Well I've been a member for a while now and I haven't posted any pics of my car yet. I know! But finally here she is: BEFORE Pics of when I first got my baby in August of 09. Got her for 1600 from Marlton New Jersey. Was a drift car for Team NISSAN Vineyard, NJ

IMAGE exhaust. Sounded loud and farty.

Interior was missing center vent. Ugly beat up shift boot with super light generic shift knob. Guess whoever drifted her, pieced her back together just in time to sell.

KA24DE. Idle pretty rough. Kind of misfiring. EGR was removed when I got her. Along with the many other things. But what can you expect, right?

Had a cow paint job on fenders. Basically white on the outside, and black paint underneath that.

Pink rims on. Don't even ask me. Tires had wires sticking out.

Didn't care what the problem was with her. When I first saw her That's right. I was in love. She is my first car ever. Drove her for like 2 and a half months with just my permit. We got acquainted very well and fairly quickly. NOW, fast forward to present day.

New paint job. Daytona blue.

Fixed her up very good as well. Too many things to name





Had to take off that fart can and replace it with an APEXI GT SPEC catback. Check it out.



And yes, she can keep up with the rest of the boys. Meet the crew!!







She has even gotten nicknames from many people already. "Papa Smurf and The Blue Angel." I simply came to know her as "Chuki."

Definitely not the look that I was going for. But it was in my budget range. It's much better than that black, white, and pink thing I had going on. I've got big plans and when they unfold I will post it.

Not my favorite color either. Will update when it changes. Thanks!

Wasn't a cell phone pic. But it was indeed a low quality camera. I have daytime pics coming soon. Just for your request!!
bersh240 wrote:i like it.what kind of paint is that? you do it yourself?
It's a Daytona Blue. Forgot the color code because it was like 7 characters long. Did the rims by myself. Rattle canned with Dupli-Color. Guess who did the paint? MAACO! 280 bucks!! BAM! IN YOUR FACE!!!!!!!

I personally live and base in Anne Arundel. Like 10 mins from Arundel Mills. My crew is all scattered throughout the Silver Spring area. If you live in these areas, chances are that you will see me on the road.

I hear ya. I will trust me. These are just temporary. To be honest, I kept them on because I didn't want to get some nice wheels then end up scuffing them up. These are for practice.

I love that color for some reason. Looks nice man. With some wheels it'll look great. I'm still trying to decide what color to paint mine.

Maybe it's your camera but that looks closer to sky blue than daytona blue. Still looks sick none the less.

Thanks for all the replies. Blue is the theme for this car. It's going to look a lot different soon. I will update once it undergoes some changes. Thanks for viewing and good luck to everybody's plans.

Digging the color,

a nice choice in good fitting wheels and and lower, and you will be able to say your 240's nicer than half of the 240s on NICO.

Oh yeah! Trust me, I'm a perfectionist so seeing my hood with gaps in between everyday is killing me. Not to mention, my left headlight is lazied eyed. It flops around and wiggles when I go fast or over bumps in the road. I bolted it up, then it looks like it's halfway open. :spitout: Like a retarded, sleepy eyed mod. :lolling:

I was thinking some BBS mesh wheels with some wide tires and powdercoat them either flat black, or bronze. That blue with bronze is killer. What you think? You know, kinda like the STI setup. Not that I want to be anything like them. :ohno:

Okay so that was a little way too much hardware and blingy for me. Something that has more webbing to it. Was the chuckle, you laughing at me? :facepalm: My fault.
