Yea, so I was the one posting about the sound coming from the rear.. well it turns out the brake pads were too big for the Max. I then realize it needs new belts in the front, bringing my total just over 400 bucks! I just bought the car on June 3rd, and I'm already throwing money into it which I could have put into mods.. I wish I would have brought the car to my mechanic first...

Anyone else have similar stories?

 

yes, i bought my car in the winter, and went cheap on the bolding tires - didnt replace them right away. the only time we had snow that winter, i bent both lower control arms.

 

Nah never, my battery died once but thats about it

 

4 blown maf sensors?

 

oh yea, 3 weeks after getting the car my rotors warped, went to midas, 375 for 4 rotors resurfaced, 2 new belts. one of those times where you really didnt have any options, i had to go to st louis the next day 350mi.

 

375 to resurfaced 4 rotors?!!!!

 

WTF were they doin, it doesnt take 7-8hrs to do that, you got jacked man. Takes no more then 20-30min eac, topps.

 

i know, highway robbery. i was in a hurry didnt have much choice, it was 4 resurfaced, 2 belts, took them the better part of 2.5-3 hours.
i usually try to do all my own work but i didnt have the time.

you live and you learn, i have about 2-3 grand in learning experiences since i started driving

 

I got a weird Taxi Cab sound coming from my right front wheel, that nissan thought was the strut. So it was just replaced yesterday, i picked it up today and i think it sounds worse. It goes back in next friday, i'm thinking it is the shock now but who knows.

Good thing for a warranty, $50 Deductible and i got a new strut.

Good luck with everything.
