B15 Spec V

[Spencey]

Since the Civic is gone, I figured I'd post some pics of the new ride, my 05 Sentra SE-R Spec V. I haven't quite had 2 months, couldn't leave it bone stock, and already have 2,900 miles. Enjoy..

First pics after I brought it home..

Stock Brembos y0

Pinstripes and Sentra badge removed plus Nismo intake and Nismo catback exhaust..

And the old Civic..

It's a blast to drive. The powerband is so much different than the Civic since it makes more torque than horsepower with this setup.

nice, not a fan of the body but hey they are pretty quick.

yea, i never was a huge fan of the looks but those spec v's are torquey and have a good suspension/brake setup

nice, those things are tourque monsters

yea, 180 ft lb at 4000rpm ain't bad. i wish it had more hp for a 2.5L though, but i'm sure you aren't complaining

Honestly I think these cars are a little overrated.... They can be quick little autox cars, but otherwise I think a 240 is a better choice...

But then again that is more personal preference then anything....

Other then that, keep doing what you are doing....

I think it's perfect the way it is, well until it gets a few years old and possibly boost it, but I don't know about that yet. As far as horsepower, its because since the stroke is so long, it only revs to 6,200 rpm, a little difficult to get insane horspower numbers. The last dyno sheet I saw on a boosted Spec at the wheels was 253 hp and 307 lb ft of torque.

yea, bigger motors have trouble revving to high rpms, i've never driven one but i know people that have and they said they loved it. not bagging on the car or anything it's just what i prefer

I'm not a big fan of the sentra's but yours is pretty nice. They come with stock brembos, thats cool.

Well, some of the Spec Vs do, it's a $1,000 option on the Specs. Goes nicely with the factory 6 speed and factory helical LSD.

Ive always liked the SERs.. I almost had an old 92' B13 SER w/ the SR20DE for $300 w/ only 80k miles.. but nope, the lady sold it before I could get it.. have fun with the car..
