'01 sentra se vs 93 acura legend

[Mad_Maxima]

manual is the way to go, the control and fun you can have in one is so awesome

plus you cant do this in a automatic

[98BlackTransAm]

my cliche philosphy:

manuals impress high school kids, autos win races

don't ask me how i know this as well, but you can actually drive home after having a couple drinks.

I'm looking for a body kit for my sentra '01 and found this site http://www.autodirectsave.com/parts/...mp_Conversions
I'm thinking of ordering from this site. What do you guys think?

I think you should do what chiquae is doing and save your money to buy another car.

...im surprised this is brought back up...

but o well. if i must explain something to him i will....

no i wouln't trust that website. go for something more mainstream like extremedimentions, or nopionline, something of that sort.

besides, there really isnt any real good kits out. nothing like what the bomex kit did for the supra in F&F anyway. you have a couple options reguarding kits for your 01 b15 sentra. (car domain is going to hate me for linking all these damn photos....)

here is your options that dont look ricey at all:

the stock spec-v front bumper


great airflow design, perfect for intercooler or gille if you'd like

the r33 bumper


perfect for intercooler or grille as well

the stock front bumper with stillin grille inserts(can find on ebay both for about 50 or so)


the power package side skirts will do you just fine, as well as the power package rear bumper, as they are all the same. the power package wing will also do you fine.

PP side skirt


PP factory spoiler with rear bumper



if you want to do wheels, there really isn't much choice. you need 4 lugs, unless you upgrade from maxima's i believe to 5. im guessing you have the gxe, as you want a kit.

here is the whole wheel and tire write up, thanks to b15sentra.net
http://www.b15sentra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=99430

if you can find a lighter 16' rim that has a 4 lug and 114.3x4 offset that is lighter than 18lbs and less than 200 a wheel, let me know.

and of course to have the kit look right, you would need the proper lighting

headlights. grab the stock spec-v blackened ones like so.


taillights, you have two options : smoked stockies, stockies or the clear ones.
take your pic.

grab some black tints, and it will be looking pretty clean, not ricey, and get looks everywhere.

figured i might as well put this in a different post as well. the sentra isnt made to go fast, so unless you want to have to do some extensive modding to beat a ls-vtec, then you're stuck being slow basically.

unless you want to fork out about 3k for a sr20det swap or the sr20ve(nissan's k20a). sr20ve makes 200hp at crank i believe at 7800 redline or so.

and as far as the sentra is going, that miata got sold, so now im stuck waiting on 3 things.

1) new car if i get new job
or
2) grab a condo in fl while going to school.

think its going to be the condo, and grab the car in FL as wi cars see almost everything possible. expeccially the paint. once it snows, if someone urines in the snow, and the plower puts that snow into the street, its on the paint. someone's leaking oil or power steering or coolant, its in the snow, then onto the paint and underbody.

where did the snow thing come from, there isnt any here. plus you'll find it very easy to find a car here in florida, plenty of miatas if that is what you had your heart set on. But we could go car hunting to see what fits you the best, i like doing that its fun.

[Chiquae07]

its suppost to be Wi, for wisconsin. thats propobly where you got confused.

i have to agree as well though, car hunting is fun. its also funny to see how mad they become when you say that car they 'recommend' to you isn't the one you want to drive. its also funny when you test drive a number of cars, and don't like any of them.
