Good job Jimmy!


Hey, why isn't The Wizard's car on the homepage?

https://maxima.org/

Feb. is already a short enough month (good thing it's a leap year). The poor kid is losing valuable exposure time.

IB made some changes and took away my access to update the homepage. it's a slow process to get it back.

You can wonder all you want...but it's up to IB.

Thanks for the PMs from people to tell me that i "forgot" to update the homepage...but since i can't update the homepage anymore it will stay as is until i get my access back.

Dan, how are we supposed to know that you lost your permission to do this. That's really not fair to lash out on people who pm'd you.

i'm not lashing out. i'm as POed/frustrated as you guys are with this. IB took my access and i figured it would be back in a few days...which is not the case. i also asked them to update since i can not...well you see what happened to that.

i took on this role to do the MOTM since previous mods/admins gave up on it. the homepage MOTM change was made by Ryan at IB...i initally just wanted to keep it here. i still had the access for the 2nd month so i updated it for Jan...but now Ryan is gone and i'm without access. I'm waiting on Tim (Ryan's replacement)to pitch in to fix my access or fix the homepage.

to keep it fair for the Feb MOTM...i'll have it for March MOTM also..and hopefully Tim can fix the access or update the homepage by then.
let me know what you think.

Wowzers, so many nice comments. Thank you everyone for your compliments/feedback, I greatly appreciate it. Oh, and thanks for nominating me Ptatohed.

On a side note, I have a new engine bay mod, one new exterior mod, and a several new interior mods. I will share those with you all very soon. I also have a little secret project that I'm in the middle of and probably won't be done for several months. I already have about 40 hours into it. Keep an eye out for new and exciting things!

Additionally, the Max underwent 3 hours of dyno time and 1 hour of street tuning over the last 4 days. The EU is all dialed in and I have some new pretty impressive numbers. I'll post up once I get the drf files from the shop.

Thanks Dan, but I wouldn't be where I am today (power wise) w/o you and several others on the org....I30tMikeD, Nealoc, StephenMax, Ptatohed...

The hood is an OEM Maxima hood from CarbonFX.

I've picked up the car from Justin and the car has transformed into a beast, totally different car. I also have mad torque steer in 3rd gear now! More details to come.

The tailights you made me rule!! Definitely one of my favorite mods. To compliment the tails, I now have S2K AP1 projectors retrofitted in the R34 headlights (Thanks Dasyce!) Light output is awesome.
