This car just makes you want to Hoon. Straight piping all over the place.

Its only really loud when your high in the rpms, but it will backfire a bit on decell which is really fun lol I try not to beat on it tho I want this motor to last until I have everything I need for a swap.

[sketchy_sentra]

Long time no talky. Haven't really had anything going on worth posting about, for the time being my car is F***ing dialed. Ive put a few hundred miles on it and it handles like a dream, and I hardly ever scrape which surprised me. I do have more planned for this thing to get it lower, but for the time being its staying how it is, at least till the weather warms up.

My buddy with the GTI got his wheels on tho so of course we had to go take pictures. Were still gunna have to adjust his ride height, but already the wheels make his car look so much less haggard lol


lolol no hard feelings mmmmmkayy


and a shitty little edit.


Super pumped for show season now, I hope I actually get out to some meets this summer and get to meet some cool people!

[sketchy_sentra]

Long time me no touchy car. But did a few things the other day that i guess are worth posting.

Added a 20mm spacer to the rear, on top of the 15mm ones already on, for a total of 35mm of spacer lol


And i finally got around to painting the roof black.


Thats all for now, I have to go thru emmisions and re-register the car in march, so after that is done ill start doing more to it. Also the cold is very un-motivational. I dont think thats a word.

Spacers on spacers on spacers. What swap do you have planned??
Sr20?

[sketchy_sentra]

Probably an SR yes, i got one for free a few weeks ago but it seemed like the head was oil starved so its a no good lol I have dreams about putting a VR6 into it, because its never been done and i know would be possible, and i love VR's. bt an SR swap would be the easiest/cheapest. No where near as many scene points though haha

The SR i got for free, it was being used as weight in the trunk of a BMW a friend of mine bought.

haha, a good ol b13 huh... damn this took me back to the good old days haha. my youth as a teen was spent on these damn little things haha. had oh so many of them, learned so many things on them. my last one was years ago. man i sure wish i still had my NA monster, SR20VE with a bunch of real goodies putting down 210 whp. that thing was a beast! That VVL pop is the best! I recommend it!

Picture bump. just some cell phone pics. uhh, yeah.

A friend of mines E30



and then the next day, back to snowy New England bullshit lol gotta love it

[sketchy_sentra]

So I did some shit ive been saying i was going to do for a while now. And some other stuff that was unplanned. I dont have any good quality pics, but here's an update.

Found some nice rust on one of my wheel wells, cut it out and had a nice sized vent.


I didnt really car how this repair looked as eventually im going to redo the whole bay, so this came out looking like shit, but the hole is gone and thats all i wanted for now.


my lower radiator mount was pretty rusted out, so i made a new one.




then i moved on to raising the motor for more pan/trans clearance. I went with a 1.5in raise.



these later got tabs welded on the sides to box them in, just dont have a pic of that.


other side



I dont have any pics of what i did for the rear mount but its basically the same as the one above, just welded tabs on to extend the mount points. this is under my pan now, it used to rest on the skid plate


as you can see my bay was super gross from having a bad front main seal a while back, so i cleaned that and went on some cruises. put 200+ miles on it, on and off the highway and nothing broke so i think theyre gunna hold lol

[sketchy_sentra]

LONG TIME NO SEE! Things have been well, car is still rusted, and still rolling! F**K YEA!

Fairly action packed update coming so hold onto yer seats! Finished up extending my front LCA's today, but that little bit will come later. First here's some pics I got recently to start things off.

Went and got some pics at a few spots with my friend with the GTI ive posted about before:


Not even low lol






Then I got a new camera, nothing special, but an upgrade from my 2001 model Sony Cyber-shot I had been using. Went from 4 mega pixels to 16! So I guess these next pictures are what 12 more mega pixels will get ya.







Also, my new camera actually records some somewhat decent video, so while I was at that spot above, I made a little video just to mess around with some editing stuff. Haven't really done much of this sorta thing so its not that great, but its something i hope to improve upon.

Link to that video here:https://youtu.be/vMqHUcuzdnA

Now onto the extended control arms I mentioned. I didnt get any pictures of the process as my hands were greasy and i was trying to handle the camera as little as possible, but i did make a video of the whole process. And if you want you can check that out here:https://youtu.be/jDXxA7sALS4

And then heres just a few shots of the car back out on the road with the extended arms.

Bumping from the dead! New things happened. composing update. Preview pic will follow.

May 2016:

wasnt happy with my uneven ass rear flares, so I decided to try and redo them. Dont have any pictures of the process but I did make a video explaining how I made them. Ill try and embed that below, otherwise follow the link here: https://youtu.be/WOsxs9HOHPo



And heres some pics:




Was having overheating issues ever since raising the engine, so did a few things to make sure id fix that issue. Tried replacing the thermostat, and when that didnt fix it, I did all this:

Took out the stock hood latching mechanism, cut the upper radiator mount, raised and tilted the radiator. In theory allowing air to not only pass thru the radiator but for some to flow up and over thus cooling the engine bay even more when at speed. In theory.




Along with that, I replaced the water pump, and removed the thermostat completely. Haven't had an issue since.


Changed around my interior a bit.




Started rusting the flares.




Then at the end of the month I made another video, this time doing a full walk around of the car and going over whats been done. Again I will try to embed that video below, Otherwise you can follow the link here: https://youtu.be/Q2tYGsE5QnQ

June 2016

Things were uneventful at the beginning of the month with my car, I mostly just worked on the El Camino that ive showed here before, got that running, and I thought that would be the end of car stuff for me this month. End it on a high note so to speak. Nope. The sentra decided to throw another fit, and not start for me one day. Once I was able to tow it home, I figured out that the starter wasnt getting a signal, so I hot wired a switch to to sucker and called it fixed. In fixing that, made me feel more confident in my wiring skillz, so figured why not tackle extending and tucking some of the wires on in the bay. I made a video of that, and also have some low res celly pics. Its nothing special but im happy with how much just that cleaned up the bay.








Then two weeks ago, I noticed my front tires were a few miles away from total bad news bear zones. Aka treads showing. And being broke as per usual, decided to flip them some bitches my self. I made a video of that also, and while I intended it to be somewhat in formative. It moreless is just me getting pissed off and sometimes, maybe giving a tip on how to do it a certain way. No pictures but the thumbnail says it all.




And to cap the month off, had a fun day at a lake with some friends, and got some cool shots of the car in front of the sunset. Also theres a drive-by at the end if anyone is curious what the car sounds like.






Bonus un-related shot of the lows


And a happy late Fourth Of July!

Sweet Sentra, my first car was a b12 Sentra. Loved it but always wanted one of these. I'd love to get another b12 but wagon & go all out no fucks given like this or maybe Bōsōzoku style.

Good shit dude, I love it
