im so excited!! dude i just got home from friends house. he helped me install my new progress rear sway bar! im so stoked! its been a while since ive done anything to my car. mostly cuz a little accident i got in that forced me to use money for repairs just to keep it running. its running strong again and i hope ill be able to get it back into top form with new performance parts

mods so far (in order of installation):
- 17" eagle alloys
- tein h-tech's
- kyb gr2's
- stillen hi-flow intake
- apexi ws2 muffler
- 235/45R17 kumho ecsta spt's
- progress rsb

i know i havent done much, i quite frankly wasnt planning on doing anything to my car in the beginning. my uncle gave it to me 4 yrs ago as a high school graduation present. it came with the 17" rims and some generic tires. had falken ziex's for a while and that was my only mod until the driving bug bit me a couple years ago. i went out and did a bit of research, and since at the time i worked at mcdonalds i was only able to afford springs and struts. i went the a subtle drop from the tein h-techs and the relatively stiff kyb gr2s.

not long after i had made the mistake of teaching my girl friend how to drive in my car... and thats how the accident happened. we went straight thru a wall! sigh needless to say i was very sad for my maxima. biggest regret of my life thus far. anyways so my car was in the shop for about a week. they replaced the windshield and searched for other possible problems. the bumper and lights and everything was still intact... only a bunch of scratches and dents but overall the car still looked good for having been rammed thru a brick wall. at first the car seemed fine. but over the course of the year, many problems came up and i think i put in about $3k worth of repairs. now i know that doesnt sound liek a lot, but for a poor college student who can only work part time.. thats A LOT.

well $3k and a year later, my car is in pretty good running shape again. and since then ive added a stillen intake, apexi ws2 muffler, went thru a few sets of dunlop direzza's (really good tires but i decided to go with kumho ecsta spt's this time around), and now this progress rsb. i previously was planning on saving up for a down on a new 09 altima... but since my maxima seems to be running strong again i want to stick with it for a bit longer. besides im really attached to it still hahaha.

basically im planning on a warpspeed or budget y-pipe next. any thoughts? suggestions? comments? feel free to reply or pm me! i would more than appreciate some advice and guidance from my fellow maxima enthusiasts

 

.. surprised how the maxima is still good, after some repair. Good to hear everything is okay now. good luck modding..

 

sometimes a Maxima is hard to part with and mods are fun good luck

 

Hopefully you are still with the same chick...

But honestly, what is the point of this thread?

 

.......i hope you he takes care of the car.

 

pictars?

 

That's one crazy story. Glad you're keeping the car alive. Good luck!
