who cares. Thats a very general statement, and back when they first started boosting their cars there weren't as many BBK's, nor was there the emphasis on them then as there is now. I know Jaime had pads/rotors/lines for a long time, Dixit had his wilwood kit, blah blah blah. There will always be something better so some people are just happy with what they have.

I would spend less time worrying about FI maxima members brakes and more time worrying about people who have powerful motors in older muscle cars and such and dont tighten up the steering/suspension/brakes, or people putting lifts and huge tires on their trucks and leaving stock brakes, as those cars are much more dangerous.

edit: but yeah, it would be nice to see boosted guys using Jeff's brackets, for $40 its a excellent deal/setup IMHO. I dont think there is a better price/performance upgrade avaliable for these cars.

GA has a bunch of stuck-up *******s too though, so kinda ruins the whole nice-car thing if you tell them you think they've got a nice maxima and they look at you like "go to hell" or some ****....

Again thats a generalization, I've talked to a number of the GA maximas, almost all of them are/were boosted and they are awesome down to earth people. Hell most of them didn't care I was a 'lowly 3rd genner', we just had fun IM convos or post whoring at max-world back in the day. Dixit and I still talk even though he has moved on from maximas, granted I'm much busier than before but still.

Either way, back to my point.

GA still has the largest concentration of phat Maximas. Completeness is in the eye of the owner anyway. From the cars I've seen on the org, they're pretty damn complete to me.

I wish Oklahoma or Illinois/St. Louis had a decent Maxima scene. It is hard to come by around there.

I spend a lot of time in NY and used to go to all the huge meets. GA still has the highest concentration of badass Maximas on the org.

D@mn I miss Atlanta. I used to live in Nelly Farms on Spalding near Holcomb. But that was before I knew about any of this. How is the traffic? LOL

There really aren't many complete Maximas period. Complete is complete at a different point for everyone but the threshold into completeness is fairly close for all people.

we have a pretty decent crew in the chicago area. We can get 5-10 maxima's out for a track meet. We even have a few boosted guys, including me in a couple months

Who are you and Larrio talking about?

I don't know any of the boosted GA folks running stock wheels/tires or suspension.

As far as brakes go... what do you call stock? calipers? pads? rotor size?

And on a different discussion, larger piston calipers + stock master cylinder = mushy pedal.. no thanks.

Thanks deez

NYC definately has the biggest concentration of Maximas.. but thats about it.. most of them are stock or riced out.

But I have been noticing most of the boosted and sweetest Maximas have been coming out of the ATL area
