    Picked up teh Max 2day...drunken impressions

    Aight I got the Max around 6pm today... 99 SE Limited (whatever the fukk that means. Seems pretty regular to me.)

    I got it at wholesale cost... 99, 121K, 5K out the door. Blue w/gray interior, cold A/C, P/S, non-Bose stereo, yadder yadder.

    POWERTRAIN- The VQ is cool, it makes a good noise under grunt and makes nice torque. It runs really smooth too. The shift linkage is decent as is the clutch.

    RIDE/SUSPENSION- The suspension is cool...soaks up bumps w/o complaining too much. I think I'm still gonna lower it though, Tokico HP kit. They put me on big ass 225/55 tires though, we gotta work on that.

    INTERIOR- The interior's good. Spacious. My knee didn't hit the shifter from the passenger seat like the CB. It's pretty roomy. I'm kinda glad it doesn't have leather either, that shit gets hot. If I can find grey leather from an I30, if I have the money to waste I'll snag it. The stereo's pretty decent as well for the non-Bose system too. I'm debating what to do with it though.

    All in all it's decent. The dealer agreed to clear a CEL... it doesn't seem too bad though. As far as how itr compares to the H22A CB, it's butt slow, but A/C and P/S MORE than make up for the loss in speed. The CB is super fast in comparison, especially on the big cam. It doesn't handle that much worse than the CB though, which I'm surprised by because f the 1800's rear suspension. It should eb interesting with the Tokico HP kit. All in all though I'm happy... it should be a decent ride for the next year or so. I won't put that much money into it as I plan on getting something much ,much better next year.

      Damn dude, nice pick up . Those manual Maximas are hard to find.
      Always remember that only you can make your dreams a reality.

      Never forget that your style is all that matters when it comes to your ride, but be respectful to others who don't share your vision.

          my GF has a 2000 maxima. Its a nice car, but she def doesnt keep it very clean. moderately fast (faster than either of my cars), never tested the handling, but it definitely rides nicely, and it looks decent too. However thats the generation after yours. I like those too, a kid at my high school had one, always talked about how he was gonna turbo it. never did, that I know of, but theyre still nice cars.

          nice pickup.

            I fixed the damn shift cables today w/bruno2787... the shit shifted like my friend's S2000, I was pissed. If Honda comes out with a 2+2 RWD car in the future, maybe. Otherwise...NAWWWW, I want a 330i, just gotta fix my credit and get the down payment.

            I rode in a modded 97 Max once... I came away disappointed, and this was BEFORE I knew what the H was about. I think these cars just aren't fast. But whatevs...it should hold up for a year or so, so I'm happy. The anthracite SE Limited wheels are a nice touch too. I just gotta figure out how to connect my Ipod to the stereo and I'll be in business.

                            Why not... other than the comfort, that's about all they have going for them

                            They're Nissan Grand Prix's... I/H/E... 200WHP

                            And yea Shawn it does feel like a boat. It's comfy though, a nice change. The Accord was way more fun, but also way more brutal. I'm just glad this thing seems like it will start every day... that's my main concern.
