Coils, Wheels, and lip would look pretty clean on it.

4k for an rb'ed 240? i would have to say that you made out pretty well. but hey, i think you've got more than enough motor for now. your turbo'd, so now it's time for coils. i doubt that car feels now spinning tires around some turns... i power over and i'm completely stock.

seriously, get some coils and nice tires.

you dont need performance quite yet. you have enough.i take it that much power on stock suspension is not as much fun as it would be with some coils

when you're looking at the pics in your photobucket album, just hover the pointer over the image. when the tags appear, just left click on the "img code" tag. it will automatically copy it and all you have to do is paste it into the post you're making.

cuz your the best!and that's why some day you'll be the mother of my kids !the car looks dissent but you need to address the handling of your car coilovers, sway bars, and stuff like that!

i agree, but besides handling, it needs a brake upgrade if it doesn't have better stuff already

I don't think so since maxima's and altima's are FWD. We need the splined holes in our rear hubs and the FWD's need the splined holes in their front hubs..and I don't think the spindles are the same for the hubs to bolt up. Trust me I've looked at 5 lug altimas in the junkyard hoping they would be the same but they look very different unfortunately.

Your car looks like it can use a few goodies to get a good stance goin but hey that is a start...and a clean rb'd hatch is a good start IMHO. A drop on some nice wheels would look clean

I think you can get the full Ichiba 5 lug conversion for around 600, kinda steep but it's brand new parts from a good company and you don't have to change your front spindles to use the s14 hubs.

If you're on a budget, you can get some nice used z32 hubs for the rear (around $75-100) and the ichiba's for the fronts (around $235) to keep the cost down a bit.
