ok, so i've got my hands on a beater 97 maxima gle.

i want it to basically be our "fun to beat the crap outa" carbut, i do want it to be a 5speed. currently everything runs fine on this car accept for the transmission, the guy i bought it from said the drain bolt fell out of the transmission fluid pan and they tried to drive it anyway so .. its a little beat up.

i expect this to be quite the project.i want to:put in a 5speed trannymakeshift up a ram air intakemake my own straight pipes

basically rig up as much stuff as i can.

if anyone has any ideas lemme know.. no matter how far fetched

I'll take a picture of the ram-air intake that I put together.

Actually, if you want. I'll trade your stock air intake for the one I designed including the AEM dryflow.

I really like the intake I made and it works great and sounds great, but I need to sell the car and I have to get it smogged...blah blah blah.

Here's a pic. Sorry, it's kind of dusty. I'd send you everything from except for the MAF and hoses.

It sounds awesome!!! I just started her up and kind of miss driving her. My G35 is still screwed with stock intake and exhaust

Anyways, let me know.
