NOT your Mom's Versa

[pingpongprince]

It's with great honor that I say "hello" to all you other Versa owners! I feel a warm kinship every time I pass a V on the road.

Here are some old and more recent photos of my bebe. Inside the cabin is an old school "8 ball" shifter in yellow with black gear-shift symbols from SickSpeed. Sound system includes an 800 watt amp under the passenger's seat and a dual 12" Rockford Fosgate sub in the trunk + 6" Kenwoods up front It makes nice boom boom.

I will be installing the DC cat back system and Eibach springs to compliment my NISMO CAI and strut bars, i'm ready for some serious vroomage

I'm thinking about installing Stillen's "dual wing" spoiler, you guys know the one (available at Versa Speed)? It's kind of low-profile but sporty. I'm thinking of keeping it black and coating it with a clear coat or something like that to brighten and preserve the color. To finish the "look" of my ride, i'm going to install this matte black racing stripe, thoughts? http://www.autotrimdesign.net/detail_AT ... _7212.html# I think it'll look very cool with the black grill and wheels.

For my wheels I removed the grandpa-hub caps (no offense to those that have them, just being silly) and painted the rims with a jet black engine enamel then installed rounded, black nuts. I'm going for that blacked out, rugged look (also don't want to spend $$ on rims, lol). Grill is an unpainted C-mod grill. Love it.

Blacked out signal and reverse lights were done by a local guy, very happy with his work! Black bumper guard + black racing stripe (as mentioned) on the way

Hope you guys like my Versa, i'm really, really stoked to have found this forum!

Cheers, David

p.s., If you live in the Los Angeles area please shoot me a PM and say "HI!" I'll be installing my cat back/springs (may need help) soon and would enjoy to meet up with a fellow Versa enthusiast.

Here's some updated photos for anyone 's interested. I've added some new mods since the last post and my Versa is flying and sounding real nice I'll be making a fun iMovie video with some snapshots and freeway driving for anyone curious how the DC cat back + CAI sounds and perform.

Quick (re) introduction, my name is David, 31 years old. I'm a graduate student at the University of Southern California (moved from Santa Cruz, CA) where i'll earn my masters in (clinical) social work. I play table tennis for USC and have a cat named Trixie Louise Kiddo. Seriously shoot me a message if you live in L.A and would like to meet up and cruise some time!

My V's current modifications:
*AEM Cold Air intake
*DC cat-back exhaust
*DC front strut bar
* Ultra Racing rear strut tower bar
* Eibach Pro kit lowering springs (SO nice)
* Sickspeed old school 6-speed shifter
*OEM Nissan window guards
* NST aluminum crank pulley (notice it in the highs and while accelerating from 0)
*Stereo stuff (removed woofers due to wanting reduced weight)
* C-Mod Grill w' blacked out emblem and blacked out reverse/signal lights
