The Maxima is gone
It's thread is here: http://forums.finalgear.com/post-your-car/maxima-26771/
Basically, my father got a new car (A4 Avant) and offered to trade my car in and then I'd take his '98 Accord. It has ~207k miles on it, compared to the Nissan's ~197k, but the car is in much better condition - the Nissan is falling apart, whereas the Honda is pretty much flawless. So I took it! Its a 4-cyl auto with a mind-boggling 150hp but its got VTEC
There are a few things that I don't like about it, such as the really thin steering wheel rim and the general seating position, but overall I'm satisfied with the "trade". It'll hold me off till I find a clean Miata.
I'll post pics later but for now I'm drawing up a mod list:
-First things first - I'm cutting the springs this weekend. BlaRo, drop by if you want to help.
-"HONDA RACING" windshield banner is in the mail already
-A friend agreed to help me paint the hubcaps
-Yellow headlights, Lexus style
-Smoked taillights
-Custom exhaust tip - 4" baby!
-Tinted windows, of course
-Yellow (as opposed to stock orange) blinker fluid, to match the headlights
-Neon windshield washer nozzles
-Type-R badges
-Might get some JDM rims later on, we'll see
So yeah... I'll update this post with pics later on
edit: found an old pic. The Honda looks the same; the Nissan's trunk lid and plate have been fixed since this picture was taken (a good 2 years ago)
