Shes alive! :)

Drove around town today...got my plates..got insurance. Shes legal... need to get an inspection after the windshield gets replaced.

Leaks oil like a sumbitch from the front cover :< Need to spend a night takin it off and resiliconing it.

Didn't over heat once... fkn slow sohc :( but has enough torque to make it slide. This I found out :) :) :) :)

Still need to tint the front corner lights...


Second picture shows how low itll be when coils are on.

awesome man.. i've worked on alot of 240s.. boosted a ka, swaped out a ka for a sr20...you should do the sr20 swap its really easy to do. as for a deff in your car try finding a turbo or na 300zx diff to swap out with makes drifting alot more fun then having a welded diff ..if you have any questions let me know. i got a buddy of mine thats gots some spair parts i do beleave for sr and ka parts..if you want them..heads,cams,valves & springs and sr block if he still has it..just let me know

Fun stuff... somehow locked my keys in the car when it was running in the garage.

How? No clue...

Windshield was cracked and getting replaced tomorrow anyways. So rather than paying a lock smith or attempting to pull back the window (and breaking it on accident) trying to get in... I smashed in the windshield :D

Tomorrow it'll be sitting at the window place till around noon or so. Afterwards I might bring it back and take the rotors off to go get them turned.

Yea, it's not TOO slow... probably as fast or faster than my old Neon... maybe.

Not sure... it's fast enough to slide though... definitely can kick the ass end out when I want to.. pretty fun.


Tails are now back to stock... I was a moron and tinted them BEFORE I got an inspection... too dark to pass inspection.

I don't like them that dark anyways... so maybe I'll retint them after inspection a little lighter.

New windshield in... NEW rotors and brake pads up front.

Coils tomorrow? o.O

sweeeeet coils! and I'm glad that tint went bye bye. black tint just looks like crappy light covers from the '90s to me. I prefer the smoked look. I put 2 coats of niteshades on my tails and they look great. Just darkens them up a little, but not black.

Coils on.... not super dumpt...but frame rails are like 2" from the ground...maybe. So it's pretty low.... not sure if I'll keep it at that height or not...we'll see.


Pictures soon.. cell phone..


Real pictures tomorrow or sunday... fucking new tire (less than 50miles on it) already got something in it and is leaking.

Yay....

IMO it doesnt look dumped because of how narrow your wheels are.


240s have like, super wide 10" wheels and that to me, makes them look dumped and lower than what they actually are

Haven't updated in a while...

Got a nasty oil leak from the oil pan seal I need to fix....and a nasty rattle I keep hearing but cant track down.

With this school I'm in I've been super busy all week long and no motivation to work on the car when I'm off.... I graduate on the 16th though.... so woohoo.

Most recent purchase:

Projectors w/ 6k hids

Slow shipping.. jeebus.

Finally tracked down the rattle... and it's been fixed.

Maybe next weekend I'll do the oil pan...but this week and next week till Wednesday I will be SUPER busy with school.

Then I'm done with school and back to regular ole work.

Love the headlights minus the stupid little blue ricer daylight driving light. I didn't wire it up.... lol.


And I don't have the cut off I want due to no scatter shields. I don't know where I can find those....I'll google it later.

So just day time pics... the output is nothing to brag bout without scatter shields.

I like it.. I have always been a fan of the lights half way up. I wonder if that would mess with your HID?
