Tatanko's Christmas Thread 2008

It's that time again kiddies I'm starting this thread early this year to give people more time to post up.

What is YOUR Maxima getting for Christmas this year? I expect a lot fewer "full tank of gas" replies because gas is so much cheaper this year


Mine's getting a good detailing, some leather boots, a nice weighted shift ****, a B&M short shifter, all kinds of LED stuff, and a trip to the body shop to get a mild makeover. It will be getting a nice set of projector headlights early, but they still count.

For the '96: A good detailing tomorrow (early Christmas present), maybe some red/clears, and lowering springs for the spring.

For the '03: Maybe a strut bar.

A new lower radiator support, and new F & R motor mounts.

For the record, the 'cheap weld-in fix' = FAIL!

getting a early present. Its a 10" kicker and 400w 4 channel amp. Hopefully a tune up and remote starter later on. But looks like I'm going to have to get a new computer so will have to wait a while to get the starter.
