The Maxima

Between Feburary 1997 and March 1999 I had a 1997 Maxima that was my wife's but I modified it and raced it.  I will leave up the sections of the polished valve cover,and also show the K&N stillen  filter setup. plus a 2.25 mandreal bend exhaust which I welded up  myself.  The best I ever did at the drag strip was a 15.39 at 89.8 mph. Not bad for a automatic. My best 0-100 was 18.5 seconds 100-0 was 5 seconds so a 23.5 0-100-0 run. I sold it back in 99 to pay for # 2 kid.

A quick story. I used to go to the dragstrip in Sacramento every other Wensday or so for fun drags. I would write my index on the front windshield with shoe polish. Usually 15.4 or 15.5 depending on the night. ..........   Oh by the way this was my wifes car....  One day she came home from work after I had been racing the prior nite with a funny expression on her face. "Honey why was everyone revving their motor next to me at the stop lights?"  I had forgoten to wipe off my index of 15.4 and every teenager wanted to race her.

For details on my wagon click on the picture. Watch as I take it form a pull wagon to a 5 hp dirt tracker, to a slick tired version with a pull wagon behind it.

Okay I couldn't resist. I had to post a picture of Barney. This was a 1967  GMC 1/2 ton truck that I did a frame off resto on. It had a 327 TH350 Holly 650 headers and Glasspacks. It was loud as all get out but it was fun.

Drag racing plus pictures of my maxima

Since I used to live in Minnesota I must have had a sled.

After I sold the Maxima I bought a 1991 Buick Regal with a 3.8 V6. Now it would be a shame to leave that car stock wouldn't it? Go see what I did to make it faster

To see the plans for another version of a hot wagon go to Wagon Werks

08/01/01 new project. Since the wagon is finished. I bought a quadsport that needs work. Found a quadracer so sold this 10/01/01

10/01/01 Well The quad sport only lasted one month before I bought a 87 Suzuki quadracer 05/04/02 Well I found a bigger toy so I sold this.

03/17/03 I sell the FJ on Ebay and buy a big tour bike.

05/04/02 I found a 1986 FJ1200 that needs a little work pretty cheap. 0-60 2.8 yeah baby! 10.8 sec 1/4 155 mph top end

Since I sold the 5hp custom wagon I still need something fun to pull the kids in. So I built another wagon without a motor this time.
