New to the forum!

Hello! I'm just saying hi and presenting my new Tiida 2009 (I'm from Panama)...

Right now it doesn't have any mods yet, but I should definitely start with some rims ... I must say I love the new tail lights, so that's something I might not be changing...

Any tips, recomendations, assistance on starting with it and taking the best care of it would be really appreciated.

Welcome

personally i like the old taillights and the new headlights!i find the new taillights rather annoying and liked the simplicity if the full red ones!

I believe the whole 1.6l are only sedans limitation only alies to the North American market.

[grogman]

so what you are saying is tiida hbs can come with either engine?

Yes, only north america limits the 1.6 to the sedan.

Welcome to NICO, enjoy your stay with us! First things first, get your windows tinted, it's a good idea to keep the intense UV light out. Secondly, possibly lower it with some lowering springs. Thirdly, aftermarket rims are great, makes the V stand out more, 17" is a typical size people upgrade to.

Nice to meet you! Your English is quite good, I'm impressed! Good to see you enjoy your V very much.

Hey Pavel!! Welcome to the forum. Don't worry about spelling, let the other wack jobs in here worry about that. Hope your tiida is as you say and hoping you have great luck with it. Now take a banya and report to us about your travels.................

It's actually tinted already (can't tint them more because of transit regulations, they just want a reason for peeking into the vehicle )

And yes, it's a 1.6L HB Tiida/Versa... When you are going to buy one, they actually always start offering you the 1.6L version (in both HB/Sedan)... Upgrading to 1.8L, or even upgrading to just rims is too expensive for me ($2000 more as a minimum), well, the difference it's also because I was getting a special price for this one because I bought it in a Car Expo...

About lowering it, I'm not sure, see, the problem is that here in Panama, roads are not allways good friends with cars, because of wrong maintenance, and people with low cars just suffer everytime a new hole appears ... Maybe just a little bit? dunno... Hehe

it seems that in panama the same rules apply!

i desperatly want to lower my springs, but with the roads here, u can never know when a pothole appears! so i decided to stay on the safe side and keep it as it is.. with time (1 year) my tiida's springs settled down and its kinda lower now than before!

dont lower it man!

[iluvmyVersa08]

Welcome!I kind of like those tail lights, they are different! Looks great!

[Shad0wXCalibur]

I will agree that if your roads aren't great, don't lower it. I would never lower any of my vehicles in my area because of the rough roads here. As a matter of a fact, I like to fit the tallest tire possible to raise it up slightly.

[ADOversa]

Welcome to both of you!

Greetings! I as well as Spirit from Russia city of Ekaterinburg My name is KirillVery much for a long time I look through your forum Many interesting ideas on тюнингу (to improvement of the machine), thank for advice(councils)To read and I can write only through the translator so forgive if that

[Moghedian]

Keep 15" rims on there with a decent size tire and you can lower it with no problem.

[mdamatas]

Thank you all for your comments! I will be letting you know of any mods I might be adding, or added already...

[mdamatas]

Some recent pics... No, no mods yet hehe... I like the car brand new for a while, after a couple of months I might start with the rims (no budget for that right now neither, hehe)...



Apple sticker, as every MacAholic...

1002 Km, it's growing so fast The day after it had his first maintenance...

I do have question on this pic, can someone see the hole at the top-middle of the glovebox? What is that for? I noticed it while taking the pic, for me it looked like there is a part missing...

I feel like I'm showing a photo album from a baby... Haha...

[robj80]

not sure what the hole is for just wanted to say your car looks great. I absolutely love the new fronts and rears. I really hope nissan brings them to the states but I doubt it since we have those bulky 5mph bumpers.

Get some more pics of the interior please. Nissan always seems to change things for different markets. Especially in the interior.

[mdamatas]

Sure, I think there are no major changes in the interiors (no SL-like if you can notice The SL-like package is a lot expensier than the one I have)... Here there are:

white faced gauges, cover over the front cup holders (which I'm trying to buy), and cubby by the dimmer switch. Thanks for the pics!

[superskunk]

is there something wrong with your tire sensors? i kinda like the whiteface gauges...

[mdamatas]

Tire sensors? Is the question for me? If it is, I'm sorry I don't understand...

I think he thinks your TPMS(Tire Pressure Monitoring System) light is on. The TPMS lets you know when your tire pressure is too low. I don't think that's the TPMS light....

Love seeing the different versions of the same car.

madamates:I think the hole that you see in the glove box....maybe for a glove box light?Is that a five speed or six speed in your car?It looks like you have a "Sports Kit" on it...I like what they did with the kit in Panama.

Welcome madamates and spirt....enjoy the ride!

Oh, the lights were because I had the parking break and the lights on. Do all Versas have the TPMS? I haven't seen any info on that in the manual, will check again though...

Glove box light, it makes sence, it would be good to have one there... I have a 5 speed, it has been good for me till now (it is the first manual car I use since my driving classes 2 years ago...)

Sports Kit? Nice, how do I know that if I may ask?
