Tatanko's Christmas Thread 2007
Since I've done a Christmas thread the last two years, it's time for this one! What is your Maxima getting for Christmas this year?
Mine is somewhat disappointing. I'll be glad when it's done, but no "mods" per se:
-Wiper blades
-Fuel filter (Z32)
-Spark plugs
-Brake pads and rotors
-One new rear coil pack
-New Bose front speaker (replace blown one)
-Air filter
-Timing chain tensioner
-Port matched intake manifolds
-EGR pipe install
Boooorring
What is yours getting?

-new hood struts
-new o2 sensor
-new cabin filter
-new screw for one of the coils
it got lost in the depths of the intake manifold (outside the engine!)
-possibly clean up of the throttle body and area
-possibly new thermostat
-possibly new knock sensor
-possibly upgrade bulbs
Other than a small rust patch behind a rear well, and a cracked windshield, car should be 100% after these repairs

-A nut for the b-pipe hanger (speaking of does anyone know what size that is? I think its 12mm)
-Fog lightbulb(s)
-Gas
-I think it'll need a new shift ****.
I think I'm done with the maxima, I'm saving up for something else, something more track worthy.
