Wrapping up '09

Some of the Dallas guys and I met up for a small shoot the other day. More pics from the next shoot will be up in a couple weeks.

From front to back... 82maxtx, oshytisjp, JNCoRacer, Majestic_Ken, Nismo4Life07, and Nyana107.

Looks good man. Loving the projectors, but they need some shrouds. And pop that little side marker back in.

BTW, what are you dropped on?

Shrouds will come after I decide which ones I want to go with. And what sidemarker are you talking about?

I'm dropped on lowering springs. LOL.

Next to the driver side fog. Is that a side marker? I'm not familiar with I30's.

And what lowering springs? S-Tech's? I need specifics..

Ah, yes...THAT light. Its actually in right. Its the fog thats pushed in too far towards the middle of the car.

I have the WORST springs you can get for a Maxima(or I30)...Sprint springs. Its a crappy ride, but Ive had that setup on my Maxima's(or I30) for years, so Ive gotten used to it.

Whatever it is, fix THAT lol.

What struts do you have with those springs? Maybe that's the problem. Sprints are pretty crappy though but at least it looks good.

Tokiko's. It looks ok, but EVERYTHING will be changing on it starting after the first next year. Paint (look close, you can see the clear coat coming off the hood. Courtesy of my neighbors kids.) Suspension, wheels, interior...all of it.

Damn there's just no suspension travel with those springs .

Don't change the color of the car, it looks great so just have it re-painted that color. Suspension, coilovers. Wheels, keep them. Interior, keep it.

BTW, we haz da same Stillen muffler.

Paint...same color or Toyota's Sage Mica Metallic which is similar. ('10 Camry SE/XLE color) I'll be doing the prep work myself, filling and fixing dings.
Coilovers...yes.
Wheels...maybe. Looking for another set of SSR's like whats on my car in my sig pic.
Interior...keeping the green, ditching the tan.

I didnt know it was an actual Stillen muffler. I thought it was just a free flow with a Stillen tip. I actually like the sound.

Your wheels now look better than the 1s in your sig IMO.
If your going to ditch the tan interior go black. That would look really good.

Stillen muffler FTW. I like how mine sounds too. I still have the stock piping though. Hopefully after Christmas I'm gonna get a custom 2.5" mandrel bent cat back with that muffler. It should sound good, I'm just undecided on whether or not I want to add a resonator.

I like my current wheels. But the SSR'd were staggered, and looked like the Work Euroline DH's Mr****sSE had a while back.
The tan has to go for sure. I like the contrast of a two-tone, so I'm thinking balck and green.
I've had the muffler for years...sitting on a shelf most of the time. When I had a y-pipe on my Maxima's it sounded raspy as hell. But since this car is all stock it sounds better IMO. I'd like to get a better exhaust for better flow at some point, but for now I'm happy with stock performance.

The i30 is sick. I didn't know that the sprint springs were that bad, the drop amount is perfect.

Staggered is a nice plus, even though its a FWD car.

Black and green would look extremely nice and clean.

I have a y-pipe and there's a small amount of rasp but not much. I still like it and it's not too loud either.

Thanks. Yeah I like Majestic Ken's Max. As for the 1st gen, he had some tire issues before we met up.

Thanks Kenny. And no on the wheels. Besides, you'd just trade them for something else a week later.

They dont match. Those are the stock rims on the rear, and steelies on the front. Trying to talk him into getting a certain kind of rim.

Ha! You cant see in the pics, but the paint on the grille looks like ****. It didnt orange-peel but more did this funky crack texture. It needs to be stripped and redone as well.
