Welcome!

You got the fox marketing coupe on ebay?!?!?! Nice. Its about time they sold it... if you don't mind me asking how much did you end up paying? I saw the recent buy it now price at 25k. Judging by the pictures you didn't get the turbo?

If you remember it from the SEMA pics it had the turbo stickin out of the hood and they figured no one would want to buy it with it the turbo on so they took it off and put the stock hood back on and put the ride on ebay. The turbo kit is for sale though if anyone is interested in it.

Nice Car, since the Battery was moved you could install the first cold air intake on a Altima Coupe until you add the turbo

Welcome to NICO dude. I have the 3rd AC Turbo in the World I would say. <~~~~ VERY VERY HAPPY for that. Car looks real nice. Does it still have the same racing seats? They looked great.

VERY Slick car! To bad it is all "StocK" to you, you should get started on some mods, haha, just playing.

I'll check it out when I get home work doesn't like facebook for some reason something about no one do any work lol. Whose your friend????

Thanks for all the compliments the turbo will be going on probably the last week of June. I want to get used to driving a stick before I go that much power, I'm still getting a hang of the whole getting outta first gear thing without stalling

As far as the racing seats I opted not to get them since this will be a daily driver, and I wanted to be able to adjust recline with the power and have the heated seats. I may put them on for a show or if I ever go to the track. The intake now I was told is on order but will be going on when I put the turbo back on it comes in sooner I may go pick it up and put it on.

Warrenty wise pretty much anything thru Nissan is shot. I am fully sponsored by Turbochargers.com so that will help out abit if anything does happen.

with that free space in ur engine bay you could have someone fabricate a cold air intake for you. Obviously you would take a turbo over that but just a thought

I seen this car with the bumper off somewhere, the battery was moved down into the fender/bumper area, and it was swapped out with one of those "x-cap/dry cell" type batteries you see in those Canadian audio mags alot.

I was actually WATCHING this car on ebay..didnt it start at $48,000 ( i dont know the canadian denomination)?
