My 2003 Maxima

Hi everyone! new to the site here... I used to own a 2000 altima which was going to be turbo'd but I crashed that a couple months ago. I could show pictures of that in another thread. But here is my car I picked up about 6 weeks ago.

How does it feel compared to the altima?

In terms of power; a hell of a lot more. The 6 speed is so much better to drive. The max has more room, and is bigger obviously. The turn radius in my altima sucked but this is worse. The only thing that was better about my altima is that it handled better because it was a smaller car and had a better suspension set up.

Not to mention the gas mileage, but I rather have the 3.5l anyday, lovely car.

Looks good, but clean inside. I can see things starting to grow in the carpet.

Thank's all. I need to buy new floor mats next. I got shifter bushings, sway bar bracket bushings, engine mount inserts, smoke bumper lenses, and going to make the free short throw shifter for now. Then nothing else until the spring time.

I think I am going to put in angel eyes, get a HID fog light kit, and then change over to the red/clear tail lights just like my old car had. Throw on some smoked bumper signals and put a drop on it in the spring around my birthday.

thanks guys; I will lower it in the spring time. saving money over the winter. I got like 5 more mods going in it over the winter and I will show pictures of that. Mostly going to be brake and suspension mods because I think that is this cars most lacking departments.

unfortunately it is raining outside otherwise I would go out and take a photo of the mods I just did. Injen intake which soon will be a place racing intake, free short shifter, and yes a braided stainless steel clutch line with Teflon which was originally made for a 2000 altima and it fits.

Ya; my friend just bought a master flaring kit so I am going to cut off some of the hard line and flare it so the clutch line bracket will be in the original spot.
