2007 to 2010 Sport Conversion

[terrell0884]

Hey Guys/Gals
I just did the conversion to my 2007 sedan and would like to know what # would I be in the US that have done this??? I know it may not be a big deal to some and to others it may stand out...but I just would like to know???


PICS COMING SOON!!!...haven't got the car back yet.

[SVTCOBRA]

Cool! Would love to see pics and know details of who, what, and how much!
Just north of you

[terrell0884]

My Boy have a shop in Raleigh, NC that's doing it. Auto Arts Inc...ask for Mike Miles 919.791.0040 and tell him Terrell sent you. I can tell you a cheaper way to go is ordering your parts...But he's a perfectionist and will have you looking right. and what do you mean by WHAT?

[SVTCOBRA]

sorry, what exactly did you convert.....assuming at least the front

[audtatious]

Externally you are talking about the front end and sport suspension? Bumper cover, lower fog lights, replacement headlights (and rewiring), and rims....stiffer springs, Akebono's. Otherwise there is the motor and auto transmission but I doubt you changed those.

[kmckis1029]

im confused? this is a visual thing? or you swapped engines too?

[terrell0884]

LMAO...I swappd front BUMPER COVER, LIGHTS, GRILLS...I have BC Coils on already SPC Arms...so to be 100% clear its only the outside front that was swapped...it wouldnt make sense to swap engine and transmission...lol

[audtatious]

Don't forget to upgrade the brakes. Tunerzstore.com sells a kit.

[kmckis1029]

interesting... cant wait to see the pictures.

i personally would of spent the money on ungrading the engine to be just as fast as the 2010 sport model...

[audtatious]

No, better to trade it in on a 2010 in that case. IMO

[terrell0884]

well dont we all have our opinions...lol and we are entitled to them. but we all spend our money on what and how we want to. so those who are into speed and engine upgrades will put their money into that...those that are into style and looks will spend there money on just that. with that being said i spent my money on what IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII wanted. And why would i trade my car for a 2010 and get 30k back in debt when my 07 is paid for...? DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO ME IMO . but ill check those brake kits out. THANKS

LOL!
It didn't make sense to me to put a GTR drivetrain in a Juke, but somebody did it!!!
So, I don't assume.....

Nobody has criticized anything you've done. You need to check your attitude at the door.

He sells it, I've installed it. Shoot him an email.

Somebody mentioned what they wouldve done so I replied if it wasnt you then you need not reply...simple. get out of your feelings it wasnt a comeback to show attitude but just to get back on topic...last i check this was my tread and it was about the count on conversions not what would anybody do if they...

[terrell0884]

I will email him. and do you know rather they are drilled or dippled or just the same setup as the 06 on the page?

Don't go posting a thread if you don't want opinions or comments on what others would do. Typing all in caps is yelling and uncalled for. If you want to get bent out of shape on what others comment on then maybe an online forum is not the right place for you?

You can get the rotors how you want. The last kit I was involved with had the slotted StopTech's.

[terrell0884]

Man that brake kit is beast...i want that s*** so damn bad...imma get it. next upgrade on my list

[audtatious]

The Akebono sport brakes do a good job. Night and day in comparison (I have a '07 sport sedan which didn't come with upgraded brakes and I have the '08 sport coupe which does). Well worth the money and something that can be done by one person.

[terrell0884]

yeah im sure its a great upgrade. i almost landed my hands on one...but my boy sold his b4 i gotin touch with him. I guess im going to have to pay full price for it now. and youre right the lil guid on the side of the page gave some pretty good directions on the swap

[audtatious]

While you don't have to really replace the brake fluid I would suggest doing it as you will want something better than factory if you ever do track the car. Upgrading to SS brake lines at the same time is the way to go. Brakes are one of my next updates (slotted rotors, SS lines and ATE SuperBlue fluid).

[terrell0884]

sweeeeet. so the lines that come with the kit are oem

[audtatious]

The non-sport brake lines work fine. Unless he has them packaged as a bundle the SS lines are separate. Give Mike a yell here via pm (RED_DET) or via the [email protected] email address. He can answer your questions concerning his kit.
