my new '99 Altima 5 speed

Post by boroL30altima »

What's going on, just signed up for this site, got a few questions about these cars

my Altima has 80k miles, 5speed, all the good (if any) on the SE trim.

i'm 19, making 40000 a year, gotta get some descent n/a power. lookin for good exhaust, intakes, plugs, injectors, GOOD clutch, anyone have any ideas

at 19 years old? its a good chunk of change...im 20 and made 12k last year, im also a full time student. but with 12k a year i have managed to build a car with a lot of goodies on it. with 40k you could at least start with a car that doesnt look horrendous.

wolf technology has alot of stuff for the fwd ka's umm ,stillen performance if your looking to build for turbo thats the way to go buy a whole new motor to build from scratch the timing chain is a tricky bi*ch lol i have stillen header maf adapter with filter and 2 1/2 cat back and i went 15.6 down the quarter at 204k miles lol, if you want something faster then you will need turbo :/ that gets expensive, but a jwt ecu will handle every thing you need turbo spray or N/A dont get an ebay header tho lol they are ****

so im saying if you want to just pick on honda's then N/A but if you want to get after some v8's go decent size turbo

wow why are people hating on you. i have an idea for you. if i had the money i would do this r you ready to hear this?

YES IT CAN BE DONE WITH AN SR but this is ka forum so listen

IF U YOU REALLY WANTED A BAD ASS ALTIMA i would make it AWD Ive read that if you get an awd nissan Axxess they come with the sohc ka the trans is interchangable 240sx rear sub frame. build that bih to like 400-450 hp you will be kicking ass and people would never see it coming.just my thought.

I'm not so much a fan of the way altimas look either, but I like the other aspects of them. They are torquey, have lsd (some), good ride quality, reliable, and decent fuel economy. I'm talking pre-2002 altimas, the newer ones are ****.

I would like to have a mild turbo altima for a daily sleeper.

I would put some exhaust and a cai on it for now and just enjoy the car. In the mean time start saving money to eventually go turbo. Shouldn't take you long since you are a baller according to some people in this thread.
