28 years old nissan sentra.

Under restoration and upgrades.
Mechanical part like engine, gearbox, ecu already upgraded.

Bukan marah. But still sakit hati lol.

Normal nia. You should see those who restore late model merc and bmw lol.

will update later. Step by step, once nice only post ma.

Not everything, car audio upgrades I give to shop. Tedious job, plus I don't have all the proper clips if I broke any during the process. Better to pay ppl money to do it. Anything happen they will have the tools and clips to fix it. If have hole after pasang they also will have many sizes of deck to close the hole. For RM120 I think it is worth it for installation whole car audio.

It is the taxi genting lol

No fake la. Bought at giant during promo. Bought 4 bottles lol

Already have one ninja waiting patiently for me to ride her anytime

The last version of sr20ve, the sr20ve 20v with 6 speed MT gearbox.

I started with a budget. Max 35k (with repairs and upgrades).
Previously was eye-ing a Honda Civic ek or the integra with b18c type R engine. Almost bought one too.
However these cars are so hot, I will always be afraid of thief.
Also although the aftermarket support and parts are a lot, it is also quite expensive due to demand.

On the other hand,
Nissan cars with upgraded engines are relatively cheaper compared to the typical hot demand honda VTEC for almost similar power.
Furthermore if I put my car anywhere also people won't bat an eye. Ease of mind.
Finally, and most importantly, my car is 15k cheaper than a civic ek with b18c type R. All those funds can be spent on repairs and upgrades instead. Then it will be super nice.
I also am quite fond of the sentra b13 shape. So it all checks out:
1. Cheap
2. Parts still available and relatively cheap compared to toyota and honda (toyota ori rear lights I bought for RM350, nissan RM180 only can get JDM rare lights)
3. Similar power and characteristic as VTEC. Nissan have VVL, same concept only different mechanism to activate it. Both very reliable.
4. Not a thief magnet. Ease of mind.
5. Did I mentioned cheap?

Good condition altezza are out of my budget. 2jz not suitable as a daily car lol.

Where got wor.. new car after 6 months paying the loan already same as my repairs and upgrades part. After upgrades and restore will last few years already.
As reliable as a new car, but 2x the power.

Door main switch is cheapest already. it included the whole console at the side door, not only the switch.
Door rubber lining is not new, halfcut condition.
Yest the tail light is very cheap. Got cheaper RM130 but less shiny lol. The one I bought looks like new.

Hmm? Which thread? link please

6k can only buy the car with the original engine. But very good condition if 6k la haha

Yaya cars are my hobby and passion.
My previous car also quite fast, a SEG AE101 with 4AGE blacktop, 6 speed MT gearbox too. But lala a bit with subaru bumper and lowered adjustable absorbers lol.

Hmm...truth be told, I got poison-ed by the honda guys with their VTECs.
I was cruising on my blacktop and suddenly a wild CIVIC EK appears.
After the normal nodding, we started... and I got beaten flat by a civic ek with B18C type R engine. Some more my engine already upgraded. I know it is a 1800cc vs my 1600cc but it seems like....kena tinggal quite a few tiangs le. So I began researching about honda engines and finally I came to this route.

Mine will be a VTEC killer.

Cannot, because I don't have the kit

Yeah, b13 is better since the Japs will haven't started their cut cost countermeasures then. I didn't know there is a AWD conversion kit, but with only 200hp engines, I think 2-wheel is enough. Some more this will be my daily car.

5.x seconds more likely, should be able to give a good fight with a civic K20A type R and leave the civic B18C type R behind bye bye lol.
4 seconds need boost already.

Shop one lol. Haven't buy. Want to do everything nicely first.
