what could go wrong

i got a 98maxGLE

i was just wondering what could go wrong in the next 100,000 miles..
I drive normally..and planing to do some mod..(headers,exhaust..etc...)

just curious about it..cuase i have to fix it with my own money..nd paying for uni nd rent..it will be hard..

Anything can go wrong...Just cause "your Dad" owned it doesn't mean it was maintained properly. Does he have the Maint. records? If not I'd perform the 60K service for sure.

Just to chime in, headers aren't really worth it, they give virtually no gains (in the neighborhood of 3-5 chp so I've read). That money would be better spent in a y-pipe or other mods.

Once again, so far as I've read (no personal experience yet, sadly), 10-15 whp.

Here's a good place to read up on them: http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?MaximaYpipes

CV axles, boots, suspension parts, knock sensor, O2s

It all depends on the individual car in question, just have it tuned up and be decently prepared. I'll go ahead and be the 1st to say this:

GET A SHOP MANUAL (FSM) or CHILTON whatever, these will be your buddies.
