  1. I am going to be at dragway 42 on saturday (provided my car does not break and the weather holds out).
  2. I'll give you a call tomorrow. I have at least 2 cans of seafoam where I can find them now.
  3. Yes, or at least they should be as that is the bolt pattern on the maxima.
  4. When I bought my Nissan Maxima it came with an extra set of rims with snow tires on them. I dont know what all they will fit, but if you think you can find use for them you can have them! FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tires are 215/60R15. Tires dont look too horrible, they could probably be used for a short time. The rims, dont look too bad, but have a little paint flaking on them, as you can see in the picture. http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x123/wannarace928/rims001.jpg
  5. I like mostly older music. Three dog night Led zepplin The beatles Pink floyd ELO Queen The doors Janis Joplin Bob Dylan David Bowie Bob Marley
  6. There are a ton of bats around here. If you go outside just before its completely dark you can usually spot a bunch of them flying around. First time I saw them I thought they where birds, then I got a better look.
  7. I recently traded cars with someone and the woman at the title agency said to put 0 since no $ where paid for the car. It never hurts to ask though, your area may be different.
  8. Yes it is the front engine V8, transmission sits in the rear for 50/50 weight distribution, battery sits in the trunk on top of the transmission.... its an interesting setup. What kind of stuff? I know a few people around that have done superchargers, but they are very pricy. The water pump is bolted to the front center of the engine. It has a non-interfering engine, so you have to take off the timing belt and stuff to get to the water pump. But its not too bad. The parts are quite expensive for it, and I have a really hard time finding anyone willing to work on it. Most shops wont even do an oil change, let alone fix something thats broken..., but so far its very easy to work on, they used very good quality parts so it comes apart easy, but its a good size engine and definately a 2 man job to take it out and put it back together.
  9. I have heard quite a few risky business jokes since I bought this car. I had to finally watch the movie so i knew what everyone was talking about. Its a very very fun car when its running. :burn:

    Any chef's?

    I really like the cuisinart brand stainless steel pots and pans for everyday cooking. I also have a really nice cast iron skillet that I use for just about everything. I have learned, it is sometimes better to buy a couple individual pots than to buy a whole set, if you buy the ones you want based on what you will be cooking most, you wont end up with a few pots you will not use or ever need and not have space for.
  11. I was driving out by bellefountaine when the lower radiator hose broke, I duct taped the hose, and left the rad. cap open and drove it home. It turned out though that the thermostat had broken and by me driving it home, it had gotten so hot it broke the water pump and some other hoses and gaskets. I had taken it to a shop and they said it had also broken the heater core, but I dont believe it because there was no coolant leaking into the car. I think what they saw was fluid leaking from the hose in the back and assumed it was the heater core... plus they did not want to work on the car.. We took the engine out to rebuild it with all new seals and to make sure nothing else was damaged, which everything was fine. As of right now the pistons are all back in, the crank is sealed into place, and one of the heads is back on. Thats as far as we have gotten with it.......

  13. Well lets see, I have a Teal SVX, it has 174k miles, I had a different engine installed, prior to the install I had it rebuilt with new seals, water pump, TBelt, plugs and all that good stuff.... It has a 4.44 transmission, so she has some extra power, and the exhaust is grossly loud right now,it has a cheap magnaflow muffler on it... sounds like a ricer :barf: My maxima is a 5spd SE, Tokiko Illumina Adjustable Shocks and Tein Luxury Master springs, 17" rims, new clutch & flywheel... it is not at all fast compaired to the other 2 cars... but I still like it. My 82 Porsche 928 is a work in progress, It was my daily driver until the thermostat stuck closed... right now the engine is on a stand in the process of being put back together, but have so far been unsuccessful in finding someone to stick with helping get it back together.... its probably pretty easy to put it back together, but I am a newbie at engine work and want to make sure its done right...
