Altima Coupe 3.5

what painted black said is tru , you will meet alot of good people and friends through the tuner scene , will get alot of connections too , we all here to watch out for eachother , well tts is i cant speak for other clubs but u kno wat im sayin

Thanks guys, for the kind words!

It's good that you know where your focus lies with the car. You seem performance oriented, which will help you pick what to do first

You can get a very nice set of rims and rubber for under $1500 in most cases. I paid $1100 for mine, installed and balanced. Granted, they aren't going to win any prize for Best Rims, they do their job LOL I'd recommend contacting Rockstar Motorsports for your wheels (519-620-1882) They do top of the line stuff, for a very decent price. I am sure the guys on here can give you their contacts as well. Make sure you shop around lots - it never hurts!

In terms of a good shop to take the car to, I would recommend Streetwyze Customs in Burlington (streetwyzecustoms.com) I trust their tech - he knows his stuff and he's very thorough. Also, they have the right set up for working on lowered cars, which might help ya down the road! If you can't find anyone closer to home, it would be worth the trip. Good luck, and let me know how things go!

More than appreciative PB (D= i want my pb'n'J) - I'll definetly check out Streetwyze and Rockstar Motorsports. I'll drop em a line'n let them you ur spreading the word on their establishments

oh - and if anyone knows a good paint shop, i'd appreciate it aswell - I've checked out one place and the guy wanted 4 grand for a gunmetal gray paintjob -=/

i got tiny rust-spots i wanna get rid of aswell,

Or camera cars..

Totally in agreeance with PB on everything, its your car, and as long as you think it's the greatest thing on 4 wheels, who cares that the world is flat!


As the first thing I'm doing to my car is getting the windows tinted and fixing the front bumper.. Performance can wait, for now..

Yea, I have no problem at all with a camera car. Personally I'd love to slap on a nice white taffeta paint job on my car, take it down to Shinzo Werks and get them to whip up something nice fitting my current 'SubZero' theme =P

But bro, you have an Impreza , those babies come stock with beautiful performance and handling. (what model exactly?)

Plain Jane Impreza 2.5i Sport.

sunroof, heated seats, Sirius radio, 6cd were extra.. Other than that, stock.

Rims, rubber, lower, system = done
Anything else is a bonus.

=)

, sounds good =P

I had my car painted at PaintWerx in Shelburne (basically Orangeville.) I had the entire car repainted with House of Kolor product (including the ice glitter) and some airbrushing for less than 4k. Here's Derek's # 519-925-9703. I'm happy with the work that was done, so I'd recommend him. Here's what he airbrushed on my car, so you get an idea of the work he does...

Spy vs Spy! OMG!! +1000000
I had the NES game!! Childhood memories

lol, cool thanks - i'm bored atm, so i'm photoshopping an image of my car on how i'm imagining it as a finished visual product - with many decals and viynls improvised of course

i'll have her up in like 20mins

*rice edit* photoshop post removed

eh *rice edit*

i really need to learn how to use my photoshop... lol did you steal my rims? lol nice work

haha yea i stole ur rims lol (sorry), but thanks =P (They actually look decent on my eclipse now that i've stared at it for a while =/....)

What happened to MOAR LOWAAAAAAAA?!?!? ::

shhh, its all a part of the plan. =)

At the moment - im a kid in a candy store full of imaginative opportunities. I'mma find my right candy, then ima buy it =) - right now, im just browsing lol. Dayum metaphors are lame

those are some serious decals you want to put on the car! gonna be honest with you; please dont do anything "rice" to this car. art and stuff looks cool; dont get me wrong. just dont do a whole lot! has to look nice and clean at the end of the day. not just a bunch of decals stuck on. ;)

yea i know what u mean - for now i got crap loads of time on my hands lol, so i'm just picturing it. But as far as reality goes, when it comes to the visual aspect - i can only afford a window tint and probably smoked lens. The rest is already put aside for wheels, suspension and anything i can really do to ensure the health of my engine and transmission.

but it'd certainly be nice to do the decal work after my car is able to prove its worthy of showing off its colors =P

What he means here is that soon he'll be armed with ricer tickets.. =)

huh....i just opened up my hood to check on the fluids'n all that and check why a headlight wasn't working (burnt out)

and I opened the radiator cap....and there was all this brown shit on the inside of my radiator =/

anyone know what the heck it is? - it literrally looks like shit =/, i've never encountered this before -

^ might need a coolant flush by the sounds of it. take it to ur mechanic. if you dont have one. go to Malik @ KSL auto. he is the TTS mechanic. ;)

oh k sweet thanks - i've been lookin for a trustworthy mechanic - i appreciate it

oh and I was wondering where I could get the Tein SuperStreet coilover kit with the ummm whatchamacallit....pillow ball upper mount?

because....dayum....JRP online is offering it for $1932.74 .....lol - know where i can save some money?

One word: SLUDGE

Get your car over to the shop right now lol Get the cooling system flushed!!! You're likely making your internal seals very unhappy with what seems to be ancient coolant.

As for the artwork, talk to an artist and get a quote. I was originally going to do my exterior up too, but later settled on just the small stuff under the hood. Cleaner and easier to keep from damage!

Let us know what happens with the rad!

haha yehh, i will do just that. Radiator smells like fish and poo. =/

Yeh, I'll take er out to a shop as soon as I can. *shakes fist at poo like sludge.
