This is my maxima. I finally had the chance to take a pic of it. I dont have a digtial cam I just borrowed one. Anyways thats her. I plan on putting diffrent rims, body kit, and a new paint job on it. Probaly a darker blue. Tell me what you think.

 

no offense but save your money.

 

no need to spend a bunch of money on a paint job, it looks good. a clay bar and a wax job will bring it back to life. rims are ok, you can resell those, but a front lip would look realllly nice.

 

i agree totally with ^^^him, try to get a nice lip and some newer style rims. will 5th or 6th gen rims fit? id justc paint that side skirt body color, what do you think?

 

4 lug is stock on this car...i agree with the paint, its way better than mine is....if you just got it and your not sure of the matience.... GET THE TIMING BELT REPLACED

should be replaced every 60,000 miles....mine hadnt been replaced and there was 155,000 miles on the car when it snapped a week before my appointment to get it changed, we thought i had been changed atleast once, we thought very wrong....$2000 later, i am into the car too much so no sence in getting rid of it....but its getting better as time goes on

 

With a little bit of money it will be the talk of the town

 

I love it.

 

Thanks for all the comments. I wanted painted because its rusting and there is a lot of scatches and chips you cant really see. I am planning on putting a body kit on it eventually when I get money. I was hoping on putting some slipstream rota rims. Its my first car and its the best. It might not be as fast as a mazada mx 6 but speed isnt everthing. I dont think I have replaced the timing belt. When I first got it out of the junk yard I let the mechanics fix it up then I took over fixing everything on it. It has 205,000 miles on it. I might replace it anyways just in case. ITs not diffuclt to replace the timing belt?

 

Wow, 205,000 miles????

Im impressed its still running! Lets hope you get some good years out of it.

 

thats gangster as fark, needs some black wheels

 

Its great to see maximas last so long... real hot.. I know those seats are REAL comfy !

 

Looks pretty good to be so old. Just wax it up a little and you'll be straight.

 

this is a classic maxima man, how could you say that?? i think it would look tight with black wheels, 5 % black tint and a black front lip on it...gangster.


btw...i havent seen you around the ville...what part of louisville do you live at?

 

Gotta agree. Keep it clean and perform regular maintenance, but investing in new wheels, paint job, body kit parts, etc. in a car that's total value is under those kind of upgrades is a waste of money. You are 20, you've got time to save up and get something better if you're patient. In the mean time enjoy your max and take care of it. I drove a 85 Accord POS for years while I saved my money and then I bought a brand new Altima. Then I saved a few more years and bought an Infiniti I30. If you're a working man like me just gotta save and spend your money wisely.

 

 

Congrats on your first car! It looks pretty nice. I think 2nd gen Maximas look awesome when they're modded. I wouldn't mind getting one at some point in the future to modify. It looks great in blue.

 

I am near Jeffersonville,IN so like near the river thats what part of Louiville I am from. I now I need to save my money and buy a better car. Its already going to be lowered and a body kit would look nice on it. I need only a paint job because theres rust on the drivers side door and underneath the drivers side door. Paint chips along the trunk side. Scratches all over the car. The trunk lid isnt even the same color of the car. Thats the man reason I want to paint it. Make it look better than it is. I am going with some team dynamics mirage rims 15". I know there out of business but I can still get them for around $600. Kinda expensive but I need new rims because the star ones are bent like its unbalanced. Yeah unreparable. Body kit I really dont need and since i am lowering it the body kit may scrape the ground and chip the new paint on it anyways. So I am doing this all for a reason not because I am foolishing spending money. The rims I got free from a junk yard and same goes for those side skirts. I do take care of her I do regular matinece checks on it. It has a K and N filter in it Iridium spark plugs premium spark plug wires. Those are really the only performance stuff I have done. Other than that its stock with new stock parts. I have rebuilt the automatic tranny in it, I put a new head on it, it also has a new front pipe and itermidiate pipe and a new catiliyitic convertor on it. From the cat its a bigger pipe with one of those loud mufflers on it thats sounds pretty nice not like those fart mufflers like its a deep sound pretty cool. Now you know why I am so attached to this car I put so much work into it. Right now its in my school shop right now where I am working on puting on new springs and shocks and sturts. Yeah I would like a newer car maybe even a faster one but I am happy with what I got and I am restoring it as much as I can. Next project rebuiling the engine, now thats going to be fun.

 

Be sure to post some pics when its painted and you get the rims on!

 

Good start! Let's get those rims on..and that wax job going.

 

Do what ever makes u happy! But take some advices from all these guys. Sometimes we dont like to listen to what other people tell us and at the end we do what we want, but all these guys give you different opinion from past experience. Enjoy your ride and hope everything comes out great 4 U!

 

Nice to see those classic maxima's still out there. Your car reminds me of a stanza I had same color and everything. Get some wax on there and post some pics.

 

now thats a classic reminds me of the maxima i learned to drive with dat 88' was the ****!

 

I know I need to wash it more. I wash it as soon as it gets out of the shop. O boy I cant wait to drive it with its new suspension, rims, and tires. (jumps up and down)

 

did you ever get the timing belt done? how much does that cost on a max?
