Well I guess there's no time like the present to announce the latest addition to my Nissan fleet and finally re-introduce myself on the site after a brief time away. Here is a brief catch up on what's been done since last August.
After many years of being a devout petrol head I finally went over to the darkside and bought a diesel motor (shock horror), which one I hear you wonder well a Techno Grey (KY5) 5 door [lexicon]N16[/lexicon] SXE. Yes I can honestly say that the decision was made an easier one following on from the test drive and with the alternative being continuing driving around in a 16 year old Nissan Micra (not best for someone over 6'4" tall).
This example with relatively low mileage was a former AOC members/friends car and had been well looked after so when it became available I couldn't let is pass me by.
Only a few things were initially done since picking it up in August mainly swapping some mods from my old petrol [lexicon]N16[/lexicon]. The Nismo strut brace was a must as was the 35w H7 HID kit and the OEM rear window shades for that privacy and less impact from our amazing summer thus far.
Future plans for the car are undecided as this is a daily and as usual expense on it is to be kept to a minimum but who knows I may get a few bits sorted to make it a lil bit more me wind deflectors are top of that list. Upgrading the single horn to a two trumpet setup and fitting the rear phase 1 lights and previously modified bumper are probably the first things I'll look into as they are still on the previous [lexicon]N16[/lexicon]. Colour-coding the chrome handles, and tidying up the bodywork dings for a car this age are the first priorities.
A few images were taken of the wheels as pink Tinker-bell's isn't really my thing or choice of colourcoding, no real pics till I get a chance to get her clean and sort my wind deflectors being fitted.
Not really my thing but will be changed soon enough, You like Fluff?
Forgot to mention the car had a Parrot CK3100 installed but due to a lack of audio streaming a MKi9100 was found and is awaiting a patch lead so I can start the installation and enjoy iPhone/iPod audio along with call handling. The [lexicon]P12[/lexicon] auto dimming rear view mirror also from the other car is also going to get fitted just forgot to get it ready for install hence no pics.
