Yeah I put a Ford V8 emblem on there from a T-bird to piss off all of the V8 owners out there. It was shortly removed but I couldnt get the super glue crap off of the car.

Just curious, do you hear any clinging sound ever with your engine. Almost as if a screw is loose and knocking agianst something. I can't seem to find out what it is.

well with all the Ka24De motors, they all seem to have the timing chain rattle, its just something every Ka owner has to deal with

Do a search and youll see what im talking about.

hey vroom, where did you get your wheels from? I've been looking for some. Also, are they really expensive? I don't want to spend more than 200$ on them for my 1995 Altima. Thanks.

I bought those wheels with tires for $350 from a local guy when I owned the Altima. You may be able to find them cheaper or even more expensive. Check nissanclub dot com forums. That site is mainly for altimas and people are selling those 02-03 spec-v rims fairly often.

Very nice. You need to lower it to get rid of the wheel gap.
