to put crap in when they dont know what they are talking about.
Remember when the 4th gen was on the cover of Car and Driver? I do, it only took me four years later to get one, didn't know about this site back then though, didn't have the money to do any mods anyway. Not that I do now either, but every time something breaks I certainly upgrade.
[edit] oh yeah, the 5 spd got a 6.7 sec 0-60

uncle sprinty never owned me. Love ya sprinty
no one had MAF problems(thanks nissan)
brake rotors didn't warp on a brand new car after 15K(thanks again nissan)
coilpacks lasted longer then the spark plugs(thanks again nissan, do we see a pattern here)
4th Gens still RULE, Once i sell my Z i'll be on the lookout for a 99SE-L Crimson Blaze.

4 lbs of boost meant 275whp.
The only body kit available was the Stillen.
Fastest N/A Max was ran a 14.3 ...
Fastest boosted was 13.2 automatic S/C
BrianV was the first to have Milles and it looked sooo good ...
Emax had the first NZ headers, and they were black.
All of our knock sensors were working fine and we had no clue how to change them
RB was annoying to talk to because he could barely speak/write in english
Hal(HLH) blew his automatic ...
200 whp seemed unattainable.
The DEK never had coil/MAF problems
Deezo had a sig when his car was assaulted by mud/ice/salt.
mzmtg's sig showed him hitting the rev limiter in 3rd w/ 180,xxx miles.
No one cared about LED's.
mecca had his first car, a 95/6 pebble beige GLE ...

And there's no way any transmission can make 300hp at the wheels out of 190 at the crank.

The speaker placement is good though. I could do without the hassles of the head unit. As they say "no highs, no lows, must be bose"
When everyone was freaking out about 4th gen manual tranny shims/bearings and motorvate.ca saw a lot of traffic.
When Mecca was drawing up the blueprints for his twin turbo
(I was going to go with when DBM was around and 'when I owned a maxima', but those are played out already)

Remember when......
....Lime started NEMAXIMA
...."Pinky" was one of the more popular maximas on here
....everyone could use the search function
....Jambo owned the site
...."donkey" was just an animal
....3rd gen owners believed 3rd gens were better than 4th gens
........oh wait, they still do.

...when required first mods seemed to be intake, FSTB and clear corners, Y-pipe was up there too lol.
I could almost always identify another maxima.org member because i would see the clear corners. most of the time anyway
I also remember when the site would be down all the time cause of too many people on the site, but it was worth it because everyone on here was mature, took no BS and for the most part were real enthusiasts.
Now its "how big of a dub can i fit" or "where can i gets some of doz tyte altezzas foo!" or people asking what kind of gas they should put in the Max? Questions like that used to get you shot.

Remember when........
- the 4th gen forum was filled with great threads on new mods etc..... now it's just, "How do I fix this?"
- CE was still in business and thought their 95/96 red/clears would be the hottest thing since sliced bread? Bububackfire.
- RedlineMax was in business
- MEVI's were fetching $600...
- You had to donate to be able to search
- Donkey thought he owned OT
- There was an OT "raw" inside of OT where a password was required
sigh OT raw ftw
two words: Craig Mack and his GF stories...
WTF happened to Donkey I wonder? Mildly entertaining in an obnoxious way.
Caesar was in the US
Pike Video
Cheston was telling my KYB-AGX were the absolute best suspension for the max (I listened)
People were far more chill, friendly, no flame wars, mostly constructive advice. sigh. the good ol' days!
