Decided to jump on the bandwagon and make a thread on my car Anyone know how to post pictures directly onto the post instead of attached? I'm still lost on that lol

 

[freddddddy]

Just a bunch of random pictures along with my Venezuelan leaf that I got 2 weeks ago :ihih:

Got the TIIDA A/C KNOBS EXTRA EARLY WOOOOOOOOT!

I'm excited to see them at night :biggrinjester:

Used bubble wrap and a flathead. Can you tell I was excited lol

 

[freddddddy]

Yessir. Thanks man!

Where are you from?

 

[freddddddy]

Oh good stuff, my neighbor's from there and he's chill =)

 

[freddddddy]

Got a night shot, I have my brightness settings on like medium bc I hate it when everything's too too bright on my dash, etc.

 

[freddddddy]

Got the F1Sports bar from Ebay today and installed it

Don't mind all the random tools lol

 

[freddddddy]

No sir, I haven't gotten the chance to test it out today, tomorrow I will through several different roads and see how it feels

I had to drill a hole on the right side mount to make it fit properly, but i'm satisfied

 

[freddddddy]

Haven't gotten it yet, I think it should be here by Tuesday. And I'll call up a few friends and see if I can tackle it next friday or on the weekend. I don't know how hard it'll be but we have the tools, or at least we hope we do lol

 

[freddddddy]

So as far as the bar goes, definitely a plus! I drove a good 30 miles today on some reg roads as well as hella curvy roads and it feels like the versa sticks the turns better.. closer to the ground? I don't know how to explain the feeling lol. I don't have any lowering springs and as far as everything suspension wise it's stock. And for $35 bucks you can't really go wrong

 

[freddddddy]

Touch up anyone?
Header should arrive tomorrow :woot:

 

[freddddddy]

OBX Header

ERRR MERRR GERWWD!
Its here :banana:

Thanks again RedAlertV!!

Asked my buddy he said he'd help but we'll have to figure out a time and everything for the installation. I hope no issues come up during/after.

 

[freddddddy]

He got the front

 

[freddddddy]

Here it is folks. Sorry they're phone pictures

Random process pictures.


The issues with the installation are that:
#1 my O2 sensor that is attached to the oem header was stuck so we stripped it trying to get it out. Right now I'm running without the sensor but I should have that fixed soon
-solution: Cut the wires off the oem sensor and buy aftermarket one and just splice the ends. hopefully it won't cost too much.
#2 A bolt broke off in the connection between the straight pipe and the OEM cat-back so there's pieces of it stuck in the hole.EDIT-->Pic #4. I'm also running this part without the bolt on that side (there's two sides which you can see in the picture)
-solution: Buy another bolt like it and put it in and use a tool that will get the broken off part out of the hole.

Overall it took about 3 1/2 hours. The really hardest part was bending the heatshield out of the way so we could have more room to get the bolts and nuts off the OEM header. It's HELLA cramped under there! I used the stock gasket, OEM, bc others have reported a leak and I guess I'll be the tester for using the OEM gasket. No, I didn't put the heat shield back on the OBX header. Yes I currently have a leak but that's only bc the bolt broke off and it's not secured properly.

I think thats all, if you guys have any further questions, feel free

 

[freddddddy]

Whoops that second picture didn't post like I wanted... it's supposed to be the opening showing the end of the OBX header where the straight pipe attaches to.

Also, it sounds nasty

 

[freddddddy]

Yeah. Emissions aren't until mid next year so I'll let the future me worry about that lol

And correct sir, it looks a little sad connecting the rusted cat to the shiny header pipe

 

[freddddddy]

I ordered the replacement O2 sensor and got it for $87 as well as same brand that the stock one was. DENSO. Whenever that comes in I'll go and pull out the straight pipe and put it in as well as seal in the connected part. There's still a very small leak but it's nothing like it was before so the sound went way down which is good, kind of too loud in the cabin.

 

[freddddddy]

what exhaust are you using? oem?

yup that'll be upgraded later when I get more money

 

[freddddddy]

Yup that'll be the one, I already looked at the other option Greddy and decided with this one
