Can't blame the poor guy. He falls for everything

yeah i know bro...i'm going to get to that after i change my transmission. i wanna even out the front n rear so I WILL be doing that battery relocation. the only thing i'll keep as far as possibility of weight reduction is my spare. well i'm getting a full size spare and i'll keep that and my sub in the trunk. removing my seats (i think), guards and some other stuff...but when time comes i'll ask java and babyface. lol

I have a Competition clutch lightweight flywheel. The only difference I felt was in first gear and revving the car in neutral.

It's lightweight steel opposed to Fidanza's aluminum. And, I paid $250 shipped brand new.

Havent been on this thread for a while, so time for an update. In recent weeks, I've come to finally purchase and install my B&M short shifter (will have pix later). also, i have purchased my NWP spacers (waiting to receive, cant wait to install with MEVI!!!

), CF MEVI cover, and mudflaps.

I'll probably be putting a temporary halt to my mods after installing my MEVI, changing tranny mount, and axles. Guy backed out on the vLSD tranny deal, so i'll postpone that as well. As for after that, i'll be focusing on getting my traffic tickets sorted out and out of my record.

ALSO, I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A GREDDY EXHAUST!!! PREFERABLY AN SP1, SP2, OR A SPECTRUM ELITE (if they made one for our Maxima.) please let me know if you are selling one, willing to trade (i'll provide cash on top), or know someone who is selling one.

That is all.
