New Years Resolutions

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

I would like to start a poll regarding any New Years resolutions related to your Maximas. It can be anything from selling to buying, modding (or not modding), etc.

I will start mine by making a promise to never use cheap oil filters ever again. Stupid me was running synthetic oil for 5K miles using cheap *** Penzoil filters for the entire time. The filters were free as they were left over when I took over my repair shop, so I figured "what the hell!" NEVER AGAIN!!!

Anyways, everyone have a safe New Years!


Roy

Seriously though, probably at least an RSB, intake spacers when I change plugs, UDP and maybe a freer flowing exhaust. I'd love to get headers too but just don't want to deal with the strict emissions testing we have here.

However, if I can find a low mileage 6 speed car, probably going to sell my current Maxima and get the 6 speed car.

I like my 6-speed better than my Mother-in-law's auto. It's much more fun.
Damn!! Where the heck do you live? Do the smog techs actually do visual inspections there or what? That must suck. I am glad Nevada is so liberal when it comes to smog laws.

After I install the red/clears, buy some lowering springs, and actually save up for a catback. Oh and drive my '03 more often, she often just sits in the carport collecting dust.
