Sketchy B13 Sentra Build

Pls no. This car would look so awesome in Rainbow Flake Black with a massive duckbill, boser hood, and on the ground. But your car, and where I'm from the 4 door Sentra is called the Sunny.

I may paint the car one day, but it would be the very last thing the car would see. Also, living in New England, Its hard to make nice paint last on a daily driver. Thats one of the reasons i like rusting out the body of cars, not really anything can mess that up so you don't have to worry about it like you would a 1000$ paint job.

Then around august of this year, I decided I wasnt low enough. To go any lower without just removing the springs in the rear, some big changes had to be made. ( at least with the current setup I had which was no coilovers in the rear)

Also at some point I put that strut tower brace in, I was some very thick walled exhaust tubing I had lying around, i welded it in with the flange and all lol

cut out the rear speaker deck and everything on the towers.

raised the rear towers by an inch and a half
ddddddddddddd.jpg
started adding bracing
eeeeeeeeeeee.jpg

More bracing

Also decided to extend my rear LCA's by an inch and a quarter.
bbbbbbbb.jpg
when all was said and done I had alot more camber, and the rear was wider by two and a half inches.

i think you are doing nice and dirty with this thing, not giving a flying f*ck, subd.

That brings us to this point:

Had to widen the inner tubs now in some low spots. also you can see more bracing went in.

Thats basically the point, it was a cheap car, and not fast so im just having fun. Thanks man!

fersure brah fersure.

So that puts us pretty much up to date, up until about a month ago. I had some money saved up and wanted to put new suspension in the rear and finish the body and clear coat it before winter hits here in CT. Well when i pull it in the garage to do that I high centered myself like usual, and when I went back for a running start I ripped my brake lines under the car. And things snowballed from there lol

pulled off more paint
aaaaaa.jpg

700lbs per in springs for the front and rear
bbbbbb.jpg

new struts for the rear, used some cheap ebay sleeves to get the springs to seat right
cccccc.jpg

bought new rear LCA's and re-did the extending process. this time i only extended them by one inch, i took alot more time on them though and did them in a slightly different fashion than the first version. topped em off with full ES bushings in the rear.
ddddddd.jpg

got some junkyard goodies, also made a badgeless grille at one point.
eeeeeeee.jpg

[sketchy_sentra]

also got a manual seat belt from a B14 sentra to retro fit in.
aaaaaa.jpg

deleted all the A/C equipment, including the evaporator under the dash, and ran my brake and fuel lines through where the A/C lines went into the dash. I re connected the blower motor to the heater core with some dryer vent tubing, such racecar!

Heres how the lines sit under the hood
bbbbbbbb.jpg

then after looking for a while, I found a set of wheels that were not only local but in my price range.
ccccccc.jpg
dddddd.jpg

look at that gap in the rear now though, that has to go.
eeeeee.jpg

[Tate]

LOL. You have changed my mind. Put this shit on the floor.

[sketchy_sentra]

I failed to mention in the last post, the wheels are Enkei 92's, 15x8 et25 wrapped in Toyo Proxies 195/45.

started working on some flares for the rear, had a BBQ lid from some demo work over the summer just waiting for the right time.

Okay then! All up to date. I took the Enkeis back off the car for a few days to get the tires for the rears flipped, and new tires put on the fronts. And now today I put new tie rod ends in and put the fronts back on. Tomorrow im going to figure out a skid plate for the front, and then throw the rears on and finish up the flare on the drivers side. At that point ill be really close to driving it again, woot woot!

pics from the other day. Ill take more at the end of the day tomorrow.

haha good to hear. Im going to leave it with two inches or so of clearance underneath throughout the winter. And as the weather warms up start dropping it down some more. thats the plan anyways we'll see what happens

Your BBQ flares look amazingly good.
