Nice! I got mine rolled at a shop down in FL for like 35 a fender. It was so worth it. I wish i had the dough for 20's...I think they fill up our wheel well perfectly.

just got a few of my new intake parts in the mail and my ebay catch can

along with a new grille for my deer damaged jetta lol

[KeVQ35]

Yeah I'm thinking about the painting the lower grille on the front of my bumper as well Gene and doing the same for the SE-R rear--I need some side sills .

On another note, I can't believe how tire pressure can affect MPG. I have been so busy as of late that I haven't even bothered to check my tire pressure and checked today; it was at 25PSI on all four wheels. I've been getting around 240-250 at the 1/4 mark, approximately 80(c)/20(h); 16-17 miles to the gallon The gauge which is usually off by 2-3MPG has been showing 19.9 and 20, where it normally shows between 24-26MPG around town. Now that the tires are inflated to 33/30, it's back to showing 24-25MPG around town. Hopefully on the next tank things are back to normal.

Finally got my Zeitronix ZT-2 in. Now to order the Boomslang harness and get to wiring up everything including the AFC Neo so that I see what my A/F looks like. I'll just drive and data log and then tune the AFC Neo where applicable.

It's time to go with SRI. I'm tired of the CAI. Guess I'll peruse Gene's and Mikhel's threads.

Yeah the 20s look sick on slammed altima's. I like how the rear wheels tuck behind the fenders.

Rolling your fenders also provides you a wider range on aggressive rim set up with a peace of mind in scraping. Good luck with the 20's. They would look really good

very true. I am currently running and 8.5" wide rim with +30 total offset including my spacers and I do not rub at all in the rear

It's Mikhail.

Good luck with tuning! Let me know how it goes

[nadjkovic]

anyone's air still blow out the vents even when the dial is on off? Mine comes out pretty noticeably, and I can even adjust the temp of it.

[RIZAMAN]

^It's fresh air coming in, which will still go through the heater core.

Is the air circulation button on?

[rotflmaltimao]

got a nismo chin spoiler for 99 cents off ebay from emgee parts a few months ago. still too lazy to put in on. maybe I'm just not excited cuz I only paid 99 cents. lol. also i'm planning to put my racingline springs on soon. how much clearance would I have with that and the chin spoiler? anybody?

and I've never hydrolocked my engine, but I think I would also feel more at ease with a SRI instead of my CAI. just for peace of mind when rolling thru puddles. esp when I lower the front. dc gets is share of thunderstorms.

I was thinking the same thing. Lol. I dunno about everyone elses' car but mine gets pretty poor air circulation when its venting the air in. I used to be just fine in the summer days in my old accord but I'm dying in this Altima without AC. And the vents don't really close too well to cut off that passenger vent thats rarely used.

Glad to see thread like this.

For anyone who've gone over the 100k miles mark, what did you do for tune-up? Mine is fast approaching that mark and want to see what needs to be done.
