one mod that was probably the biggest waste of time... the cone filter with maf adapter. Performance was terible and gas millage plumeted for some reason.

 

Engine Grounding Kit...What was it suppose to do again???

 

I reget putting in the Weapon R intake. I didn't see any difference and I feel that I've lost low end torque. Also, I regret putting in my stupid remote starter/alarm. I don't know if the wires were crossed or not, but not I can't start my car without turning the key (lock and unlock) in my driver side key hole. If I just unlock the car using the remote and try to start the car I can't. It's getting to be a pain in the A$&.

 

i never had a chance to thank all u guys, this def. saved me tons of $$$ , maxi. is still running great after all these yrs., and its always a pleasure driving this 5speed especially after driving my single 6speed toyota for few hrs.,

So hats off to you helpful members and its things like this that keep a car community great!


ps- Q45 TB rocks, def. improved throttle response

 

I regret not doing more research on wheels before I bought them. Wrong offset and really heavy. I could have spend the same money for some lighter wheels with the correct offset and saved some gas money in the process. Other than that, I would have went 1 10" sub instead of 2 12"s <-- It was fun in highschool, but now I have the bass turned down.

Best mods: coilovers and the eclipse radio with ipod adapter.

 

Im with you on that one.

 

Replacing stock grille with billet grille and brighter corner lights.
ROCKART where are you man.....this is your time.

 

Lol buying rims. and getting extremely small tires not really thinking about it. now my wheel gap (even though im dropped 1.7") looks like it's worse than stock! Also painting my interior Orange was a dumb idea. that was before i color matched it to the white. Looks good now :]

 

You have to post a pic now....

 

haha memories.. when i had my old 95 maxima, bought a cheap muffler from ebay, put it on.... sound so ****ty... and waste of $$$...
with my recent 97 maxima, i nightshade my clear corner, didn't turn out what i expected it to be, forgot to screw 1 part of the lens, fell off when i was driving. now i got 3 pcs to do what? lol

 

...resurrected...again? lolz
