I didnt have a Capacitor For The Longest Time. and i was running almost 1000 Watts RMS. Not to mention Heated Seats Were On Alot, Blower, Bose on Full Blast. got to the point the Alternator only put out 13.3V at IDLE and everytime i stopped the car it would start to kill the battery.. hence Dead battery Number 2. well, thats all fixed now. im getting Older 300 watts from a Kicker Amp is Fine Enough for me.

 

Its been long enough time....resurrected

 

Well if its resurrected...

I cut my carpet to put a piece of mdf under it near the drivers seat so I could bolt an amp to that. I also put a bolt into the floor pan in that area for a ground. The amp quit working and I ripped it out. Still have the nasty carpet right there and the bolt. I will probably go to a junkyard and get another carpet at some point to hide it all.

Future mods (which I already have some of the parts for) I think I won't regret:

Energy Suspension bushings and mounts
Exedy Stage 2 Clutch and new OEM flywheel
Tokico Illuminas and S-Techs
WS Y Pipe
Vortech Supercharger
Walboro 255 and Emanage

 

i regret not doing a BBK... stock is good but I want that on a dime stopping ability... screw good pads and rotors. 2 pot min caliper and bigger rotors...

 

u will regret boost, it will keep biting you in your ***. I mean look at me, 2 years and 17k later im trying for more power.

 

yeah ....dont do it....you hate it! .......dont do the BBK either stopping is over rated.

 

cutting my springs because i couldnt wait til my ksports came in.

^^^you cut your shift ****? i, for some odd reason, want to make my auto shifter longer. i wonder if it is possible?...

 

What kind of intake would you guys suggest for my 97 gxe with cattman full exhaust ecu spec stage 2+ clutch light flywheel and soon to be running a 100 shot dry nos kit. Any suggestion would be appreciated. 97maximachief@gmail.com

 

teh noob for 2 reasons.

I regret installing a short shifter while I had my crossmember out to poly the mounts. I managed to f-up something in the transmission so now it sticks going in/out of 5th. Oh well, something fun to do when I have the trans out for a clutch job in the future. Yippee!

 

I regret putting a OBX under drive pulley. When I put it on my car it did not run right cracked and popped under acceleration removed put it back to
stock.

I also regret the STS to it's not worth the work, time, or money.

 

I regret putting lambo doors on my max what a ****in mistake that was and it was a ***** to put it back tostock everything else I'm happy with

 

I regret getting a ram air intake, the noise was awesome but the loss in power made me constantly feel like the car is lacking. And soon I converted back to stock.

 

only mod I regret so far is the damn shifter!@

 

major mod problem that cost me 5dollars.

modded interior lights!
changed all lights from the dome to the doors to the gauges to LED's

worked for 5mins after installation. after a drive. BLOWN fuse. FML much anybody?

 

Anything bought from walmart instead of air freshener LOL, Reverse indiglo gauges that shine this annoying bluish green instead of clean blue, diamond plate floormats (look good but scuff way too easy), changing my 12's 3x instead of upgrading interior speakers once, replacing sarona front bumper with cheaper one and it not fitting.

 

i regret my ****in wheels. cd wheels. yeah what the **** is that right? they suck.... will replace that ****. >=( i wasted money on 3 audiobahn subs. wasted money on a kenwood amp, wasted money on my stupid tein coilovers that wont lower the back low enough delete the gap. ..... thats it.

 

i do not regret my bbk....

 

stillen catback, ebay ones work just well for half the price, and the ebay ones look better

 

I regret SEAFOAM...I poured that **** in without the engine on, not alot but enough to make me notice I lost some power.

I also let it soak for about 40 min while i was working on my brakes. Cars low end is practically GONE.

 

daam. i jus got my max like 2 months ago. n i wanta do some mods. u guys r scarin me haha. ik ull prob get mad. i wanta get the red/clear tailights, clear corner bumper lights, and rims. plus new inside car speakers. anything i gotta worry about?

 

indiglow gauges are the worst...spend $30 for nuthin needles keep stick and as i was trying to fix them i messed up my needles

 

New exhaust pipe. $150.

 

buying this 00vi is being a *****, vqphantom f*cked me with a few rather importnt missing screws and a coil pack. i hope that kid dies. jk. no but for real. not jk.

 

ressurrection!

 

aluminum dash kit. I like it but should of had a professional do it.

 

i also regret my cold air intake bc that **** caused my engine to hydro lock, lol but i still have it on the car lol i like the way it sounds

 

Injen makes a "hydro-shield" for CAIs. I can attest to it's ability, I put it on my hand and put my hand under a sink faucet, and my hand came out completely dry.


I regret buying LEDs for my interior....wtf was I thinking?

 

Thanks guys, I'm currently a dumb teenager with a really nice maxima...and you've saved me from myself...Only mods I've done

HIDs
Yellow Fogs
Aftermarket head unit, old bosey didnt work anymore

And you've stopped me from putting tints and subs into a $2000 car that has great base to begin with...lol. Thank you for your wisdom.

 

+1 on that!

 

Well, the only mods I have so far would be the drop in K&N air filter I put in about 7 years ago, factory red/clear tails and clear front turns. The only reason I regret buying the tails is because I spent $300 getting them off ebay about 7 years ago. They look freaking sweet with a pearl white paint job though. Even though It's pretty much stock, this baby still hauls ***. Even with 205k miles.

00vi VERY SOON!

P.S. I guess you could also count the fog lamps, gold emblems/lettering and a spoiler. I bought a trunk and bumper with the gold lettering and fog lights already in from the junk yard. Best $70 I ever spent on this car. Also a few free parts like a leather shift ****, gold antenna, etc. Junk yards are great.

 

I think the only one I regret is my HFC. Paid 150 for it and could have got a testpipe for less and got more HP. Thats what happens when your a noob.

 

but the code!

 

What code? As long as the 02 sensor is plugged in your good.

 

mods i regret? nothing really except selling mods.

 

DTM cracked the lenses reheating, awapping the leather back seat out of a 99 gle, there's a gap at the top, painting the interior of my corner lights black, didn't hate the look but could have used ascetone to strip the chrome finish off, and free hand cutting the tweeter wholes into the door panel 3 perfect one a lil oblong.
but thanks definitely gonna nix that led interior idea and i love my STS 2 years and no problems

 

any mods that I have regretted were taken off the car, I have not modded my Max in over 4 years

 

Not getting rims/wheels as the first mod ... fair amount of mods and no tires yet just rims ... waiting for chk
