Welcome to Pixel Car Art

[Vicent M.]

hi everyone, I will structurate this post in two parts.

the first one is like a goodbye letter or an apologise letter.

i would like to apologise to everyone in the forum, ive been a big faggot in the last months/years, turned friends into enemies. I though it was kinda fun, at a first moment it was, trolling for fun but ive realised that my problem is that I cant make jokes without getting people offended. I know some of the s**t Ive said was unnecessary and useless and attacked people that didnt do anything to me, well nobody did it.

I dont want to make it too long because I dont know what to say more about this, just sorry, I know my blame.

the second one is to introduce my, yes, my car.

After saving some money in the last months, working as much as I could, as you may see my inactivity lately, ive decided that I need a car, Ive also wanted it, but mom said that Ive needed a car, so I started looking for ads. I had things clear, i wanted a japanese car, with some funny engine.

My first car-hunting were Hondas, seen all of them, Civic ESi, Preludes, Accord, Legends... All of them in a good shape and not too expensive, we are talking about 1500 euros.
After seeing that all of them were expensive, Ive started looking for other japanese brands, like Nissan or Suzuki.

So, the next one was a Pulsar VZR or the Almera GTi in Spain, I found one that was in 1900 and the day I called was 1500 euros, that was perfect for me, 140.000kms and 1 owner, sunroof and black color. The day I was going to buy it after talking to the owner, he said that he sold it, WITHOUT TELLING ME FIRST. Good for me that I didnt make a 400kms trip for a non-existent Almera.

My friends girlfriend found me another Nissan, it was powered by the same engine as the Almera GTi, Sunny GTi, and N/A Silvias, the SR20DE. This one was offered in 1900 euros, 108.000 kms and everything original and working, so i went to see it, it was 1 hour from home. Car was amazing, sunroof working, engine was cool, no weird noises and such. When I was going to take it weve found that the rear had an important crash, we realised it because of the floor.

Ive found another one, same price but had the head burnt, so It was a no. Then I found a red one, it was offered in 1500 but the owner told me that I would work on it so it was 1400. When I was going to buy it, I found a better one, it was 1700 but then turnt 1600, the owner was going to give me a set of tires and a radio with it.

After talking to him and WITHOUT seeing the car, mom and I took the 406 and we were going to make a 1000kms trip in a day, Ondara to Sabadell (Barcelona) and Sabadell to home, in total 970kms.

To be honest, I wasnt sure about that, it was too far from home and the money that you can ´´lose´´ but thinking it well, its better than lose 150 euros in petrol and highway tolls, than losing 1700 euros on a bad car, so lets go to Sabadell! The 406 went amazing, 257.000kms and still going like the first day...

We arrived and then we went to Burguer King to ate something and then, we went to see what could be MY car.
At first sight it looked good, some body stuff but thats normal, in spain we done have people driving, we have pigeons.

Went for a test drive and when Ive tried to negotiate the price he didnt wanted to, because he had another possible buyer, so I was not going to argue. It was mine, my first car.

And then...

The return trip was terrible, 4 hours of intense rain (pics dont show it)

And then, at 23h in the night weve arrived home!

Ladies and gentleman, here I introduce you my first car,

This is a Nissan Primera, P11 gen, its exactly the GT model, the one that comes with Sport Suspension, sunroof, and leather interior. Comes with 205 tires and SR20DE. This unit was bought in the 1997, its got 173.000kms and everything is working.

Never though I would buy it this quickly, but Im very happy with it, its just different of what I use to see or drive everyday...

I hope you take my apologies and enjoy reading the trip as I did doing it and writing it.

Cheers!

I always liked you Vicent. I just found you brutally honest/ weren't afraid to voice your opinion.

Congrats on the new car! your story reminds me very much of how I got my car. Almost identical just switch the cars out.

Thanks man, its good to read that after everything!

Also thanks! It was kinda fun and scary, now I look at it and its weird, one year ago I was riding a bicycle and now ive got an SR20 powered Primera, wow

Funny how You bashed someone for getting a sr20de and You have one yourself now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

Anyways nice find, cool spoiler

Yeah man, thats why I apologised.

Thanks man!

Awesome dude! I remember you telling me you were after an almera/primera, nice work it looks in great shape!

Yeah mate, it was a black Almera but the guy sold it... Glad we have cars now!

I see two good thing about your purchase.. Not French and not diesel.. Good job..

Well, at the beginning I was going to buy a diesel, and another french, but then I started thinking, started looking for GSis or 306 GTIs and then I realised again that I want a japanese car, and now Ive got the money to buy one, so why not?

Thanks man!

Makes me wanna buy a car, cool story.

Yeah you should, its something new to me, feeling is weird, you see at the car and you say, wow thats mine, my car. I cant believe how it changed my life, the people sees me in a different way, specially my mom, she knows that I worked very hard for it and she see the Primera like something Ive deserved for ages, and she is very proud of that tbh.

Nice! I almost bought an Almera GTI the other day!

Enjoy your new car buddy!

Please, If you can buy one!

Thanks man... <3

Ive got a few plans for it, I will clean it tomorrow and I will try to take some pictures, of the exterior, interior and engine, engine specially needs a very clean.

Also Ive been testing it the other night with a friend, having a look to the specs we are talking about 200kg less than the 406 and 40hp more than the 406. Its really really fast and how it takes the corners is just amazing, never seen something that stable... The fuel consumption is 7.5 I would say, I did 540kms with 40 liters, 490kms were with 4 tires in the trunk lol
