My 2002 Nissan Maxima GLE before anything really done to it.
She's got 42,000 miles on her and drives like a brand new car! Don't have much done. 215/60/17 Continental tires for the winter, but waitin for spring to put on the 225/45/ZR17 sport conti's! Can't wait... It's got a full alpine system (cda-9886 head unit, Type-R speakers, Type-R sub) and integrated the Bose sub. Aftermarket HID fog lights (10,000K) and 6000K low beams, planning on switchin the high beams over as well. Just waitin for some more money to actually get somethin done!
(Bethpage St Park)
Rewired the fogs...its just necessary with the HID conversion
Just detailed...can't really tell but she looked gorgeous afterwards
Alpine 9886, awesome stereo (gotta love the USB!)
-8/4/09 - H&R springs, Tokico Illumina Struts (front for now)
Just put in new H&R springs and Illuminas in the front and the car rides SO MUCH better! Found out I had two blown struts in the front. Putting in the new springs and struts made the car feel like a whole new car. Much tighter handling, doesn't feel like a boat when turning haha. Just ordered new Illumina struts for the rear, hopefully installing sometime next week!
-8/27/09 - Rear H&R springs/Tokico Illumina Struts
Finally got my rear struts! Backordered forever and it sucked. Put them in today during my lunch break at work (very easy to install, btw). Car rides incredible! This is compared to having two blown front struts and weak rear springs/struts. Car doesn't hop anymore when hitting a bump turning, and rides very solid. The H&R springs are a mild drop and the Illuminas do a great job of keeping it all under control. Cornering, bump handling and overall control is incredible! The new suspension setup and the 225/45/ZR17 ContisportContacts make driving the car really fun.
9/3/09 - Injen CAI
Bought a used Injen CAI to replace the boring cone filter I had just sitting there. Cool intake, but there's better out there. I'm not really seeing where the air gets to the filter, but hey it's cool for now. Did notice a little better pickup while on the highway, and low end feels a little better, but it's probably all mental (after all, noise = power) haha. Might end up selling it to a friend, but it's too early to tell. But for what I paid, I can't complain!
