Happy Birthday America!

I'm not positive I'd buy another MKIV; the new MKV is soooo much better. My brother is probably getting a new GLI, which makes me extremely jealous! :furious: If I were you I'd do a new GTI. It really would be worth the higher payment, they're that good. Especially with DSG. If you do a Benz, go old-school, like a 300E or 190E. Or an old-school BMW. Do EET!

Check the fuse? Just a random, uninformed piece of advice.

How many times a day do you squeal your tires? I'm probably more than 20...that's why I'm moving on to a car! Although for an SUV the Pathfinder is a good-handler, at least the Monoframe R50.

R50s are pretty damn safe trucks... The 1999.5+ got 5 out of 5 stars on the frontal impact tests. And if anybody here shoud roll his or her R50, it would be me with the way I drive. I also had an Xterra but only got it on two wheels. That was stupid.

Ahh, I miss my 2002 GTI 1.8T. Girls first thought it was a "cute" Golf, then sat in it and loved the black leather, moonroof, stickshift, and 3-spoke wheel, then once we got up to 130 they loved it! I miss that car so much, it was one of those cars that actually got me somewhere with wimmenz. Never been a fan of the 2.0 though. And FYI, there are no 2007 diesels, or what I've heard. Snap up an '06!

Did it come loose just because or is it rusty? There are some good performance options. rmd0311 or something had an '01 and he got an exhaust shop to fab up something. A search may turn up his setup.

My tranny doesn't grind anymore. It used to grind when quickly shifting from 3-4 but that's gone. Now the lever is really stiff in the mornings (when cold) and sometimes 1st is hard to get into from N (like at a red light). It may need Redline...

Didn't you have an E21? I have an E30 and an E28 out 1,500 miles from me at the grandparents place. The old M6 shark is one of my favorite cars ever! :o

Sorry, but it looks like crap. :oops: What would look killer is if you got a can of the VHT Niteshades paint and either smoked your tails, or put red over the amber.

I had the same problem. Loud squealing at startup for like 10 seconds, or until you redlined it to stop it. When you dropped to idle speed while driving when it's cold outside they would squeal too. The belts were too loose.

Kia failed and went bankrupt a long time ago, I want to say 1998. Hyundai took them over and basically now sells Hyundai cars under a Kia badge. With that said, it's not a bad car. A far cry from all of the other Kias. Tecciball, at least you got a deal on the G6. I still can't stand GM products. My next car may be an BMW E34 540i/6speed, maybe a BMW E36 328is if I can find a good one. It has to be a Bimmer. And the rest of my family are Bimmerheads, with the exception of Mom with her Murano.

I never cared for the rear beam axle in the Maxima...a larger rear sway bar helps handling, but enables a bit more oversteer. Not fun in a FWD car. We never had a problem with ours, what a great car. Ugly, but a great car that with a few mods really surprised people! Torque steer in those things is a real bitch. I also wore out the performance tires in about 8k miles!

You could convert it to a 99.5+ front end, or a QX4...

Even though I'm leaving, welcome to the boards!

Good call on the Revos, they're great tires! I hope to have an S2k within a year...I'm a BMW guy, about to pick up an E36 328is probably and look foward to Auto-Xing and tracking it.

That's a hell of a nice car. My favorite Maxima color too! Now you can look at all of the mods, like timing advance to 17 degrees, new NGK plugs make a difference, Ghetto Airbox mod, cat delete. Maxima.org is okay, a lot of ricers but it's a big forums. You do have to be a Contributing Member to search, however. We just sold our 2001 Sterling Mist GXE for $10,200.

As it turns out now I'll have to wait until after college to get a motorcycle...I'll have done the MSF stuff beforehand. I rode a Kawasaki Ninja 600R around the block and it felt great, that was my first time riding! I'm thinking Ducati Monster 620 as the bike of choice, but I want to ride the MSR bikes before I make a choice.

Sorry Venge! You can delete this thread if you wish, I just wanted the R50 people who don't normally browse the For Sale forum to see it. Thanks!

LOL It's posted from a very funny and childish forum where toilet humor is funny. Don't read too far into it. I don't fault it for anything, just the fact that it doesn't suit my needs very well. It gets groceries just fine, and the golf clubs fit great, but most of the time it's only me in the car, just seems like a waste. I take as best care of it that I can...I'm pretty obsessive over my vehicles. I won't ride like an asshat, I promise. I'm very careful and conservative. I respect the fact that a 250 Ninja is fast compared to most any vehicle. I'd still be keeping the Pathfinder, or at least something with four wheels. But with a bike I could ride on campus and get the Motorcycle parking spots, not to mention great gas mileage around town. You guys aren't giving me much credit, damn!

How can you blame me? It's a grocery-getter for me! It has balding all-seasons, stock suspension, etc. It's not a bad car at all, it just doesn't suit my needs. I rarely take a trip that's more than 5 miles anyways. And "Assfinder" is a positive term!
