1/23/05 - Just purchased a
'00 Sterling Mist GXE on my son's 11th birthday! VERY happy to go celebrate with him & his friends afterwards!
Here is the new ride people...
UPDATED 1/30/05 - OK, it's only a week later and I've dropped the chromey-thangs on it. I spent the whole day removing the system & wiring from SilverMax and decided that, since I was already filthy, to put the wheelyo's on to see how they look and feel. These are 18" MKW M12's with Dunlop Sport SP FM901 tires on them, with them new Gorilla locking lugs holding everything down...
I like what I see. What about you? I think I'm going to figure out how I want to configure the system over the next couple of weeks and decide on which way to go with it. For all you 5th Gen guys with sound systems & so on, I will be taking notes, so don't be surprised if I snatch up an idea here and there...
UPDATED 6-3-05: Purchased a Nismo radiator cap & oil cap.
I also shaved off the MAXIMA emblem and replaced it with a NISMO emblem and a chrome NISMO license plate frame. Also had the windows tinted light grey (didn't want issues with the authorities, yadig?) and have since bolted the 18's on for the summer months. Must say that I can't wait to swap the
Dunlop SP Sport FM901s, though - they're LOUD, they don't have a reinforced sidewall, which means handling sux, there was a hole in one of them that I had patched, and did I mention that they're LOUD???? I've decided on Toyo Proxes4 or those new NEXEN tires I keep hearing about for the next set, which will probably happen sometime next year, unless I get tired of these before too long...
Splashguards finally installed!
Stay tuned, more photos to come!
