Mods to S

How much trouble do you think it would be to remove two doors and make my S a two door,, put a turbine in and swap in a single speed tranny, change out all of my lights for Christmas tree lights, put a 737 spoiler on the rear end, change out the tires and wheels for tank tracks?

would that mess up my warranty?

Should be no problem at all. Can't wait to see the pictures

Those tank tracks may have a negative impact on your 0-60 times though.

1. Take the least costly way out and just weld up your rear doors.
2. Turbine would fit in quite well unless you can't get your hands on a titanium elevon relief valve.
3. Single speed tranny? Well, with a CVT you have that now!
4. Christmas Tree Lights: No problem, except your range will be severely limited by the no. of feet of extension cord you can spool up into the trunk. Personally I prefer the XMas Tree type.
5. 737 spoiler. I assume you mean Boeing 737 spoiler. I experienced major pain when I tried this with my Max. Might want to consider finding a surplus set of F-86 Sabre speed brakes and just keep them extended.
6. Tank Tracks? Are you kidding me. No way. I thought this was a serious post but now I see you are just full of __it. No dis intended.
7. I have absolutely nothing to do.

Thank you...thank you... thank you. I have never laughed this hard (and I am still currently laughing) at anything posted on the org. before.

Mason, this makeover is 'do-able' only if you 1) Do a Group Buy and 2) Take and post lots of pictures...people who read these forums like to see pictures.

I too am amazed that people spend $20-40,000 for a used and/or new Maxima and then want 400-500 horsepower...instead of buying a rear wheel drive car that comes from the factory with that amount or more horsepower, has a warranty, and is cheaper than butchering the Maxima.

$20 for a new or used Maxima?

I still have nothing to do!
