Welcome to the .org since i'm in philly maybe u could come to our meet.....

 

WTF happend? This thread is nearls 10 pages long in like 12 hrs. Looks like Kev was right we R just horn dogs........

 

Maxima.org has become a singles dating service! Poor lonely geeks......

 

Heh, who u calling a GEek...??? Geek..!!!

 

Guess you wasn't reading much......when one is willing to drive three to four states to help a fellow (and so happens to be a female) member, something is wrong.......

 

I was kidding about the driving from Georgia to Maryland! Damn! Give me some kind of credit... well unless she's really hot

 

... and a guy would NEVER get this kind of response...... tells you something, huh?

 

Did it ever occur to you guys that maybe she is using her gender in her favor? She might be doing this just to get mods installed for free, and probably parts at a lower cost otherwise. Nothing against BellaMaxima, for I do not know her, but most women do this type of thing in one way or another.

 

You would take advantage of any edge you had. Everyone would. If women can get free ****, I say go for it. It's the guy's fault for being such an ***. "Hold your head up little man, your a king....

I will vouch for her radiant beauty

 

KevinG, you might as well start a "Singles" Forum.
Or you can just make a special Synki forum.

 

I am not trying to get free mod's as you put it, I am just basically on here to read about other maxima owners while having fun, I am not a type of womman who does that i work and have my own money

 

need to keep it maxima related if you want the post to live longer..

 

Maybe we should start a new forum. Kind of like singles.com, but for Max owners. Put it right under the Group Deals forum. That would be fun!

 

Her Max has some very nice stero mods. Did you guys check out her enclosure in the trunk? Pretty nifty, in my opinion. Mounted in hinges to still get access to the spare...

 

And allow only donating members to use it, and watch Kev's pockets get deeper!

 

Ive never seen a thread grow that fast, it usually takes over a week and an interesing thread to get near this, but 12 hrs!!! Hey I guess were just not used to having too many girls on the forms and when a few showed up we just kinda.....jumped on it so to speak.

 

At least you know how to make the girls feel welcome.

 

we should've bought VW beetles and join their forum.

 

(<-- me getting ready for this afternoons episode)

 

Hey Quick! Were you talking about my car? That is pretty nifty, but was a B**** to install! It looks completely different now...pics will be up soon!

 

Was that your car? Yeah then, that was an awesome setup. You should try tp put together a how to. Really good looking setup!

 

:attention Ok, I'm a girl with a 2001 Nissan Maxima SE 5 speed (wish I had a 6 speed though). (no, my name's not Lisa or Jennifer!) I do care about my car, I don't just twist the key and push the pedals! I consider myself pretty car knowlegable. My car is meticulously clean and I am very aware of sounds and feelings that are not quite right. Aside from a nose cover, I am virtually modless (since I just bought it 6 weeks ago). I have mostly lurked on the forum to get some mod ideas. Any suggestions for someone just starting out?

 

Welcome.

What do you want to do first, performance or handling?

 

I'm thinking performance and appearance first.

 

In all reality (depending on how far you want to take your Max), the mods should be done in the following order (this is just my opinion, but it's probably the safest for pure performance upgrades, and most likely keeps you from having to rework or redo things)...


1. Suspension and wheel/tire upgrade (suspensionm includes any lowering springs, shocks/struts, ground control, rear sway bar, front tower strut bar, and if you want, rear tower strut bar)

2. Brake system upgrades (larger or stock size higher performance aftermarket brake rotors, pads, and calipers, as well as stainless lines)

3. Transmission upgrades (aftermarket performance clutch, limited slip differential, shorter throw shifter kit...you could do things like different motor mounts and underdrive pulleys here since the tranny will be pulled out)

4. Any and all engine and exhaust performance upgrades (if you want any, that is). These include turbo kits, supercharger kits, any new cams/heads/headers/intakes, ECU upgrades, Y pipes, high flow catalytic converters, B pipe, new mufflers/silencers...etc etc. And the last sub-step is DYNO TUNING.

5. And finally, any body and paint work you want to get done. If you do body and paint work before some of the other steps, you'll most likely have to do some stuff over b/c tearing apart engines and trannys is rather messy and "could" ruin paint, or you could accidentally scratch/dent/ding body panels and such. Then you have to re-do a section or sections to get everything to match up again (this sucks, and I have first hand experience).

Now, that outline is what you would do for building a show car or true highperformance every day driver and/or race car. You can mix and match some things in the steps above without having to worry about messing stuff up (ECU upgrades, wheels and tires, any stero or interior work...). Hopefully this will help you out in your general layout. If you want, I can make a spreadsheet that has all the phases listed on it. I used to have lots of fun building stuff when I was younger (project VW's, musclecars, sleeper/grocery getters). Hope this helps get you going!

 

I just bought my 2K about a month ago. You can see my purchases in my sig. These were all done last weekend. Next up are clears and tires. I am thinking about injen CAI next. I'm a little worried about all these MAF issues though.

There are no MAF issues with a 2k, 2k1 using an Injen intake. These issues are for 2k2, 2k3 with Injens. Some of the 2k2 guys are even using a 2k, 2k1 MAF which seems to be working.

 

I have not heard this. I appreciate the info. I will do a signal check on the board to make sure no one has encountered any new problems.

Thanks.

 

Stop being one and it goes away...

Just kidding man, just post more than 50 messages.

 

Thanks - this info definitely helps. I don't want to put you out by asking you to build up a spreadsheet. I just have to prioritize and budget!

Once you get bitten by the 'mod bug' as it is affectionately called here, it is tough to get that mean lil' bastard to let go!

 

What is this? The never ending thread??

 

Hey Sassy, finally saw your ride the other night, looks the b***s!

 

We just try to avoid guys like you, that's all.. no offence or anything.

It's nice to see some more chicks like me around! Are any of you ladies interested in other ladies or.....?

 

Won't see any flamming on newbies here..........

Time to settle in on this...

 

Looks like it might be

 

Maybe we should have KevinG our fearless leader trim the first 4-5 pages off so it can continue but be more manageable. Its up to 11 pages right now...
