Hey Maxima guys and ladies. I hope you enjoy my site. Shadow "2" is still under the knife, she has a lot of growing to do until she is unique. I've devoted page 1 to all my modifications, and then pages 2 and 3 for pics, and page 4 will have track numbers and slips, as soon as I get a good picture of the time slips from the track at Englishtown, NJ. So far, my best time is just under 15sec, 14.98 @ 93.1 mph.
I have been disappointing my visitors by being too lazy to take my new pictures with the intake, the new bulbs, the sway bar and the pedals. I will do it this weekend, I promise. I will also find a way to get timeslips from Englishtown, especially with my hopefully MUCH improved times when i go this week after installing the Injen.
Definitely keep up with the site and my pics will be posted soon! thanks everyone.

"Cockpit"
Finally!! Installed the Momo Silver w/Black Challenger pedals. They look great, so as soon as I get the dead pedal I'll take some pics and you guys can all see what they look like.
Wheels/Tires
Put the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires on, 225/50/ZR17. Yes, I know that's the stock size, but I am waiting till my tires have to be replaced again before I upgrade to 18x8 or 8.5. These tires are AWESOME! Super grip, NO spinouts off the line, even if you punch the throttle. Grips and takes off, just like it should.
For anyone who is installing the Stillen Rear Sway Bar on their 2002 Maxima, you HAVE TO REMOVE the additional bracket attached to the trailing arm that is used to clamp the parking brake and ABS lines. You DO NOT need it because you can pass the lines through the sway bar brackets, and you have to be able to slide the brackets forward in order to clear the lateral link (located behind the center of the axle) with the bar. If anyone has any questions about this or any other installations I have done, definitely e-mail me. (max02_driver@yahoo.com)
Just a note, in case you are interested in the Injen, which I totally recommend (see below for pics and write-up), or other accessories, you'll want to visit www.ptuning.com. Their pricing is average, but they know their stuff, shipping is free, and returns should be a breeze if you have any problems.
Anything you guys need for wheels and/or tires, even if it's information you're looking for, go straight to www.tirerack.com. Those guys know their stuff and they know your car.
If you need cool stuff specifically for your MAX to make her stand out, definitely check out this website. The customer service is great and the prices are just right.

If any of you want to e-mail me with comments or suggestions, or if anyone has the lowdown on upcoming meets or events, I want to be in the loop!!! I'm at max02_driver@yahoo.com. ENJOY the pics I have so far!!!
