Announcing Project ActiveTuning Version 3 - 03 Altima

Post by **Dave@ActiveTuning** » Wed Jul 23, 2003 8:18 am

Yes, it's my car

We'll be using it as a project car for ActiveTuning and documented each step along the way. This first issue catches everybody up with the performance/suspension parts of the car. You can check out the article here:

Don't forget, you can also read P.A.T. Version 1, which is a project 2002 Altima here. We're currently working on a new issue that will be complimenting the stock sound system.

Dave,Nice ride. Its good to see a fellow owner with a classy ride. Care to stick around and answer some questions for the members on the board? Not sure what your experience with Altimas are, but we are always looking for people who will engage in conversation/debate about Altimas and Nissans. Welcome to the boards and if there is anything that you need, let me know.

Yeah, you can order it at ActiveTuning.com (although we pulled it off temporarily, will be back in about 2 weeks). Where are you worried about bugs getting stuck? In the mesh? If you just make sure to wipe down the mesh (or just wash your car frequently) you will have no problems...it's like any other grille on your car.

Dave, nice ride, I've seen you on altimas.net.

If they get the side mirror covers going, I could be really interested. My driver's side mirror cover is broken and needs replaced.bud

how did u break that thing? i smacked a maxima with mine at like 15mph and left without a scratch

I was backing out of the car port this winter. As I passed the 4X4 pole the side mirror cover popped off. I know have body damage on my passanger side due to my wheel collapsing. As Repoman calls it "Catestrophic Wheel Failure."

Bud told me the entire story, Sad to see aftermarket rims broken.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Wed Jul 23, 2003 8:18 am

would u mind passing that story along to me? what type of wheels were htey, and did he hit a pot hole or something?

Post by **Cold_Zero** » Wed Jul 23, 2003 8:18 am

It was an Enkei RSF-2. My wife was driving down Fall Creek Blvd in Indianapolis and hit bump. I drive this road every day to work and there is nothing on this road that needs to be avoided while you are driving. She heard the sound of metal clanging in the wheel well and immediatly turned of onto the sholder. 3 pieces of the wheel broke off and flew out of the wheel well. She is very lucky that the wheel stayed on the axl and she could turn off the road. Here are some pictures of the wheel. http://www.nicoclub.com/forums...31120

damn bro, good thing she turned off immediately, smart woman, and thank god she's ok, cause that couldve been a disaster, and it was an enkei wheel, not a cheapo off brand, that what gets me, did u ever get a replacement for it or money back from enkei?
