So....what do you have to do to the Max before Maxus??

Like it says....

Just got SS brake lines installed (thanks Eric) Painted my CF eyelids black because they were getting cloudy. Need to install 10mm spacers on the rear.

.....and a full detail - interior, exterior and engine bay.

I have to detail my car inside and out. No engine detailing for me this time around. I'm too busy detailing half of the Chicago Maximas.

Haven't taken any yet, but I will.

I'll have my window trim re-blacked out by Maxus. And I may have a modified engine cover.....

well i had the car ready for maxus after putting in a whole new drive train(tranny, clutch, flywheel, and axles) as well as headers. then this week i noticed that my rear main seal was leaking and my UDP was making a bad noise. we got the udp fixed and we got the new seal in the back. the only thing left is to reinstall the new drive train, fix the exhaust leak, get the car tuned, and hopefully putting my nitrous back on. way too many things on the list. it's been a crazy two weeks that for sure.

All you have to do is make your car look good. Mine are stock, but that doesn't keep me from coming.

You are local, and haven't been seen for anything thus far. Either way, come as you are is my motto. Most cars are a work in progress anyway

I need to install my E36 headlights, the stillen kit, hopefully retro my R34 tails on, and get a paint job. Think I can do it? I don't.... Either way I'll be there.

major wash & wax and especially clean my wheels
also probably paint my calipers to show off my BBK.

My car is in dire need of a detail.

I have to detail it...again. And give her an oil change.

I would like to clean and re-undercoat the underside, but I don't know if I have time.

if my dad gives me until the 1st to pay my insurance i might just go ahead and toss my other motor in..... it actually has good injectors on it. problem is I'm getting THREE paychecks all on the 13th.... so i can't order anything until then, which gives me almost no time to work with the parts once i get them (would arrive on like, wednesday... leaving 2 days to work with them)

but in reality I prolly won't do much but clean it out, maybe replace my tierods & boots, run the dehumidifier (car stinks like hell every morning) reinstall the interior, and try and get the greasy fingerprints off the paint as best I can.... oh, and put a spoiler on to fill up the holes in the trunk lid. It'll be an eyesore but it could be worse. At least it goes!

I need to replace my thermostat and give it a coolant flush as well. My car overheats from time to time.

nothing to it. just remember to crack the bolts loose again after installing the new regulator and rolling the window up so the regulator will self-adjust to center the window glass in its tracks, otherwise it'll roll up slow and straining-like. then just tighten them back and you're good to go.

For my SSIM, I finished gutting my spare upper IM and started polishing it. Hopefully I'll finish it and have it installed for Maxus. And a full detail, of course.
