I sold the Sentra for 1,800. I bought a somewhat of a better car. I got a 1991 Toyota Mr2, I got it for 1,200. It does need A LOT of work, but it will be worth it in the end.
This is my 1992 Nissan Sentra XE. This is what the car first looked like when I got it. I only paid $800.00 dollars for the car. The purpose of me buying this car was to learn how to drive a manual. After I got good at driving the manual. I decided to keep it, and fix it up while I attended college.
When I got it. The first thing I thought to myself was "I can't wait to learn how to drive this so I could get something better." I know I'm not suppose to think that way, but when I got it. The car had 4 different hub caps and needed a lot of repairs, but eh... I paid 800.00 dollars what should I have expected?
The only great thing about it was that the engine was perfect, and did not need any repairs.
I did not like the interior too much, but after awhile it grew on me. Now I actually do like it. There was NO music system in this car. The deck did not work, and the speakers was just dead. No sound, just static.
After a couple of months. The first thing that I went out and got was some rims, and tires for the Sentra. They're 17" rims. I would not recommend anyone to buy them if you're living in New York City. The road is just way to bad, and it's just wasting money. Unless if you drive it on the weekend, and you know how to avoid hitting the huge holes in the street.
After spending money on rims. I became addicted in spending money on the car. I went out and got the Megan Racing Exhaust that I bought off of ebay. It makes a lot of noise, but the good part is that it does come with a silencer. The only bad part is if you meet a nasty cop they will pull you over with the silencer on for "noise pollution."
After spending money on the exhaust. I decided to buy myself a "good" cold air intake. I bought my cold air intake from "Hot Shot Performance" I would recommend anyone whose serious in tuning their car. To check them out they do make, and sell good products.
I then decided to tint the windows on the car. So that way it would look more "cool" atleast in my mind it was. Plus it would help the apperance in the car.
I also bought a RPM tach for the car. I doubt you would be able to see it in the picture since it was taken with my old camera phone, but it's a huge tach. You can't miss it.
I decided it was time to get some music in the car. I went out and bought 4 Pioneer speakers, 1 Pioneer Deck, 2 12" Pioneer Subwoofers, and a 800 watt Pioneer amp. Yes I do love pioneer. I also bought a 10" steering wheel.
Sadly the car had no fog lamps, So I decided to go out and buy some fog lamps.
The last exterior mod that I've done was get the Se-R tail lights that are on the trunk. These things was a pain to find. I've checked almost every junk yard, parts place, and ebay listing for it. I had it imported from Trinidad & Tobago. My uncle lives there, and he was able to get it for me.
The only other thing that I honestly want to do to this car is drop it about an inch, tint the back window, headers, and maybe turbo a 1.6L engine. There's not much else to do to the car.
Update: I have done a couple of things to the car since I last updated the page. Here are some pictures of what I have done. I hope that you like the pictures.
There isn't anything left for me to do. I could always add a body kit, but I use this car everyday to go to work, & school. So I am going to be leaving it like this for a while. =)
Cars that I have beaten.
1979 - 1985 Mazda Rx7
1988 - 1991 Mazda Rx7
1988 - 1991 Pontiac Grand Am
1990 - 1993 Acura Integra

I haven't lost yet. I honestly don't know if any of these cars was stock or modded. All I know was on 4th gear I was gone.
Sadly this car was sold for $1,800.00. I've decided to move to a new project.
