My Nissan Almera 2.0 GTi

Couple of things that jump out, the silver thing around the boot lock and the front bumper fitment, but other than that it looks a quality buy.
looks like there is loads of room to go lower too

agreed
looks like a good purchase
is it me, or in that last pic of the alloy, is there a couple of bolts missing?

^yeah but i wouldnt worry about it, there obviously not real splits anyway.

LOL

HELLA CLEAN!

well I got bored earlier and picked that crap off from round the lock on the boot and have sorted the gap on the front bumper.

I have began to have second thoughts about the car.However still a good buy..really fancy an EF9 SiR ...... I was looking at one the other day but way outta my budget, but the Almera will do for now until I get my licence back.

Yeah the wheels are Gash... there's also a patch on the back left quarter under the light and bumper thats just wrong ....

Other than that sweet car pulls good and very quick..

You can't 'slam' these so to speak.. Mine wouldn't really be classed as slammed but the under engine brace is 2" off the ground..
Love the colour though Powelly.. Could look sick on coilovers with some 16" bronze centred meshy splits.
Also it needs some engine mods to keep up with the likes of some of the TOA lads.. But I can help you with that.
Nice buy.
Joe

Urs aint 'slammed' shaggy but it looks nice low.

If your sticking to a budget try getting a swap with them rims, or do something with them, i think they could look sick.

@ Ezz, Spray them?? whats your thought's?

Dont wanna spend too much on this......

@ Shaggy - I need a 421 manifold and decat pipe + Back box, Lowering springs??? Any idea's

Quick update a couple of the bay





And I removed that gash gunk off the boot lock. (Still needs a clean up)

Ezza I said mine aint slammed.. It wouldn't drive any lower as the Almeras have a sh*t low floor pan and stuff underneath.
Also Powelly.. 4-2-1 headers can be had cheap off Ebay (£120ish) its either that or a £500 Advanced Street Performance one from the USA which may gain you a few more HP over the Ebay one.
Decats are simple, any micra, skyline, pulsar one will fit.
Exhausts are a plenty on the owners club, a second hand cat back usually goes for £100-£150.
I've also got some JDM Lucino rear lights I may sell if you make me a decent offer.. They owe me £230. Would make the rear end of your car look sh*t hot ...
Joe

Cheers Shaggy, Thanks for the offer on the lights.
will get some parts sorted

What do you think of this bay??

I was agreeing & complementing u shag.

Maybs paint them, il have a look on photoshop later for ya

That bay looks good, not feelin the dodgy red writing

Sound ez, gunna do somthing with the rocker cover next week and get an air filter too.

Red rocker cover - dunno been played out - same colour as the body work?? Maybe??

That bay you posted is a chap I know Curtis.. It looks alright but he's basically just painted the valve cover.
And there's more to making a nice bay than painting the valve cover.
Check out my bay pictures if you wanna go all out.. I took engine out and degreased/de waxoyl'd, removed the Aircon, removed the Carbon canister, simplified the breather lines, engine loom etc. Also had all the brackets/bits powdercoated black.
My engine bay alone got me 3rd place in our club's show & shine at JAE 2009.
Joe

Nice Im soooooo gunna have to get you to come over and check out my car dude...

Next TOA meet yeah?
That colour GTi you have can easily be made to look better, orange indicators are a great addition to the front end.
I've also got a JDM 2-slat grill if your interested in that, all the JDM bits are way expensive though, the grills are about £70-£80.
Joe

A nicely sprayed rocker goes a long way towards making the bay look sharper, the hideously rusted manifold cover is the first thing that jumps out as being janky, whip it off and hit it with some high temp silver or black paint. and maybe that random bracket bottom right, is that necesary?

Deffo Ez, I so agree...... So White?? Red..Blue Rocker?? will nip to Halfords tomorrow only down the road...??

not white please, lol.

whatever you want dude, just not a primary colour imo, always looks shit

Will do somthing with it watch this space...

I say do it black, done mine black with polished Honda and think it looks pretty clean tbf..it's on my FB.

Also did my heat shield. Subtle ftmfffffw..

got bored and sold ...

lol, shit your as bad as me, what gives?

couldnt be arsed with it...just wasnt feeling it sorry almera owners but just wanted a Honda.....it was like i was having an affair....(Not even a dirty one)

Lol's yeah said to Ned im gunna get an 87-91 shape next i think...
