id save a few hundred more and get something good, like an intake or rear sway bar or even a strut bar if you want to buy something quickly.

You should definitely buy a case of crown air fresheners for the dash. You'll add an extra 10hp for each crown!!

Ouch, it's scary to think that I am spending around 100 dollars for 2 tanks of gas. I just shrug it off as $45 here and $45 there. I'm going to think of your post next time I think about going for a joy ride, or downshifting to 4th on the highway to show that damn civic who is boss.

spend $30 and get your B-pipe resonator taken out, little bit louder and more growl from 2,000rpm+.

save 30 more dollars and get the Rear Sway Bar. I just put mine in and it really does make the car feel a lot better.


Its one of those things I think should have come on the max from the factory, along with the FSTB, subframe connectors and better tires.

the maxima is a sedan and the majority of the people that buy maximas wouldnt buy them if they handled the way us enthusiasts like them to. you have to consider the market that nissan makes the maxima for

+1 for gas.
+2 for TINT.
-10 for tintS. you loose points if you have multiple tints! only ricers have tints. eather because they can't spell, or can't peel the old film off, before putting new film on.

One full tank of premium, then drive it around and have fun with it until the gas is gone, then fill it up again and buy a bar of candy with the rest of the money.
