That said, I have no problem with your interior. It's not MY thing, but I give you props for alot of hard work on it (especially the TVs).....I don't like the LV/Coach/Gucci/whatever interior, but as long as you like it that's what counts..
You would kick my a@@ at a "show" no doubt, but I will take you at the track. So there's the tradeoff.
BTW if you had been at the racetrack with us a few weeks ago, you might change your mind about no "performance" maximas - there were 4th AND 5th gen maximas there beating mustangs, japanese sports cars, a corvette or two and the list goes on. Tell some of the maxima guys here with S/C that they're not driving "performance" cars...
You are not driving a performance car.
I am not driving a performance car.
But some guys here with 300+ hp, THEY are driving performance cars that just happen to have 4 doors.

Oh my dear lord, somebody actually went ahead and put that crap in a Maxima. I mean, I was imagining how bad it would look in my mind but now seeing it for real it is much, much worse. Whoever did that should be ashamed of himself. It looks like the wallpaper in a Denny's bathroom.

I never said not to get interior work done...I was just saying its not my style.
As for you having more "performance mods" that would make you faster than me, what?
I have:
Intake
According your your website, you have:
Intake
So, where are you hiding your other "performance mods" that would make you faster?
And I didn't say the 5-sp was a mod, I simply stated a FACT that a 5sp will beat an auto, all other things being equal.
As for soonerfan, he (like me) is doing what we can afford to do....we are both employed by the US government, which doesn't pay big $$. Hell, I have mortgage payments and my wife's new care to pay for. I do what mods I can afford...
Now with you having just turned 21, I doubt you have a big house mortgage, so you have alot more $$ to spend on your ride. More power to you. But not everyone here can put 5 TVs in the car, or put a S/C in the car - so dissing people for having less mods than you is weak.
BTW - I know that soonerfan (like myself) does ALL his own mods himself....and there is extra props for doing your own work, thinking up your own ideas (shirts stuffed in the trunk
), and doing what you can do within your means.
If gucci seats, 5 TVs, etc. are within YOUR means, I am very happy for you. They are not within the means (or needs) of many people in here.
BTW I consider a STOCK maxima to be a "performance sedan"....No, maybe it isn't as fast as a STI, but it will whoop up on 3/4 of the mid-sized sedans out there. There are not THAT many cars the size of the maxima that can beat it (especially FWD cars). Performance is relative. Go drive a 4-cyl accord sedan and then tell me the maxima is not a performance sedan. Man you know this, that's one reason YOU and me both bought maximas...for the performance.

my bad dude....I just hate it when people resort to calling others "losers" or saying they don't know about cars....soonerfan (jason) is one of the DC area locals so I gotta have his back when he's not online tonight.
Nothing wrong with criticizing stuff, but don't make it personal like some here have been doing...I'm sitting in my hotel room on a business trip and have nothing better to do so I have to ramble in my responses maybe its time to find some online **** or something nah! the .org is much more entertaining!
btw - Charlottesville, Va. is FULL of ricers....guess that comes with being a college town....I looked out my window and the guy parked next to me has a Civic with plates "ULTIM8" or something similar and has a HUGE honda logo on the entire hood lol!

did you see how many people that were happy as hell about my post on reducing the sub rattle?
and you never said why you list mods that happen to be in the engine bay as "engine mod". technically a CAI isnt an engine mod either. it is an intake mod. which would make it a PERFORMANCE mod.

LOL, nothin against u Irish, comments were more directed to Soonerfan. As far as performance mods, just a Greddy cat back exhaust which doesnt help out that much but it helps. As far as racing u, i wouldnt because i dont race but if we did it would be a close one with other factors involved like driving skills. Its not as simple as u stated. I just think that racing is too dangerous and stupid on streets, as i'm sure u would agree and i wouldn't enjoy going to a track. Rather be doing something else. Comments on interior were directed to whoever made statement about Puffy.

The downside of this forum is that there are too many "haters". Although I might not be interested
in modding my car in ways other's find creative, I can appreciate that they are willing to take chances
and creating the look that they invision for their cars. Afterall it is their car, they pay to drive it and if they chose to make their car a showcar, more power to them.
So fellas.....***** the flamers and haters that
discourage your choice of modding....most cant shell out the loot to do what you are doing and its killing them inside that they have to play it safe and worry like *****es what most people think of them....
Do you and enjoy your whip!Good luck!

hehe the max isnt' hard to drive! my triumph which weighs ~1500 lbs, rear wheel drive, with a heavy iron-block 160+ hp straight-6 up front, NO power brakes, no power steering, and 4-speed stick - now THAT takes some skill to drive (especially at the track....the tail is so lights you get rear wheel screech going into 4TH if you're really pushing it)...
it's all gravy....careful talking to soonerfan. Jason is CRAZY! Actually, he would probably send his lovely girlfriend Ashley to rough you up, I think he's busy putting t-shirts in his wheels to reduce brake shimmy....sorry Jason I know the t-shirts in the trunk work as intended - but they still make me smile

Go ahead and get a SC and then i'll call your car a performance car.
and the radar detectors pics were to show people the best place to hide it. that was also well recieved by everyone on here.
regular maxima? sure is on the outside. i dont care what you call my car. just like you shouldnt cry like a girl when i say yours is ugley and slower then a stock maxima.
yes you can do what you want to your car (whip). just dont expect people to worship the ground you walk on cause you "shelled out loot" to make it what most of us see as "ugly". i like mine classy since thats the reason i bought it. its a "luxury sports sedan" a car thats classier then some cars that cost twice as much and out performs anything in its class.

Hmmmm, u do all your own work. changing bulbs isnt that hard buddy . Sticking a dash kit on isnt that hard either. i'm glad u think so highly of your car. classy???? LOL, in what way? do u honestly think that when u drive by people are saying, damn, there goes one classy car? i'm sure they dont even notice it. What $50k cars are less classy then a maxima? and since when did the maxima become this extraordinary beast u are imagining? it can hold its own but it does not outperform every car in its class.

the EVAP in in the way
The evaporative emission system is used to reduce hydrocarbons emitted into the atmosphere from the fuel system. This reduction of hydrocarbons is accomplished by activated charcoals in the EVAP canister. The fuel vapor in the sealed fuel tank is led into the EVAP canister which contains activated carbon and the vapor is stored there when the engine is not operating or when refueling to the fuel tank.

I asked the dual exhaust question a long time ago too. Got the same answer you just posted. Nicely explained
