Alkorahil Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 When your bored go take a look at the vacuum operated door lock system.....my buddies was a diesel so they installed a vacuum pump and that brings me to my point.....WHY?

Precise1 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Because it is easier to install a pump than change the entire system in an existing manufacture. I'll bet it made perfect sense on a $/manufacturing/time chart. Not saying it is fun to deal with, I'm an airhead. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyourface1650 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 and that brings me to my point.....WHY? Dude, I dont know. The manifold had at least 10-15 little air hoses coming off of it, and half of them of course were cracked since it was 80's rubber. Door locks never did run right...

Alkorahil Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 OK so the Nismo Sentra has some body bling that makes it look more 'cool' than the regular Sentra. But its still a Sentra. Not that there is anythings wrong with a Sentra it has its place, but who wants to spend more money on a basic car? I see what they are wanting to do, but they are going about it wrong, IMHO.

Precise1 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 So exterior styling, but no performance gains? I hate it when car companies do that... Looks do not mean performance, no matter how shallow your market is! I'd much rather see some HP gains, suspension improvement/tuning, brake upgrades and no visible difference other than rims, and maybe a badge and some colors only available for the 'sport' model. Unfortunately, these days most things seem to be about appearances, not reality... B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linewar Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Your neighbor can't see a 20HP gain when its parked out front each night... they can see a body kit While I disagree, I somehow can't fault that logic. Impressive, sir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnut Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 one day I will make a spoiler out of an old snow board and 2x4s and attach it to the trunk of my buddys K car (olds reliant) via duct tape.

Alkorahil Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 I have been told the nismo sentra will have a HP gain and better suspension, but till it hits the showroom who knows. I never believe car rumors 100% till hit hits the showrrom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) I didn't take a picture of it out of respect, but I just found a dead body left behind in a trade in! Ok, it wasn't a body, but it was someone's ashes. Box was clearly marked and yes, there was a plastic box with someone's remains inside. I told the necessary people and the salesman is calling the customer so we can return them as needed. Strange thing is, this is the second time I have found that in a car that someone traded in.
