And so it begins again...introducing Seymour the Sensational Sentra! - Focaljet

**Mr. Blue** · 07-01-2008, 01:07 PM

Lemons car number three has been purchased. This should be fun. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves for now.

**HuTcH** · 07-01-2008, 01:30 PM

so is it an SER with aspirations of being a BMW or a sentra with aspirations of being a SER and a BMW?

**SVTDuck** · 07-01-2008, 02:12 PM

I looks like it's been through 4 hours of racing already. It's pre damaged.

**Mr. Blue** · 07-01-2008, 02:36 PM

It is an SE-R most definitely.

The BMW badge, while not making any sense at all, was added by the previous owner. It actually makes an odd bit of sense though as we added one to our first Lemons car about halfway through the race as a joke so it may just stay on the car.

And it is most definitely pre-damaged.

You should see how "well" the doors and body panels fit. But...it's a sleeper.

**Z63R** · 07-01-2008, 02:38 PM

Nissan, in print ads of the time, touted this car as the successor to the BMW 2002...

So in a way, it fits.

Happy LeMonizing, ladies and gentlemen of NoRCal!

**thefrush** · 07-01-2008, 03:28 PM

It's just following tradition, rather ironically.

**GtnMaZumOn** · 07-01-2008, 04:45 PM

It's destiny!!

All it needs are some AAA stickers.

Great purchase, folks. I can't wait!!!

**brads03zx3** · 07-01-2008, 05:27 PM

Needs tint and a drop...or at least a redo. Those bubbles will get annoying

Very cool Pirates

You should go watch, walk the pits, ect. Its amazing to watch really. Bumpin and grindin doesn't only have to go on in the bedroom.

Wish i could, my friend had the need to get married on the 24th. which means i get to miss that day's autox too.

**OmniFocus** · 07-03-2008, 10:06 AM

As I was getting dressed this morning, I spotted this thing parked next to the house and uttered "Oh man, what have we done!"

**Mr. Blue** · 07-03-2008, 01:33 PM

We've done something awesome! That's what we've done.

**SVTDuck** · 07-03-2008, 05:05 PM

Does the interior smell like Cedric did?

**OmniFocus** · 07-03-2008, 06:34 PM

No, thankfully.

...though every piece of bare plastic in the car has been painted black... as well as a few other things that weren't really meant to be painted.

**Mr. Blue** · 07-04-2008, 09:50 PM

Update number 1.

We bought the first part! The starter button!

**GtnMaZumOn** · 07-04-2008, 09:53 PM

^^

At least we won't have to worry bout losing the key on the race track!

**thefrush** · 07-04-2008, 10:33 PM

Staples Performance Parts, everything you need for your office race car.

Well, that and don't get over zealous with the weight reduction by shaving a whole quarter of an oz by removing the body plugs.

Rob and Lorin didn't do it, but it was still funny. The key came out of the ignition and fell in a hole that otherwise would have been filled by a rubber body plug.
