Nissan Sentra build

[Kyle_Eagleton]

Make new thread. You'll attract more attention to people who have B5's, and you'll thus get better advice.

Looks like a nice car, sorry about your Sentra.

so update.. the head gasket went, replaced that/rebuilt the whole top end while I was at it. Now it burns oil like no ones business.. Its looking like a bad piston oil ring.. I've gone through 8qts in the 2 weeks since replacing the headgasket and what not. I don't really have time to mess with it anymore.. as this is my one and only car. So I'll be parting it out soon.. which sucks I already got the paint to do a full respray.. so RIP sentra.

but anyways

here's the replacement:

No problem, you're on the good way...

It's a Southpark thing...

IMO to make that paint colour work, you need to go wider wheels, slammed-er ride height, go with a matte coloured wheel, and get rid of the door guards.

Definitely has a ton of potential.

Looks good on the new wheels, imho. Need more pics though.

1.Get rid of the stickers.
2.Lil' bit more low.
3.Get fancy color.
4. ???
5.Profit.

thanks for the input man, I really appreciate it. Bear in mind this is my first car/ first time I've every worked on a car so it's been a learning process and its also early on in its build

#s 1&3 will go together in the near future. I need to replace both my bumpers and finish the body work on the rear quarter panel before though. Some of the stickers are hiding damage. Burgundy is the color in mind atm or a satin OD..

I'm still sorting out #2. I can cut about two inches off the back coilovers and drop it another 2" almost.. but I'm stuck on getting the front low. I've been looking into maybe making a riser for them..

thanks guys. its slowly getting there.

The sticker on the front bumper just about sums it all up.

A few people have mentioned it has potential, what suggestions do you guys have?
What would you suggest to make it less "meh"? I appreciate constructive criticism.

I have a vision, but I'm always open to input

This thing has potential

Got the new wheels on. Now I have a bit of wheel gap...



Plans: 10mm spacer in the back 5mm up front. Cut an inch off the rear coilovers so I can wind them down further. Remove height perch and lock perches from the front coilovers (leaving the spring perches) since It's spun all the way down. The .5in or so should get rid of the wheel gap I think, but 1in would be perfect though...

Im sure you've seen it but i'll leave this here, my good buddy seffer

I absolutely love his Sentra, I've seen a few of his threads on b15u. I wish he was willing to share what he did to drop his sentra more. I know his ksports are modified but I don't know with what. I'm assuming a shorter shock body or something of the sort..
