Well, its been a very short run with all of you. I got my 1998 Max SE back in April of last year. If I would've been interested in cars before hand, I would've opted for the 5speed. I was dumb, I neutral dropped her about 10 times and instantly I noticed the slightest different in how smooth the shifts were from then on. I modded her, put all the parts on myself. SO much blood, sweat, and tears(currently holding them back) went into this car. Maxi is my baby and I will never forget her. She succumbed to the stupidity and immaturity of just another teenager. I rear-ended somebody last week(only at 30mph) but enough to smash the bumper in and fold the hood. Fixed her for $200 to running, not pretty condition. Then shortly after, about three days ago, she wouldn't go into 3rd gear. Thats when I decided I just can't make it work for a car I paid $2700 for. I'm selling her as-is to my buddy for $1000. I took off some parts and I'm selling them in my other thread. Buy some stuff from a fellow .org member!

I bought a 98 Honda civic 5 speed which will help me save up for school, and a 5.5 gen 6speed . I knew I'd be back before I left. Goodbye to you all, and good luck! VQ POWER!


R.I.P Maxi Baby
2010-2011

 

Got any pics of the carnage?

 

looked clean too besides 4X4 height :P hope to see you back soon mang!

 

Don't know you but Good Luck!

 

wait, you need to save for school so you bought 2 cars??? 404, fail to believe in bs story....

 

i think he meant that he is saving money for school and another 5.5 gen

 

ok so i tried to go to the other thread but it was a dead link..makes it alot easier to buy something from you if i know what thread to look on

 

i wanna see pics

 

lol noo you read it wrong. I bought myself the civic so I can save money. With the money saved, I can use it towards school and buying myself a new car(5.5gen)

and pics will be up soon.

 

its was late, honda fail, maxima win

 

now that you have a civic there are two things you need
1- numerus decals from aftermarket mod companies (especialy if you dont have the mods)
2- a massive spoiler (extra points if its made of plywood)

good luck getting a 5th gen soon

 

 

Buying a used honda is like using a used condom.....why even both? Hondas are garbage they are cheap to fix only because theres so many around however why buy something that is gonna need work? you shoulda threw a tranny in her for 300 for the part and put it in yourself for free?

 

quitters, thats all they do when faced with a little fixin. just gotta learn that maxy is worth it, splondas are not.

 

lol if I could keep my maxima, I really would. But I really dont wanna be dumping money on a new tranny, hood, ac compressor, a charge for the ac compressor, AND on top of all that still drive autotragic. I LOVE my maxima but its time to get a car with double the MPG's and something that will get me less speeding tickets

 

smart thinking, but honda?

for me it was, once i went nissan, i can never go back lol

hope to see a new 5.5 gen on here soon!

 

thanks buddy and honestly, its with much thought but I feel its for the best! I'm not trying to speed, or race, or waste tons on gas money in this economy (although I love a nice VQ kick ) I'm just trying to beat on an old civic, learn manual, and have fun! I'm doing whats best for me and my future; both financially and for the fun of driving manual duhhh

 

word up, i went through 4 trannies

this thread is clear proof that our school system sucks

 

THe problem with the max is that u become so attached to them, They are such a personable car.

either way man, sorrry to see u go. I know u will be back. They always come back lol

 

You know, I usually wouldn't say anything but I sense heavy Nissan nut-swinging with this post. I just don't seem it's necessary when you own a 90's Maxima that have slews of problems.

What's wrong with buying a honda to save $$$ for school? He didn't mention of modding it to replicate the civics from the Fast & The Furious. Why flame? And if I recall, un-modified Honda's are pretty reliable cars among it's competition. We forget, there are people outside of the tuner world who buy Civics for just that. Reliability and affordability.

 

You'll be back....

 

I agree w/ Mo.

Hondas are a good car man. Jus have to get an alarm installed ASAP and u good.

BUT they still a 4cyl.

once u get a taste of that VQ tho it never really goes away lol

 

that 4 banger is waayy too slow once you get used to a vq....

 

man you bought a civic? ew, gl!

take care!

 

Now that I've owned a Maxima I can't imagine driving anything but a Maxima, much less a Civic.

Anyway, good luck and hope to see you back with your 5.5 gen when you get it.

 

My i30 has over 200k on it, I've done all labor needed to keep this car running. I know it's worth it every time I driver her. the VQ30DE was rated in the top ten best engines for over 12 years consecutively. I will keep this car running until it won't go any further and then I'll drop a VQ35 to replace it when it finally does quit.

 

Sorry about your loss. I'm new here to the .ORG. This place has been great and so helpful through out the years. I love my Maxima (wifes now), I've had it for bout 6 years now. Hope to see you back here.

 

i flame beacuse being mean to others is the best part of my day. kinda lame, if you think about it.

 

I understand, i rarely drive my max since i macked that bear... I drive 4 cyl 22re in my 4x4 haha. I don't think my max will make over 300k miles like my truck though.

 

I'm brand new as well, but good luck in the future!

 

i agree i love my vq i had to drive .y wife autotragic cavalier the other day and felt physically sick
