    New to forum long time Vmax Owner

    Good day all, Been around Maxes for a while. Had an '85 (OMG Fast!) a '95 (OMG Pretty!) and now a '99 Carbon. Love them... Currently, almost completely stock. Corbin seat and factory windscreen. No engine mods as far as I can tell. I did drill the stock exhaust since I commute in the SFBayArea.
