So I get off of work today and I get on the freeway to do my 35 minute drive home. As I'm getting on this early 90's mustang 5.0 convertable merges in front of me, top down, guy leaning back like he's all pimp. I ignore him at first, but a minute later I see him staring at this poor girl in a civic, revin back and forth at her, and she's just ignoring the clown So I pull up next to him and give it some gas to get his attention. As I get up next to him I notice he just bought the car, still has the $5999 sticker from the used car dealer, and some ugly a$$ fake daytons on, looked like some giant 14's! So I give it some gas a couple times and see him floor it from about 60mph. I got my foot to the floor at about the same time, and we stayed pretty even up to 80 or so when I slowy started pulling ahead. I didn't want to just barely pull on him though, so I sprayed for a few seconds till I passed 100 and he was 4-5 car lengths back. The look on his face when I took off... Priceless. He got off a couple exits later, I wanted to follow him and tell him to take it back to the used car dealer, coulda got a much nicer 3rd gen for that money!

P.S. The V6 owner has confessed to losing twice to a slightly modded Civic SI.

Ford Probers act like that too. They think those cars are the fastest things on the road. My auto is supposed to be slow according to my Maxus times posted but I creamed a kid in his 96 Probe at the Pike with rice pipes and the whole 9 yards. It didn't make since for me to go up past 60 being that he was 4 car lengths back by the time I got there.

A purge valve just clears your NOS lines of air, so you get a good NOS hit as soon as you spray. It can be put in an auto or 5 speed. As far as cost, your looking at $500 for the kit, plus another $200 at least for gauges, you should also get the VB mod, a tranny cooler, and fuel pump if you plan on going over a 60 shot. Purge valves are about $100, bottle heater is $100. I would say you could get a basic kit going for about $6-800. The NOS kit #5124 is a dry kit, a wet kit would have to be done custom, like 1MAX2NV. Good luck.

Thanks for clearing that up... I heard that the purge valve was for manuals... I'm getting a new car in 2 years so I just wanna have a little fun before i get rid of it... So by all the things you mentioned I should hit a grand pretty easy... The guy i was talking to said that he will just be installing the nos to my air intake or that i can tap into my fuel line... which one is recommended for peak performance...?

P.S. If you become a NOS junky the prices of refilling your bottle adds up quickly.

Of course we didn't mean you Mustang1999.
I know that there are some liars on the board but I haven't seen anybody :cough: Sprint :cough: brag about their Max being the fastest.
Or does he own an S4?

I was talking to this shop owner and he said that he can get me the NOS v-6 75 shot kit for 660. This is the kit that combines the fuel and nos together. He also said that he can get me the dry set up for 400. Should i just go with zex...? I need that purge valve... how much is it to fill a 75 shot bottle from empty...?

punk: "you've gotta be kidding me.. racing that thing around!!"
Not knowing who he was talking to, they both answered:
"what do you have?"
Punk: "That's my probe over there(riced up 2.0, not the GT) and I'll race you for pinks!"
Still not knowing who he was talking to, they both answered "who me?"
Punk: "yeah, you with the Maxima!"
bbmax572 "are you on drugs! You'll race me but not the civic? Sure, I could use an extra car."
The passenger flags them near a light and the civic follows. Just to mess with him, bbmax572 launches easy and stays right next to his window 75% through first. Right before he shifts to 2nd, he looks over, smiles, waves and takes off. He pulls hard enough to block off the road and get out of his car at the next light. The civic blocks the probe in and the Punk gets out of his car.
bbmax572 "gimme the keys"
Punk: "Common, I was joking"
bbmax572: "Gimme The Keys!"
Civic: (grabs tire iron)"Give him the keys, now."
Punk: "Common man, I wasn't trying.... I understimated your car... I'll race you back...."
Civic: "give him the keys, or I'm gonna crown your A$$!"
Punk's Girlfriend: "Oh my God! Oh my God, give him the keys"
Civic: "That's it......."
bbmax572 has to cool down his Civic friend. In the mean time, probe punk jumps back into his car with his girl and bails.

Re: I've heard...
Not True. Does the S/C take 1000 miles off your engine everytime you drive? Does a turbo? If anything, NOS, when used properly, causes less damage because you only use it for a few seconds at a time, it's not always on. There are plenty of people who have gone through dozens of bottles on there max with no probs. Matt (MardigrasMax) did a compression test on his engine before he pulled it and had awsome compression. ANYTHING IS BAD IF YOU ABUSE IT!

If his theory is right, how would we ever know. How many people run their car past 150k to begin with, or 200k even? You'll find most of those cars dying from other problems other than their engine (unless they never changed the oil or had been pinging for a while). Maybe engines in general are built to last "X"k miles, and our "abuse" never really matters because we don't use the engine long enough to see it die... just a thought.

Re: Re: Re: Re: STEVE!!!
Yeah I guess your right, the M3 is a whole different class of car from the Max... I gotta decide soon weather I want to sink a large chunk of cash into the Max with mods, sell and buy the new 6 speed, or just keep the Max until I can afford to sell and get the M3, oh yeah, thinking about buying a house soon too.... So many ideas, so little $$$...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: STEVE!!!
Yeah, but those S4's are Sooooooo nice. Thats another car I have considered, but I will be keeping the Max for at least another two years, have to finish school first! Right now though the only cars I really want are a 6 speed max, S4, or M3. If only I had more $$$
