sold my maxima....heres the new ride!
 

Hey everybody. A week ago I sold my 1998 QNO Max w/210K on it. It was a fantastic car, I loved it to death. It got me through college without breaking down at all, and I had so many great memories in it. BUT, it was time to move on. I've been looking at Subie WRX's for awhile, and I just bought one last weekend.


It has a ghetto axelback glasspack muffler & chrome tip, so it kinda rumbles, but I'll be replacing that soon. Also has Panasonic fold out DVD HU, and just yesterday I installed my Yakima Rack (gotta haul the mtn. bike here in UT), and a Sound Ordinance 8in powered underseat sub. Sounds great!

Future plans include: RallyArmor UR Mudflaps, RallyArmor skidplate, some sort of catback (turboback eventually, probably Invidia G200 or Cobb), and definitely an AccessPort. I also might have the stock rims powder coated black, but I'm not sure yet.

Enjoy, and thanks to the maxima.org community for being so great! I have always loved this site, and will still be around. I will always be a nissan person at heart.

nice pick up i love subaru's....probably the only kind of car id get rid of the maxima for..

A vvvvery nice car. I also once have a car that company me a long time and have a lot of sweet memories in it.
I hope your car will find a good buyer.

Nice downgrade.......JOKING. It's a good looking car man. What's your plans for it?

Nice new whip always like Subaru's.......:D

The wrx's have great potential to be very quick

The bike even came with a free Subaru. Nice.

:chuckle:

Downgrade for sure! I hated mine. It was the only car I ever had that I couldn't shift spiritedly for fear of stripping the teeth off the 1st or 2nd gear. My 300ZX took alot of abuse and I sold it to buy WRX and kicked myself for doing it. The mpg sucked, 3 transmissions, and engine replaed twice, so I sold it. "It's what makes a subaru a subaru", lol. Sorry not trying to burst your bubble, just giving a previous owners perspective. I'm also hard on my cars, as they are meant to be driven, so that's why I went back to a nissan :D Nice Sube though! I've always loved the wagon

The suby looks great. Can't beat em

Kinda ressurecting this thread....I guess....UPDATE. My subie now is Stage 1 on a Cobb AccessPort with a full 3" SRS Type-RE Catback. My Cobb catted DP is shipping to me right now :naughty:so I'll be at Stage 2 within the next month. I've also installed a Cobb RSB, SPT Short-Throw shifter, Grimmspeed AOS, Kenwood DDX418 touch screen receiver, RallyArmor Mudflaps, RallyArmor front skidplate, Subaru rear diff protector, and some yellow fog light bulbs ;). Heres a couple newer-ish pics:

Somedays I kinda miss the maxima....but then I take my rex on a forest service road and partake in some 4-wheel drifting :naughty:

Nice choice. The bike is a nice accessory...lol. I've always loved the WRX.

nice choice for a replacement...

Me likey. Was thinking of getting a impreza wagon too before settling on the max...subaru AWD is incredible, my wife has an Outback. That's a nice car man. I like it

Nice pickup. Never driven a Subaru unfortunately, but i have heard SOO much.

Subarus are the **** to drive, sadly the 2.5 engines and wrx tranny's are a known weak point. Hence so many die hard subie guys swap in jdm STI drivetrains in.

Thanks for all the positive comments. I like the people here on maxima.org better than the people on nasioc.com (north american subaru impreza owners club). Everybody here is more positive.
Anyway, here are a couple new pics actually, I did some stuff this weekend :)
Made a DIY Front Lip out of Garage Door Sealer & I plasti-dipped my rims matte black

Due, those rims look sick. And you did it right - good looking rims but keeping decent tires on there to make use of the AWD. So many kids up here throw street only rims/tires on their lowered WRX'es and it's like you dum-dum, you've got AWD, use it right!

Well done.
