2002 Nissan Maxima:NICOclub Ride of the Month | Fezzik

December 10, 2009 by admin

 

 


2002 Nissan Maxima SE owned by David Honey (Fezzik)

I acquired my maxima on ebay from a dealer who only sold chevy’s.  The car only had 25000 miles on it. The car was a trade in from a lady who had twins and got a SUV.  I could not pass up the deal so I got another loan and bought this car.  Well now I had a 2000 Maxima and a 2002 Max.  What was amazing was the car was a 6-speed. I’ll never own an automatic again. I love this car.  I’ve done a lot to this car, but keeping it naturally aspirated is my main key.  The best modification I feel I’ve done to the car is add the Cattman headers. It’s a completely different car with these on.  All that is left is to work on my air fuel ratio which will come in time after I get a wideband.  After all this, I’ll move to FI, but that will come a bit later.

I keep my car detailed as much as possible. I’m pretty anal about it and my friends will even say so.  They laugh at me as I clean the wheel wells.  But hey, the car has to look good. I use Zaino for my polish on the car. I’ve done a lot of detailing and this stuff is by far the best.
