Ralphie : 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5s

[Ralphie]

Wow. A little over a year later and the car is gone. HA.

Passed it down to my sister in law as she was in need of a car, so it is still around.

Picked up a 2013 Accord EX. Guess ill make a MRT for that one since it is actually a Honda.

Thanks for all the views and comments.

Well had a flat the other day, and figured it was time to get new shoes.

Money is tight right now, so I went with Kelly Charger GT's.

I had them on the Accord and they were suprisngly nice. Ride was smooth, no noise, and it felt much better in the rain/slush.


Ended up having them redo the pads and rotors.

Nothing else going on!

These are good cars. I've driven a bunch and had about 8 hours of seat time in a rental 2.5 S. We have a nice 2010 3.5 SR at work.

Definetly a great all round car. I like the white too.

Ya, I drove this exact car from Fla to NY about two years ago....

and now I've had it a few months, I drive it 60 miles a day for work....

Other then the stupid trunk lock(which could happen to any car), she is a solid car. Interior is pretty good, not impressive, but not cheap.

MPG is fucking other worldly lol.

Rides quiet, smooth, and comfortable.

Some people dismiss the CVT, but I don't mind it. It's not a manual, and for an AUTO, do you really give a shit about how the tranny shifts?

Besides it's ability to stay below 2k while doing highway speeds, is quite nice!

Don't really have any complaints thus far!

Well I had the trunk lock fall apart on me about a month ago. Got it fixed, Nissan wanted $58. I paid them, then complained to Nissan who(after arguing) reimbursed me.

22k miles and the trunk lock falls apart? Like I hit the trunk release and heard it fall apart...the screws came loose....

That never happend to my fucking cb7, why should it happen to a 2009 with 22K?

So that's strike 1 for Nissan.

Other then that, I had a weird noise when I start the car...can't explain it...like a pop sound...

Im getting the oil changed and brakes done soon, so they can check it out and holla at me.

Cover photo updated now that I have a Canon 5d. Woot.

[Ralphie]

Updated the cover photo.

Nothing new to report.

[Ralphie]

Congrats.

Thanks!

Nothing else to report.

Still enjoying the car. No plans right now for any mods.

I will try to get some nice shots now that the weather is a little nicer.

[PUMASTi]

Congrats.

[Ralphie]

Yeah, $600 for fogs is crazy. My suspension was less than that. Lol Love how it looks after installing the fogs. Any other plans for it?

Thanks dude. Nah, just my dd. Might do LEDs in the interior but that'd be it.

[Ralphie]

Well fogs are in.

Was the easiest mod I have ever done.

Screwed the fogs in, plugged in the exisiting harness, and then installed the new stalk behind steering wheel. Preso, instafogs

LOL.

Here's some pictures-

Nice pick up, man.
It's always nice to get a newer ride

$600 is insane btw. I'd laugh in their face if they told that much

[Ralphie]

Ya I figured it wouldn't be prewired because a lot of other people online said their 2.5s were not, but sure enough, I lucked out.

Nissan wanted like $600 for the install.

Six Hundred and zero cents.

I got an OEM kit with OEM stalk with h11 bulbs for $65.

All I have to do is take a half hour and screw them in place and plug them in.

Six Hundred.

Just distasteful.

[Clean_4th gen]

Yeah thats super easy. You were lucky, my Versa wasnt as easy(not pre-wired).

[Jking72]

That's sick, pre-wired. I hope the civic is that easy lol.
