Mods:
- Eibach Pro-Kit Springs
- Front Strut Bar
- Stainless-steel Budget Exhaust Y-Pipe
- Unorthodox Racing Underdrive Pulley
- Cefiro Headlights
- Red/Clear Taillights
The bad stuff (no matter how small), here I am going to go over every little issue with the car so as to avoid any and all surprises aka this novel continues:
- About a year ago the trunk was keyed, here is a picture (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/idolsword/car-keying.jpg) of that.
- Both sides of the touch have needed some touch ups (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/idolsword/car-trunktouchup.jpg)
- The right front mudflap is broken (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/idolsword/car-mudflap.jpg), the yellow thing there is just a leaf
- One year I didn't get it Krowned and rust developed on the right front quarter panel (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/idolsword/car-rustquarterpanel.jpg), I did some work which seems to have stopped it, but in all likely hood it has just slowed it down.
- Tiny spots of rust starting to show up along the right front door sill (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/idolsword/car-doorstep.jpg)
- The armrest's hinge is broken and is currently held is place with 3m double sided tape, picture (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/idolsword/car-armrestbroken.jpg)
- A soldering iron touched the dash and left a small mark (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/idolsword/car-soldermark.jpg)
- The knob on the shifter has popped out, but is still fully usable (I've been holding it in with a rubber band lol) picture (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/idolsword/car-shifterout.jpg)
- The button for the heated seat on the passenger side is broken, needs a new spring.
E-Test Info:
- Car was subjected to E-Test this year and initially failed, over 500 dollars of work was put in (cost includes test/re-test/diagnosis/O2 Sensors etc) in the end it ended up passing all the tests expect one component, it got a conditional pass and I was told it would pass completely with a new cat (an after market will do the trick)
Safety Info:
- For safety the car will need a new e-brake line. May also need new front brake pads. Also I have gone to safety the car twice before and once the garage (Canadian Tire) had a problem with the after market headlights, the other garage didn't mind at all. If needed I will give you the number of that garage. Other than that safety not an issue.
Some interior shots (more info to follow)

Some extras and what not:
- Car will come with both a Sony deck (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/idolsword/car-deckout.jpg) and a ten disc changer (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/idolsword/car-changer.jpg)
- Two AC power converters have been installed one under the passanger seat (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/idolsword/car-passACpower.jpg) and one in the trunk (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/idolsword/car-trunkACpower.jpg)
PRICE
Well no doubt this is what a lot of you are most interested in, after some surfing of the web (Autotrader) the cheapest Maxima I could find of similar year and mileage was a 95 with 175600 KMs for $3995 (If you find something better I don't really want to know lol) but all this considered I am going to let this car go for $2000 I really think this is a great deal so I am going to be pretty firm on this. So again the is going for $2000 as is/OBO
