New and Proud member of the Stock VI club :)

well after years of chilling wit the 4th gens, i have finally made the move into the 5th gen club. Dam i had no idea how strong a healthy maxima is. I checked long and hard and it took a while but i finally found a car i was happy with. A stock 2k1 SE 5 speed sterling mist with frost interior (61k miles). Car's beautiful, haul's serious @ss and has a nice body on it, like a bad b*tch . Stock vs stock i can happily say the 5th gen sh*ts on the 4th in looks...might be another story when modified.

Car does feel bigger and heavier and sort of higher in the air but then again i am used to a dropped 4th gen. Car is pretty quiet and engine roars boy it sure does roar. Only issue car had was one of the hinges on the gas door was broken so door sits funny but its only held by two screws, i'll get a new one from nissan and make the car immaculate...yes i'm happy, almost as happy as i was when i was first introduced to boost...well half as happy but its been a while since joy has come in my life auto wise

pics will be coming soon and i'm going to take it slow this time partly cause i'm broke but mainly cause i dont want to mess anything up.

Future mods:

system
drop
STS


BACK LIKE COOKED CRACK!

Welcome to the club.

Things you might consider taking a look at:

1. Check your VIAS to make sure it is working properly.

2. God have mercy on your soul if the vehicle has the stock RE92s.

3. Check your cv boots for any leakage.
