My New Ride

My New Ride

Since I wrecked my corolla, I was looking for a bigger car with more power. My first option was a Camry to keep in the Toyota Family, but I coudlnt find one that i liked (all the options and still a decent price). So I started lookin at other cars and came across this 02 Altima. After getting the windows tinted, and detailing the car, here are the pictures!

























I know its not a Toyota, but I like it! Its got gobbs of power, fully loaded and its bigger than the corolla. Its just too bad im going back into debt over this car.

Once again, I can't see the pictures in Firefox. LOL Looking in IE now. haha

Clean Altima. Personally I would've gone with a Maxima over an Altima but either or, both are a step up from a Corolla. But it really is nice though. If I had one, I probably wouldn't do anything to it cuz they're nice as is...

How much was it? btw doesn't the Altima come as an optional SE-R version?

hmm didn't know the altima has a manual option.

I drove a Altima SE-R whos owned some guy I know.. It's really torquy, pretty fast but cornering is not great.

bleh

Mark .... WHY WHY .....LOL..... Nice ride .... Do you plan on lowering it and hooking it up ???

you should try to make that VIP style.

The Altima looks kind of bland to me. More so than the Camry. I wonder what you could do to make it a bit more aggressive? Maybe a lip kit and taillight covers. Taillight tinting is played out.

Yea....the possibilities could yield some pretty tight sh*t!

I dont know why, im sorry to say. but i think it has to do with the forums.

I never really looked at the maxima, it was this was what i was looking for in a car so i bought it. Im happy with it.

I got it out the door for 13k, they were asking 17k for it. I put down $2k and now im paying off the rest. And yeah, the altima SE-R for this generation started in 05.

Yep, The manual V6s are VERY hard to find. I was using every resource available. I was ready to get a Camry when I saw this baby on Autotrader. I called the dealership and told them I wanted to come take a look at it. I bougt it late on in the week. The car has TONS of power. Its a HUGE step up from the corolla. I havnt really pushed it around any corners yet, im still getting used to the car. This is gunna be my luxury car, Im gunna go pick up a $1000 beater 4cyl car for daily driving so i dont burn my wallet with the price of gas.

Nah, im gunna keep it as stock as possible. I put way too much money into the corolla and ill never see it again. I tinted the windows, I ordered an Injen CAI, ill be removing the resonators from the exhaust (to make it sound like an SE-R) and ill be getting the SE-R Tail lights for it. Suspension will stay stock unless something goes, then ill go aftermarket and lower it. No body work will be done to it though.

Whats VIP style?

There is alot more aftermarket support for this car, however like i already said, its gunna stay as stock as possible. Its hard resisting the urge to jump in and mod it, but I keep reminding myself that I dont wanna loose that much money again.

VIP style is taking a very nice car, putting 18"-20" wheels on it (not DUB, but just nice), making it as low as possible, extreme body kit, etc. Derived from gangster cars in Japan (Yakuza).

good job on the upgrade...

dont forget that VIP style, the wheels usually have a huuuuuge deep dish also
