Running at the track one final time...before I say goodbyeSo I have officially given up and de-modded my maxima...it's been great modding maximas for the past 4+ years in my life...I will continue to surf the org and go to events...however my heart is set on another car...and at the moment, I am saving up for it...

La02max & nismo14 - not sure...i'm thinking of the Z or the s2k...the Z is suppose to get a new engine this year...but I dunno if I can afford 30k car....I might settle with a used s2k below 20k...SSRs I sold 
but its cool...I bought some falken 512s for my 17x7! they grip very well for such a cheap tire! la02 - what psi do you have them set at?

And of course all the freaking traveling that i've done in the past year...oh well you get what you pay for. Next time I won't be so cheap

Hey nice pics man, and sorry to see it go. Your maxima was very nice and hope to see you still on the .org. With your next car, good luck and hope you can mod it whether it be a 350Z or a S2K. Did you consider a used 350Z at all? Nissans lose value very nicely.

Of the choices, I think the Z would have a slight advantage for me. More low end grunt, and if its a newer model, GREAT high end power with the REV-UP engine. Either way it's a win win. Better car, better performance, better handling. What more can you ask for.

nismo14 - I'm sure there are nicer more bang for the buck value cars out there...but I am too chicken to venture out into the German, American market...

one of the slickets maximas on the org - the SSRs will do that 
A shame to see you go. Take care.
BTW, test drive a Mazdaspeed3 - very fast, awesome handling, looks good, and great aftermarket support. I like my wife's "normal" Mazda3S, but the MS3 is downright outstanding to drive.
