Don't count yourself out because of that. If you have good hidden mods (engine/drivetrain/suspension), post it up! People love sleepers.

Well, I guess I will give you some variety for wheels. I believe there is only one other person on these forums with the same wheels, and they got them because they liked mine so much

With a kit, wheels, and painted engine cover? ur joking right? no car on the Altima Coupe's forum compare's to Loop's car, oK, Dangeris comes in a close second , but those two are heads and shoulders ahead of the rest of us here... I'm not hating either B-more coupe's car looks good, but its pretty basic... Loop and Dangeris are playing in a different league! And since Dangeris isn't in the running, how can you argue against Loop's car? As a matter of fact, Loop's car is the only one that I've seen get a stamp of approval from Greg himself!

I agree 100% that Loop and Dangeris' cars are in a league above mine. And I am not upset by that. You're "basic" comment was pretty much my intention. I am not trying to build a show car like the other two mentioned above have. I just wanted to build a daily driver that looked better than a stock A/C with a few limited performance mods. I just posted pics for fun.

Thank you to everyone who complimented me, but if Loop enters, he would have my vote too.

^^^^ lol

B-more I love your car dude, it's what im eventually shooting for. The wheels on your coupe finallized my decision to get them

To be honest, I think there should be 2 catigories. Non-sponsered and sponsered.

not really fair to put them together when people gets loads of stuff for free. so my vote is...

sponsered-Loop

Non-sponsered- this is a little more tricky. I like....b-more, phenom, dangeris, ESP

I agree loop and dangeris are in their own category. I love both cars. I really want to see them in person.

I was just hoping that by posting pics people would say nice things about my car lol fishing for complements

I know if my car would look stock sitting next to either of those 2 cars.Bmore I love yours too so don't feel left out!! You were the reason I went and dropped the car immediately lol

Not letting this occasion pass me by!

Here are the best pics I have of my car:



old pics looking stock and shinny:http://forums.altimas.org/zerothread?id=330968

as of now I've did some major work on the car. Cracked open the transaxle and swapped the open diff for a Helical limited slip one from the sentra se-r specV. Installed Racingline y-pipe, prototyped their rear sway bar and their endlinks. Also prototyped their Short Throw shift kit and installed it on the transaxle.



here a very quick pictorial of the HLSD swap:

zer...57118

the car is now sitting on BC racing coilovers with 7kg/mm hard spring and 32 level adjustable dampers. I've put back the 17in rims (2008 exlusive rims) for the sleeper look with some 235 wide P-zeros.Just got my Pro driving liscence this summer (B grade)!

here's some pic of an even I did a while not long ago:

http://forums.altimas.org/zerothread?id=447380

small short bio for now:ask anyone here about me and they'll all tell you thatI have been here on the altima forums...FOREVER

hope to win! good luck everyone!

I know...lol i thought about removing them.Just so everyone knows, After those pics were taken he painted the carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber trunk black and just left some accents carbon fiber..

It didn't seem like I had a prayer of winning so I would be the "nice guy" and post the pics everyone was waiting for. I haven't heard from loop in forever so if he doesn't come I say the spoils go to the "nice guy" me lol

You are correct! That car has quite a few stickers on it anyway. If some of you guys would invest in a DSLR and take some good pics, you would be much better off.



Stuff like that has WAY too much noise in the picture.Compare that to the clarity of:

i agree, and I hope you understood my post.. I'm not hating on your car at all.. You, windhaven, and blacknwhite have sexy-sophisticated cars... IMO, the way the A/C should have come from factory... just enough exterior mods to really seperate it from stock cars, but nothing too crazy.

Dangeris and Loop have 100% show cars.. you look at them and you know they are show cars

Who's LOOP?!?! . . . . . .
who r u?

also, Dangeris and loop hav partial sponsors for their car, neither are 100% sponsored.. I know Loop has put a few grand of his own money into his car

anyway, I wasn't trying to stir things up, but you have to give credit where credit is due, and if we limit this to active forum members, and none mods, then IMO B-more coupe goes back up toward the top of the list... and looking at the previous ROTM, they don't particularly look like they are going after supermodded cars, so I think a number of guys on here with nice cameras have a good chance
