    So i got a new car!

    I got it July 2nd. Sold my rolla for 5500 and used most of that as down on the new car
    Its a 2004 Sentra SE-R Spec-V
    Its fire red and mostly stock except for tint and my deck and sub and a torque damper to keep the power down and reduce torque steer.

    The car itself is a beast. Going from a auto 8th gen rolla to this is insane. Well i guess its about going from auto to stick and the car itself weighs like 200 pounts more but has a big ass altima engine in it.
    When i take of gently and am in first gear at 3000rpm , i can floor and it will skid all the way to redline and skid into 2nd and chirp into 3rd gear. I know the car isn't as fast as i think it is but its a big step up from the rolla.

    My plans to it for the next year or so is just put in the cold air i ordered and 5000k bi xenon HID's and yellow HID's for the fogs. Beside that all i need is 8 sets of tires lol
    4 winters
    and 4 new summer tires sometime next summer after winter is over

    The car itself is in good condition, just got it detailed and took most of the oxidation away from the bumpers. They were pretty faded. now its all good. Toyota build quality is better i can say that for sure lol. But i like it so far, fun as shit to drive!

    so here are the pics!

    Also...
    I have some stuff left over from the rolla
    00 rolla weapon r sercret intake
    Stock suspension, struts and springs with 45k on it
    and my Helios bixenon HID kit, 6000k color temp. HID's got lifetime warranty from Helios.

    Eventually i'm going to sell all these... if anyone is interested let me know i'll take pics or w/e and sell it

    i was looking at one of these the other day with a friend from germany. got to test drive it and i am pretty impressed by it. they also have really great after market support too.


    so that torque damper helps put more power to the wheels?

    ya. The motor moves soo much on this thing its nuts. Sure the worn out tires don't help much either, but once i put it on at least half the wheel hop went away

    14k flat out the door with the certified warranty. 35,100 miles when i bought it. Couple days after i bought it i brought it back to them because my alternator and radiator belt was squeeling along with warped rotors. So they replaced that and gave me new pads and resurfaced my rotors all for free :) gotta love that warranty

    Dealer was an ass. Never seen anyone lie so much. Sticker price was 14,999 before anything, 16200 out the door. Got it down to 14,000 and sales guy said he only makes 80 dollars in commissions. Such a lier.

    Pretty sweet ride. Not my style though. I knew someone who had one and it didn't impress me too much. hehe Plus I may be biased since I'm a Toyota guy.
