addictions...yes, I'm a maxaholic! How about you?

OK, who else seems to have this problem??? I told myself back in the fall, "no mods till spring". I also set plans to put springs/struts, a cat-cack, and maybe XM radio into my car come spring. Now, spring's right around the corner and I've realized something. I installed my springs, struts, RT cat, and an OBX cat-back. If that's not enough, I installed Sirius in my car today! I can't stop!!! Why is modding these cars so addictive???
also, what do I do to my car now?

mm new rotors look so sexy, and after that maybe look into some HIDs, assuming you don't have them yet.

Same with me.

I told the Nortwest guys back in December that I wouldn't be on the forum for awhile, wouldn't attend meets, and wasn't modding anymore.

Since then - S-AFC, Rotors, and 5spd Conversion (shortly).

And I've had all the NW Guys over to my place almost every weekend since January for parts meets, and I went to the big NWNissans.com meet.....

:sigh:

Even worse, I bought my gf an engagement ring a month ago, and still haven't proposed because I've had meets every weekend.

I know - it's sad.

Mtrai760 and the other NW guys say I'm not allowed to mod anymore until I propose to the gf....

It was like an intervention or something.

you answered your own question, brakes, a brembo big brake kit sounds sufficient. it'd at least put enough of a dent in your wallet that you wouldn't buy mods for awhile

well im pretty sure this is how a psychologist would diagnose the problem: "ur problem is that u possess this love for ur car and feel it should be made better. of course this is displaced love as u can tell by the people who do not understand this addiction dare I say. I must really congratulate u for displacing their needs for a car (in a sarcastic tone) Either it is this or u're escaping a problem by finding sanctuary in modding ur car.

u say, "I can't help help it. I'm addicted to Maximas."

he says," Oh! u drive a Maxima! Then it's completely understandable that u love that great car!"
