So I also bought an I35...

Well I am still here on maxima.org! Don't post a whole lot but still check in and see what's going on. I still have my 96 and my wife is driving my 02. I have been eyeing the classifieds from time to time just to see if anything near by caught my eye and low and behold a very clean I35 came up not too far away.

Needless to say, I managed to bring home yet another A-chassis Nissan product! It needed a few things (exhaust, tires and to be cleaned up a bit) but it is in great shape inside and out and I am happy to own it. This really is a Maxima in high heels. Even though my 02 also has the Meridian package, its nice to have all the options! My passengers will be happy to know that there are heated seats in the rear!

Got everything fixed on it in a week and got it on the road not too long ago. I was holding off on pictures until I could get a lowered suspension on it. As many of you guys know, I like to keep my rides simple and tasteful. Suspension and tint will probably be as far as I go on this one. But I got some time this morning to get the drop squared away. So on with the pics!

Thanks, I have a set on my 02 Maxima. I think I'll roll these for a little while at least. I managed to equip this one with items I had 'in stock'. (Wheels, new exhaust, suspension)

Only cost of car and registration costs so far!

Haha, you are right, these wheels have gotten around to all of my cars!

4th gen is good, sadly for me though a new owner will be taking delivery of it tonight.

At least I know its going to a loving home.

Hey thanks Wally!

Do you still have your 4th gen? If not, what are you driving these days?

Still got the old girl. It's not worth much to sell it and smog issues have force it to stay in my procession as I need it registered in a certain part of California to pass it.

Currently I have 4 cars

Max
07 G35 sedan
98 T100
and 12 CX9 which my fiance drives. I have too many cars!!!!

hmmmm, maxima wheels would look tastier if they were the titanium ones ( hyper silver ) like i have. i think some nice volks would look really sweet, black 18's with a 4 inch lip and a stance ( rolled fenders ) but i know you don't want to mess with that.

Just picked up some new shoes for the i35. 18x8 +30 G35 Coupes with 235/40/18s.

Cleaned up the car and snapped a few pics. Let me know what you think!

Might be unrelated but this is where the Maxima and i35 sleep at night. Its turned out to work out very well for all my mods and maintenance. Engine swaps, suspension, exhaust, oil changes, tire rotations yada yada yada.

Also makes a nice little spot to watch the ball games and entertain guests.
