Thats it for now. More mods will becoming after graduation and birthday.

I own a 96 SE. Currently I admit I'm a real ricer here is my current list of mods:

I am a senior in High, my list of mods are at the bottom of my sig. I paid for the car and all mods myself.....incase any of you are wondering.

 

I'm not in high school anymore, I am a senior in college, but I am curious. How are you kids paying for all this stuff?

When I was in high school, I was a computer whiz and did some outside consulting for friends of the family sort of thing. I used that money to beef out my computer and buy a laptop. My car was a 1990 Max GXE that I bought with 110k miles on it for $8250. Mom paid about half of that and paid for insurance. Back then I was more interested in modding computers than cars, but it turns out that modding cars is a MUCH more expensive hobby! Some of you guys have very long lists of mods, so I was just curious.

 

i work as a network technician making VERY good money even for an adult... (mcse, A+, Network+ and CCNA cert.)

 

that's what i'm wondering...

 

You work like after school? Weekends?

 

afterschool and saturdays...

 

I heard E sells well in school

 

yea... theyve got a point there. i started saving up for my car during my sophmore year in high school and didnt get the car til freshman year of college. how do you guys have all those mods? birthday money?

 

Tell me about it ... I'm working as an engineer and I'm still paying off my car loan (among other things) ... there must be a secret society (High School Skull & Bones?) that finances these high school Max drivers! It's hush hush ... but yeah, I'd like to know what a high school kid can make in a summer and how they can buy a car ... do tell.

 

I made $3.5k over the summer working 8AM-5PM Monday-Friday. I was a paper pusher for a Sentara hospital. The summer before that I made just over $5k working at 2 places - a detailer and a body shop. My friend (also a high schooler) makes $8k working less hours per summer, and he's just a waiter. Again I don't pay for insurance (thank God), I only paid $4k for the car , and the rest went to mods and other expenses.
-Cyrus

 

Wow, I didn't know you could make that much in high school. I managed to make between 7 - 10k each summer when I was a co-op.

Only 4k? How many miles did you have?

 

We have to work hard to keep up appearances with all you older (no offense) guys. If you keep your mind on your car every hour that you're working, you'll make it through. Avg for summer is 1500-5000. Just depends what you do. I can't count how many times I've said "I wish I had more money for the car" If you haven't noticed, I'm venting all my anger. All the career people out there can do cool mods that I can't. It upsets me Anyway... peace.

 

I'm a senior graduating this year from Leland High School (San Jose, CA). I drive a 89 celica right now, but next week or so i'm picking up my 96 Maxima SE =D

 

55k. I bought it from my parents.
-Cyrus

 

pocketrocket: what field of engineering are you in? Wouldn't happen to be a Mech would you?

 

I love your parents, they wanna sell me a car too? Low miles, for about 1/3rd the blue book value?

J/K ... you're lucky!

 

I was going to buy an Acura Legend, but when they said they'd give me this for $4k (I was going to spend all $8k on the Legend) I jumped on it. And I'm so happy I have a Maxima instead of a Legend. The Maxima community alone is a good enough reason for me to buy one.
-Cyrus

 

Electrical & I love my job.

How many people can sayt hey've driven a RHD Nissan Stagea with a VQ25DET as part of work? I CAN

 

I'm a senior. Had my car since I was a junior. Paid for the car and insurance myself. Only thing done to my car is tints (mostly because my parents think my car is too fast as it is and won't allow any performance mods.

 

Parents rock! My dad doesn't approve of my Maxima - he thinks it's more of a luxury car but he's never been to the US so he thinks a Civic is more of what I need.

Lemme see:
Civic w/ a 1.6L or a Maxima w/ a VQ30DE?

I've graduated from college, my dad will grow to love me again

 

exactly like me man, I'm a junior, and have my max, but all I have are tints and clear corners...no performance mods allowed for me either, one, because they say it's a waste of money, and two, they won't allow it because i already have one speeding ticket

 

Geez...you lucky high schoolers. When I was in high school, I had to ride a bike...lol. Later on my brother got a car, then I rode with him. I got my first car when I was 19 or 20.

 

Why dont you do performance mods without them. You could easily do intake, ypipe, catback yourself.

 

I got my 95 GXE when I was senior is HS...in 1995. (Thank you very much mom & dad )

Now I'm just glad I have a good car that's toally paid for and the insurance is dirt cheap.

I got my degree in Mech Engineering last year and I'm working as a project manager. All that and I coudlnt afford a new Max right now, that's for sure.

 

Two reasons I can't do the performance mods without them
1. I don't have access to all of money and therefore can't get it from them unless I tell them what it is for.
2. My dad sometimes drives my car and would notice that above 3000 rpms the car magically sounds drastically better. I'd also have to get the parts sent to my house.

When I bring my car to college in 2 years I plan on doing a lot.

 

Lol, i'm in high school now and my ride is a bus pass, or a phat set of Kobe's! That's right, my shoes get the chicks

 

I think it would be kind of hard without them knowing. I hid my cat-back from my parents for all of 30 minutes. The noise will give it away, just a little. Anyways I'm a senior(not after next week) and I paid for my 95 GLE. I have alot of mods and am dirt poor because of it. Don't get started unless you can fund it.

 

Junior in Highschool, didnt pay for the car, its paid for already, insurance=parents, I just drive it. Mods, intake=free, clears=free, fstb=worked for it, I could do a lot more, but my dad says no, and I dont have the money to do them. I will begin my freelance webdesign more in the summer as Im getting better(as some of you know).

 

hey thatz how i got my maxima, 99 maxima clear corners, 17 rims, **** tires, 20% tints altizza,leather, wood dash, custom grill, turn signal adjustment, front lip, two 650 watt mtx subs, with a 1000 watt amp, umm pounch tube, umm 520 amp for interior with pioneer speakers, and umm ooo yea colored in nissan burger, and painted brakes and bumm silly stuff, ohh yea and best of all 6 90watt strobe light system with the offical police siren and yiell buzzer, hee hee
thatz about it oo yea a stillen intake, thatz all, new mobs soon, skyline body kit oo yeaaa babe cant wait

 

I'm a junior in HS, I drove a mazda mx-6 for my sophomore and most of my junior year until my dad got me my 99 silver max gle about a month ago for an "early graduation present." I have so far, a custom CAI, high flow cat, Computer diagnostic shiftpoints, valve adjustments, pacesetter cat-back, and sprint springs. I'll be honest, my dad's an eye surgeon and he pays for my car, insurance, and mods (he has a modded s2000). My dad won't let me work except for summers because he says school is my job. But don't think that I get it all handed to me, I maintain a 4.1 GPA in college courses and got a 1420 on the SAT's studdying my *** off and I wouldn't get the stuff I get if I didn't.

 

so pretty much if u are still in high school and u have a lot of mods and low miles on your car, u r pretty much spoiled

 

last year of high school, basicly I took teh car from parents/they don't drive it anymore since grade 11 (almost 2 years ago)
