Welcome to the club. I'd like to try a staggered set-up with 15x8 225/45/15's up front. Fender flares may be in the cards for me in '08...I need to do some searching on who makes them for ef/ed. </TD></TR></TABLE>

then you could duplicate that you did to the fronts with a piece of sheet metal and tack it onto the rears.

Who cares, some rich twenty year old actor dude is dead. I find it nuts the media needs to tell me about this instead of the "democracy" that is happening on capital hill.

 

Can anybody tell me if its safe to run a small spacer on stock length wheel studs? If so, what's the limit? I tried some new wheels on my DA today and they hit the caliper

pic for reference.. i know it needs to go lower with the 14's..

In for more info. I want to rock 14" blades on 10.3" brakes

 

hey mr. crx, dave coleman wrote something about the minimum amount of turns, ill see if i can find it, i think you need 5 full revolutions of the lug nut, but let me check on that

 

So I'm back on the ol "I want to buy this Sentra SE-R" thing again. This time with pics and a little more info. on the car from the owner.

He said that it had been his dd until he ran into the back and under a lifted truck and its been sitting for a while now.

Problems:
obvious cosmetic damage
"classic 5th gear pop-out"
needs a new clutch
ticking from a lifter (I don't know much about this)

The car runs well except for the tranny...









I put a note on the windshield asking the guy if he wanted to sell the car. He calls me and wants me to take it for a spin to see what its worth to me. He didn't give me a ballpark number...so I don't know where to even begin to offer.

People with experience with these cars help me out. I plan on doing all the body work/paint myself so that isn't what im asking about. With the amount of work involved what is a good number to throw at the guy?

 

find kbb for "bad" condition, then cut it in half. dont let him sleep on it, have that amount in your wallet. so when he says "umm yeeaaa alright" hand it to him.

 

I've been running 5mm H&R wheel spacers with stock wheel studs for over a year with no issues

cash in hand is good though. I really dont think I should spend more than $500 on it but then again, I dont have any experience with this car.

5th gear popout is the tip of the ice berg on those as far as synchros go. next you won't ahve 3rd gear and soon after 4th will start popping.

those are hla's so the ticking is incurable-unless you intend on pulling the timing covers so you can pull the timing chain, os you can pull the cams to access the lash adjuster to replace it. and that is assuming you can get teh lower supprt off from the bottom that always rust through and if you touch it you will never have 2 out of 4 engine mounts ever again.

if you are really gung ho about having a b13 find a better/cleaner one. i know from experience that trying to freshen up a rough one is a far worse investment than coughing up the change to buy one that is rust/dent/problem free.

edit-i wouldn't pay more than $50 so if it ***** out on me i could at least get my money back from the junkyard when they buy it for scrap.


as far as the 2 tip exhaust goes-just buy it from the dealer. they only cost about 150 for the axle back section and the oe replacement ones have lifetime parts replacement warranty should it rot out.

 

DA mufler has dual tip
Si has dual piping

just a fyi

So what happens if the hla's go without being replaced? I just want to replace the hood and fenders and rattle can it flat black and call it a day. It would be a good dd for around town. ASSuming you werent totally serious about the $50 I think I can offer $100 for a beater...

 

hey kyle, i am the same way when someone asks about a vw vr6. i tell em to stock up on "crack pipes" (the cooling system part that CRACKS a lot) as well as carry a coilpack in the glovebox, they **** without notice every 2 oil changes.

you are half-correct.

the SI has dual piping EXITING the muffler. before the muffler, it's still a single exhaust.

the DA exhaust has single piping that Y's at the tip.

SI exhaust:


DA exhaust:
