Hi, im new to the forum

[chiken7]

Hi all, I've been crawing through the forum for past few days.
I'm a proud owner of 95 base model.
it's black.
The J came to our family with a really thrifty price tag three years ago with 140k.

Few days ago, I came across a set of 2003 G35 wheels on CL for $100 w/tires.
they're nice.
this was an unplanned impetus to do:

-castrol titanium oil/valvoline filter (used at the dealerships now)
-castrol transmax transmission fluid/OE filter
-both PCV valve clean (pita, it was fun at first)
-NGK plugs
-MAF sensor clean
-engine detailing
-ATE premium one front rotors (super cheap at partsgeek)/akebono pads.
-maguire clay/wax.

So I just wanted to update my maintenance, and nothing special.
I'll post pics soon.

None of your images work. Go back and delete anything after .jpg and use the "[img]" tag links.

thanks, jester.
yeah, i think the spoiler is a factory option for 95 models.

so I'm thinking about buying a new set of falkens.
the size for ones i have now is 235/50/17 all around.

Q: should i stick with the same size, or go with the staggered size?
would it matter?...noticealbly...?
