Simple mods that are worth the $

I pulled my front strut tower bar and Stillen intake off my 99 before selling it. Even the wife noticed the car was down on torque. The car did not pull as hard in the mid to upper end. On the way home after picking up the 2K2 she says "this car needs a strut tower bar".

WOW! You've got the wifey trained well! Does she by any chance drive a stick? As soon as I get my new engine, I'm going to get myself a bar and intake! Can't wait!

Yes, she drove my 5spd alot. We test drove the 2K2 6spd. I got on it but took it easy on the gearbox because the car had only like 11 miles on it. She got a 2nd gear chirp and lit the tires up for half a block!

you guys are sick

anyway, yeah. suspension mods like the FSTB and RSB are a must. besides, they don't cost a lot of $$$. as for intake. i still stand behind the fact that the CAI is the best bang for the buck.

Woohoo...

Just ordered my FSTB and RSB from CustomMaxima today! They're shipping today too, so I can't wait until they're on my car hopefully by next Friday.

I was serious. My wife knows how to drive a Manual transmission, and I think it's great. I hate Automatics.

Wow, your wife is cool. That makes buying cars much simpler. (ie, auto vs stick Maxima!)
