is it worth modding a 98 GXE automatic with 133,000 miles on it? i already have done a few small things, but this summer ill have a ton of money to spend on it, but i dont want to if its going to only last like 50,000 more miles. i could spend the money as i was planning on doing untill i started to think about high miles, or save it for a new car in a few years. id like to do more mods.
question 2
what should i do next? (my present mods are listed in sig)

 

I'm pretty sure that your Max will last a while longer if you treat it well . Also if you really want to mod, go for it. It also depends on what you want: performance, exterior, interior...etc. If I were you, Y-pipe, shocks/struts and springs, and maybe lipkit.

 

ya im thinkin y pipe soon, but i dont have that much cash right now, BUT I WANT ONE. ill prolly get a used one off someone on the org

 

Also you can do some mods that won't cost you that much money at all, like the AE headlight mod, and red/clear taillights. (if you still have the stock ones)

 

I would at least take off the altezzas if you wont mod.

 

im plannin on getting gen 2 altezzas or red/clears soon (the altezzas came with the car)
i think im leanin towards the gen 2 led altezzas

 

how much were u planning on spending to mod it? got a price range?

 

def need a price range, but a Y-pipe and Suspension are def the next things to do in my opinion, but like i said, depends on how much you are willing to spend.

also PLEASE get rid of the altezzas go w/ red/clears for a cleaner look

 

You can save up for a brand spanken new car, that can crap out on you. Or you can treat your current maxima very well with usual maintenance and all and mod it. IMO I would say keep the maxima and make it a daily driving car that is realiable and also sporty.

 

ya it is reliable, i just got back from driving it in 6 inches of snow, IT DID GREAT! lol. i think ill get a y pipe and suspension soon. how much louder would a y pipe make my car?

 

i actually like the look of altezzas on a white car, but i dont like the gen 1's. the LED gen 2's are kick *** better.

 

turbo charger, no?

 

Mine is donig alright with a 139K miles

 

You almost cannot hear a differance with a y-pipe + stock cat back. When I first got my y-pipe all i heard was a wierd faint whistle noise like as if there was a exhaust leak, but after a while it went away, to confirm my friend who also just got a budget y, it makes the same noise on his brand new y-pipe. So I conclude this is a normal sound, which goes away. I guess it has to break in or something. But yeah you cant tell a differance in sounds really.
