Julien Lefebvre says he found the Nissan Sentra to have somewhat of a bad rep within the car culture community. That’s why, in 2014, he decided to purchase a 2011 Nissan Sentra SE-R, in an effort to dispel that negative connotation.
“The Qr25DE 2nd Gen is one of the most powerful 4-cylinder engines on the market, in the compact cars category, with 200 hp at the crank and 180 lb-ft of torque.”
As far as modifications go, which one is Lefebvre’s favorite? “My new wheels setup,” he replies. “I'm in love with the fitment and the width of the RPF1 wheels. Since I bought them, the handling isn't the same as it used to be before. Taking curves on the road with these are a real pleasure now.“
Lefebvre also plans on a Treadstone Performance turbo kit upgrade.
“I went this way to be different than everyone, and year after year, I still don't regret my choice!”
