Okay, now that I am starting to modify my car, I am not sure of the Roof Rack on it.

Here is my list so far.

I have SuperWhite headlights. I have clear corners with Superwhites behind em'. I have all my interior bulbs superwhite or blue.

I am going to have the 98 SE five spokes on my car by the next Import Challenge.

I may have the FSTB and a set of either Intrax or Eibach lowering springs (about 1.75-2 inches)

Is the Roof Rack something I want to keep? I go biking alot and it is really useful, and it keeps the cops away, but is it still worth it?

Guys, I want you to vote on this and I want a reason.

Should Dirksmoothe's 92 still have a rack at the next import challenge?

Just cause I want to see the only "lifted" Maxima in the western hemisphere. You could start a trend.

Thanks Matt.

Hmmmm...I can't vote on that one. Would it be hard to go biking without it? Perhaps a removable trunk rack (that doesn't scratch) would be better. Looks wise I think removing it is better, but if it part of you, then do what you think is best! There, could I be any less helpful??

okay, the final

I am taking the roof rack off, I am getting the SE rims and I may have a new set of eibach or intrax lowering springs! The car will finally be looking like I want it too!

Man I can't wait to see all the lowered Max's at the next meet! We're actually gonna have a large amount of modded Max's. Now that we got the suspension down, we need some HP increasing figures. Who's gonna be the first with an SC, Turbo, NOS? Huh. huh??

Heh... it will probably be awhile for me..

And then it will probably only be the JWT NOS kit.
My money is on Sam for the first FI 3rd gen. Unless me and him can get together and make the 4th gen SC or the TRD camry/solara SC fit!

What do ya say Sam????
hehehe Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

I dunno where I am going to find the time to work that.... My power goal this year is a 14.9, and I think I got it right now. So the rest of my time will be devoted to susp. and appearance. Maybe the turbo will be the project for next year. I DO have that spare engine so I can do some fabrication when I find some time.....

well.

This Saturday, barring any unforeseen backorder delay, I will be getting my suspension installed in Burien. After that little 3 hour deal, I will be available, you up for something?
