Best part of the car. The Cefiro (=Maxima) was a heap of junk, a real cardigan car. Rustprone too, even without salted roads.

You don't want a RWD van with anything as heavy as a 1990 GM 3.8 V6 in it, take it from me, unless you don't mind running into a wall of understeer if you try to push it in the twisties. A Syncro may be able to overcome this with its FWD, but I doubt it.

Try the new Toyota 3.5 V6... most powerful by far in the class. But the EG33 still fits better tna any other six, and still packs a punch. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut ‚ Opinions stated are mine, not of the University of Otago "There is water at the bottom of the ocean" - Talking Heads
