a week and free mods
ok well, im driving my dads 00 maxima 5spd all this week and yesterday i got bored, wanted some more sound, so i unbolted the back muffler, sounds like crap IMO but its not bad for the 5 minutes it took, what else can i do with the stock pieces to make the car a moded a little, could i do the cheap intake where it uses the stock one and makes it suck cold air? i think its in the FAQ guide thing, the muffler is of coarse going back on at the end of the week, but is there anything i can do that my dad would aperciate, like a pratical mod that would get her a little peppyer, being hes 54, hes still a kid with it but he in no means grannys it

hes not i told him, he said its fine, hes ok with me messing around with his car, hes not gona kick my **** b/c he knows i know what im doing, im asking if theres any way you can modify the stock intake, like the Ooglie Stock Cold Air Intake, is that hard to do?
muffler off is ghetto. put that **** back on before you get a ticket. Driving around with no muffler does not sound cool, it sounds like.....um.....that you have a bad muffler and are too cheap to replace it.

Never lost to a Neon yet, I think they sound like a.ss. Remove the MAF neva the less its a restriction in the intake, Nissan put it there for emissions reasons just like the cats. I been driving without one for years on my Honda, no problems.

well for the bird the intake silencer is a piece in the fender well that can be just taking out, gives the car a true CAI
j-mod, it would be a shift kit desihgned by the maker of the tranny, a 4r70w is the stock tbird tranny, its an AODE basically, with diffrent 1st and 2nd gear ratios, but the desighner of the tranny wrote up a custom shift kit using all ford parts that makes the car shift harder, quicker, and last longer, so its a must do
the FRPP 9mm wires are just spark plug wires, ford racing performance parts, there blue, and pretty, i would just stick with stock as wires dont add a single hp, but the FRPP wires are a good 50 dollars cheaper then stock wires, 80 for FRPP vs 130 for OEM
autolite 764, are stock heat range plugs, the .058 gap isnt the stock plug gap so its kind of a mod, i just had it in there for the t-bird forums, and i copyed and pasted it over to these forums, just b/c i actaully own the bird, i love maximas alot tho
180 stat, stock t stat temp range is 195, the 180 stat opens sooner, id figure youd know that though, and basically for the 4 speed holes, in muscle mustangs and fast fords they drilled 4 holes around the base of the t-stat so the cooling system got a little bit of coolant even with the t stat closed, it runs at a good temperature, i did this more b/c i wanted to see the diff vs a regular 180 stat, it does run a little cooler, but obviously not overly cool, just cool enough
as for the maxima, i get the ooglie CAI, so im probably gonna find a way to modify the stock intake, and the muffler thing, yeah i was just playing around with the car, im not unhooking the maf, im not stupid, the muffler goes back on very soon, i just wanted some sound out of it
