I am absolutely loving this car.

Of course, I'd love a WRX much better... but this car still kicks butt for the price.
And boy, an oil change made a difference in responsiveness!

Absolutely. But the car drives faster slower when the driver is in need oof a quick lube though.  :)

There are lots of good turbo options for the SR20DE engine.  You could keep up with WRX's then.  ;)

The Nissan Primera is/was very very popular among 'Tuners' in the Asian Market. FWD does have its limitations tho.  :)

that car is pretty nice!
but don't think I'll be putting on an exhaust that long on my car. you could probably whack something with that when you make a turn!

updating with new pics!
It's amazing what a total of 5 hours of hard labor can do when you have the right stuff.
I used Meguiar's 3-Step, then topped it off with Turtle Wax to keep the shine there for a while.

after all this waxing? oh yeah, I'm definitely going to play.

Already added a K&N drop in filter replacement and changed up the spark plugs. This car has new life :D

And I love the deep shine. It's sooooooo nice.

done!!

I can't believe what a difference cleaning, waxing and polishing can make on an 8 year old car! Definiteily brings out a deeper deeper shine.

Oh! and I don't know if anyone's noticed, but I got cheapo mud flaps put on. Notice that they're not super ricey... I personally like them better than the stock one that came with the car.

No. But did notice the reflection of some happy camper takin' a picture of a shinny car.  :)

Mud flaps look good to me.

I agree, amazing transformation. You probably also upped your re-sale value.
