INTRODUCE YOURSELF
My name is Chris Burnett I’m 24 from Clevedon near Bristol UK I’m a warehouse operative not the most exciting job but pays for my addiction ( importing JDM parts ).
You can follow my build on Instagram by following me @c513yy
I’ve always had an unhealthy addiction to cars from a very young age hearing stories from my dads youth and the cars he use to go around it. Growing up was always a fan of old cars and the day it came to get my license I couldn’t of been more excited, then finally it came time for the first car which will always hold a place in my heart and that was my mk1 facelift Renault Clio in red which sadly met its end when a tree suddenly appeared in front of me, in desperate need for a car I bought a mk6 fiesta not what I wanted but didn’t have much choice started to mess around with it but ended up getting bored pretty quick, then my Mazda 2 came along went crazy with that and because of that car started to import parts from Japan and follow the Japanese scene more. This brings me nicely onto my cube.
WHAT SQUARE DO YOU OWN?
2012 Nissan Autech Rider Edition
So my cube is a 2012 Autech rider edition is sapphire black, she’s a 1.5 cvt auto with 115bhp from the factory she was imported back in 2016 and I’m the second uk owner sadly she wasn’t best looked after by the pervious owners the paint ain’t the best but she’s getting the love now. I don’t really have a nickname for it, but my parents call it the hearse. I’ve wanted a cube since I was 10, I was lucky enough to go to Japan when I was little and the one car that stood out and stuck in my mind ever since was the cube, and had been looking at them ever since, the day came from me to get one and originally I wanted a white one but seen this black rider as there with the chrome front bumper and just fell in love with it one test drive later she was mine.

WHAT MODS HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR SQUARE?
So here comes the best bits!
Mods that have been done are:
BC racing coil overs with shortened springs and 326 power helper springs.
Blitz panel air filter.
Custom made side skirt extensions.
Led Smoked third brake light
Nothing has been done to the engine or gearbox as I'm happy with power as it is, plus the style I’m going for doesn’t require any extra power.
Wheels are a set of 2 piece weds kranze bazerias 16x7 et 38 I believe these are the only set in this size in the uk, I imported them myself for my Mazda and just so happened to fit the cube perfectly.
Car came factory tinted from Japan to Make it look more like a hearse, I’ve tinted the rear lights myself to red because I didn’t like the odd look from the rear fog light.
Clazzio leather seat covers.
Front tray table.
Centre armrest tray table.
Custom made rear centre arm rest table.
Junction produce neck pillows front and rear.
Curtains on every window.
Izumi wooden steering wheel ( rare to find these days ).
Broadway Mirror.
The car came with a Bluetooth touch screen stereo and the craziest floor mats ever, shag pile rugs front and back these add perfectly to the VIP luxury.
ANY FUTURE PLANS/MODS FOR YOUR SQUARE?
Future mods I’d like to do include:
Polybush the whole car.
Get it even lower.
Possibly a rear spoiler I’m working on a custom rear bumper at the moment with a rear lip that also came from Japan.
I’d liked to run a custom exhaust with this something that stands out and is not something you see everyday.
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP 3 SONGS YOU'D LIKE TO LISTEN TO IN YOUR SQUARE?
I don’t really have a top 3 songs I like most songs as long as it’s got a beat behind it, mainly listen to rap and grime music but all depends in the mood I’m in and what I’m feeling that day. Songs I’ve been listening a lot too recently are:
State to state by Nbhd nick
Wolves by big Sean, post malone
Hello by jelani Blackman
IF MONEY WAS NO OBJECT THEN WHAT WOULD YOUR TOP 5 DREAM CARS BE?
Now the hardest part no budget favourite cars, not your typical super car fan here so be prepared for some odd balls.
1st would have to be a Honda Odyssey absolute, but done as a high radius car with 19s, high radius is where you cut the arches so you can accommodate the bigger wheels whilst the car is sat on the ground
2nd would be a Lexus ls600h as the ultimate daily cruiser all the luxury you could want
3rd would be a Nissan Elgrand camper conversion
4th would be a Nissan 180sx with a Ps13 front end swap making it a sil80, this would be the drift car with a fully built sr20
5th would have to be a Toyota Estima with a big body kit massive chrome wheels and air ride, really fallen in love with these recently

ANY HONORABLE MENTIONS OR SHOUTOUTS?
Would like to thank my girlfriend and parents for putting up with he obsession and constant car talk, and the amount of parcels that are constantly being delivered to the door.
Another shoutout would be to vipstyle uk on Instagram from supplying all the junction produce parts for the car.
