In all seriousness, I'm planning on getting two new tires, both crank position sensors (hopefully that will get rid of my P1320 code) and my lower radiator support has two rust holes in it and that needs to get replaced. If I have any money left over from getting that done, I want to get new poly motor mounts.

A clutch and flywheel will need to be done soon, but that might have to wait later in the year or next tax season. It's not slipping... yet.

Well, assuming I have a max by then...I'm probably gonna get new tires and a few little appearance mods...clear corners, small stuff like that. Mainly gonna spend money on changing fluids fresh...coolant, tranny fluid, etc...depending on what the car needs

i kinda thought you'd do the opposite for your 98 (skirts and valences with no front lip) not sure if it would look as nice on a sterling mist car though.

I plan on having my 5th gen clutch and fidanza flywheel installed along with the '99 steering rack and new tie rod ends. If money permits I'll also put the big brake kit on also along with new rotors and calipers for the rear, braided lines and fluid change out.
Working on getting the pieces together right now for the big brake but I need to get some brackets for the '04 maxima install, and have not come across any..if someone has a set coming available let me know!!

I currently have a set of Cobra brackets but they just missed fitting my wheels and I didn't want to waste money on new wheels right now, so if you wanna trade to the 13" rotor set up maybe we can make a deal.

Great Scott! Sounds like you haven't seen the movie Back to the Future, eh? If not, I highly recommend it.
