hey whats good org i got my maxima story / restore project to tell you all about


Birth:
I bought her in september of 06. she had only 40,xxx on her and she was sitting pretty on 18's. i loved that she was 5spd and that it was a hard to find model also the SE-L aanyway i used it as a dailydriver for a bit till i paid off my loan and what not






Mods:

In december of 07 i started to mod the car. here is my mod list
-lambo doors(BIG NO NO)

-new deck speakers tweaters subs and custom trunk
-short shifter
-stage 3 act clutch kit
-hids for hi beams low beams and fogs
-r34 headlights 1 peice
-injen cold air intake
i no theres more i just cant remember




Death:
In december of 08 i lost my full time job of 3yrs and i left my gf and walked out on my fam that ****ed me over beyond belief and i gave up with highschool just didnt care for much only my car.long story short i had to take a detour one night when it was raining hard as ****s , so i took this road and pretty much hydrolocked the max. i was a mile away from home so i pushed her home and next morning tried to clean out all the water and what not but she wouldnt start.she sat for about 4-5 months




Rise:
I finally found job 5months later and i found a spare motor for the car so i saved up money for the max to be towed to my buddys dealership and for them to put in the motor . but since it sat thru the winter the body started to get all ****ed up and brakes rusted out and what not


Fall:
in march of 09 my tranny blew up , the forks were bad and it just blew up in the middle of a bust road. it wasnt too bad since i had money saved up but still was a headache that took the car out of comission for about 2months



Rise:

2 months later i had her back on the rooad and i just drove her to and from work and i didnt do anything with the car except that until i realized that the car needed to be treated how it was when i first bought it which was like it was my kid


Rebirth:

So when i nknew i was good with money and my job was steady i decided to treat my baby good again. i decided to start working on my restoration of my max.I knew i had alot of work todo bc i had todo the whole inside and outside of the car , i needed to redo the whole car i wanted to make the car completely how i want it to be . i started this project in march of 2010 and let me tell you all this this car has treated me well and has gotten me lots of pussyyyyy so this car deserves this restoration,

the act stage 3 clutch kit

these are the pictures of the big ****in mistake that i did to this car the god damn lambo doors

i think they looked sexy when they were first put in but after a yr with lambo doors they were the biggest waste of money

my injen cold air intake which caused my car to hydrolock

the lovely stillen catback exhaust

damn bro thats crazy nice pics, crazy story and DAMN that injen intake

lambo doors but you wont fix hood struts so you dont need a hood prop to hold it up? lol looks fresh though

The car still has a long way to go but it'll get there I'm sure. At least it's back and that's all that matters.

sick max dude! its a shame you had to go through all that bullchet. its all in the past now.

lol i know idk y i didnt get the shocks for the hood weird now that i think of it bc i still havent gotten them that will be my new modd lol

ya lifes good now so she gunna be top priority, told my gf that my max is #1 and that she is #2 lol she cursed me out idc though lol

ill post pictures of when is hydrolocked and what not alil later

I really, really, really, wish we had a Member's Ride Forum for threads like this......

took hood off and tried cleaning out all the water i could , this was a sad day in my life

her being towed

old block pulled out

it really helps when your friends with the owner of the dealership, free towing and able to use the shop whenever i need to plus getting everything i need for the car for good prices thanks to all those discounts

i dont have any good pictures of when i put in the other block but the car looked the same nothing different

this is when the damn tranny went out on me

holy ****...


nice ride man.

aww come on! this is within the realm... have a heart man ... didnt you read the story?

only thing i dislike about your max are the tails. i hope everything keeps going on the up and up for you

Cant believe all that ****e happened, glad to see that you decided to ger her back on the road, she's looking great. (except the tails, imo)

You too man. Girls love the maxi especially the comfy rear seats lol

its better than those..."whats an cold air intake??" threads lol
