Presenting
The Award Winning
The Charm City Altima Project
Nissan Altima Turbo KA-T
KA24DET
Immediate goal: Become the Finest Nissan in the Baltimore area
Future.... Take over the WORLD!!!!
I Began this project when I inherited the my mom�s Altima in May 2004 after she bought a 2004 Acura TSX. My goal then was to make a car that fit me. My goal now is to make the best 2nd gen Altima....EVER! Its a Daily-Driven show car, and each year, its gets better. Won�t be my last or only car, but I�m keepin her for as long as I can and we�ll see how far we get.
Some how, I have managed to do all my work my own work to my car. Things that i would have never thought I would have been able to do to a vehicle. I Dont even consider myself all that car savvy, spiting motor names, compression ratios, quarter mile times....all that jazz, like other people. Alot of people hit me up on the guestbook asking how do i do this and that. Just research it, research it some more, find pictures, find other people who have did it, draw it up, dream about it, make it happen.....
Before and After Photos

I owe my ambition and much of my automotive proficiency to the knowledgable members of the Altimas.net forums (nissanclub.com). A wealth of knowledge and know-how.
