Some pics after months of bad weather II
Ripping off Tim's (Semy2k2go) thread.... here's my own with the state my car has been in all winter and the current state, now that we have ONE day of good weather (with snow on the way again in 2 days)... I just couldn't bear it any longer and got the Max washed.... no hardcore detailing yet though, maybe in the spring....
This also gives people a chance to see how (good) a 2002 Majestic Blue Max looks with 2001 SE tails, debadged, a Progress drop, and a Frankencar rear section....
(Not that ya haven't already seen it, but a reminder every now and then is nice... )
0947 HRS - Before the wash:

As far as my car dude, my stupid crappy Sony cybershot camera broke (accidentally left the camera in my back seat and temp went below 0 degrees, now it died). Anyway, now the weather is getting better, i'm gonna wash my car and use my friends camera to take some pics. I got rid of my tvs and stuff.. so i'm looking for performance mods this summer
This week my intake goes in..

nah, i havent cleaned it yet. all the times i have cleaned my stuff in the past tho, on past cars, ive let the filter sit out in the sun for a while, usually about an hour to 2, so there is no chance of oil getting to anything.

Nice and clean!
btw, what do you consider bad weather? The car didn't really seem that dirty to begin with. If you were to see my 2k2 and '97 you'd get a heart attack b/c they're covered with salt, sand, and mud. You gotta love Canadian winters...lol

Anyways... I've never seen/let my car get as dirty as the pics in the first post, but if yours is worse, then its gotta be pretty bad....

i don't know about you guys but i feel like i'm driving a brand new car when i was my max inside and out to get all the winter salt off. i was going to wash mine in a few weeks but i have two huge bird **** splatters on my rear window so it may have to be sooner.
are those magnaflow exhaust tips? 35131 or something like that? how do you like them?

Puppetmaster >> How do you like the Frankencar exhaust system? How long have you had it installed? I have always liked the way the system and muffler look, but I'm not looking for an obnoxious exhaust tone. I'm looking for something as close to stock as possible, with some performance. Is Frankencar even still selling them? Last I heard they were having like 2-3 month delays in shipping them out? Thanks!

Anyways, Frankencar is selling em, but how good their service and response time is anyone's guess... I've (along with many other guys) had great luck with em in terms of reponses to voicemails, emails, quick shipping, etc, but others have had extremely different experiences...
If ya wanna know what I did, I left Scott a voicemail, which he responded to w/in a day, to verify that they had some cat-backs in stock. After our conversation, I Paypaled him the money, and the exhaust was here in 3 days. Whole process took less than 6 days. Can't call that bad service can ya?
