| Since most are talking about maintenance... the car I brought was in rather bad disrepair a few months ago... I recently replaced/installed: AGX Shocks ($450)
H&R Springs ($150)
KYB Shock Boots & Suspension Mounts ($147)
Front Lower Control Arms ($115)
Front LCA Bushings (Energy Suspension) ($34)
Front Sway Bar Endlinks ($30)
Front Sway Bar Bushings (ES) ($12)
Outer Tie Rod Ends ($19)
RAxle CV Axles (Both sides) ($250)
Progress Rear Sway Bar ($134)
Blehmco Stage II Front Tie Bar ($190)
Brakes (Slotted/Dimpled Rotors, Hawk HPS, Stainless Lines, Super Blue, Speed Bleeders) ($441)
Clutch (5.5 Gen Maxima Disc, Pressure Plate and Throw Out) ($200)
Knock Sensor ($72)
Rear Main Seal ($34)
Transaxle Seals (have to redo the drivers side) ($30)
Falken Hanabi Wheels (18x8.5") ($540)
Toyo Proxes 4 Tires (245/40/18 UHPAS) ($600)
Front Windshield ($147)
Intake ($98)
Short Throw Shifter ($20)
Oil & Filter Change ($26)
Mobil1 Synth Trans Fluid ($50)
1 Gallon Nissan Premix Antifreese ($15)
3 Gallons Distilled Water ($3) I'm sure I forgot a few things in that list that I'd already had on hand or just plain forgot... That's ~$3807 I dropped in like the last two months... Its a lot to drop on a "Maxima"... but I own it... so... and I still passed a few Zs on the track at MSR. So I feel it was worth it... Next on the list is a new exhaust (I blew out my resonator on the trip home, or at MSR... but the trip home killed it!), and I'm considering swapping in a 3.5L VQ from a newer Altima/Maxima for a little more OOMPH. =)
