So I figured I would show the .org my new project. Picked this up in ATL background and spec:
1991 S13.

230k on body

1.5k on engine/transmission

Bought with the sr20det already swapped and with some bolt ons
Greddy pullies
FMIC
Generic BOV
Autozone intake

The suspension is completely done.
Coilovers
front/rear sway bars
front strut tower bar.

Day 1:


Greeny put it best to describe the exterior "Musta been a he11 of a drug"











So the first order of business was to CLEAN everything.
I got out the bucket/sponge/razorblades/goo-gone and attacked the whole exterior, took off all the stickers, cleaned all the goo from the stickers that used to be on the car, washed the inside and out. Took out the rear seatbelts (no back seat but apparently the last owner didn't own a breaker bar???)

Once all that craziness was done, the name of the game was getting oem back on. The fenders on the front are duraflex... but they didn't fit right, around the door, around the front bumper, it needed to be sanded/cut to sit flush, and I don't really care for the duraflex, so it was back to stock oem fenders.

Also, obviously those paintball painted z32 rims had to go, picked up a set of motegi m118's...

Also figured paint was in order, so after sanding and prepping the body I did 7 coats of flat black plasti-dip.

here is the combo of all those:



After I got the wheels on, I saw they were not as flush as I like, 30mm spacers all around...



Time to do something about that cracked middle tail light...


Why not do a little jdm action.


blacked out the 3rd brake light too just for fun.

Time to turn my attention to the interior, that puke green....



so more flat black all around.



I thought that turned out pretty well.


Got an hks cold air intake to put on tomorrow...


also, if it is nice out, I will be putting another coat of plasti-dip on there and the clear coat...


stay tuned there is much more rowdiness from me to come.

(edit

Here she is big pic.

 

 

thanks fakie-mang

 

Nice to see someone fixing a car that some kid jdm'd out!

 

LOL


I like to call it "jdm-yo" where they buy a bunch of e-bay parts and do stupid stuff to the car whilst high on crappy sticks n stems mexican brick, then they throw their longboards in the car and pretend they understand cars.


real jdm is the buizness, like my 180sx center garnish. You buy dat stuff whilst sippin on black velvet, neat.

Glad you approve one guy

 

It's a start. Keep at it mang.

 

I'm just trying to be more like you mang

 

So your retrofitting that monster?

 

get her looking right mang!!!! steps in the right direction.

 

I am changin the headlights...

without givin too much away lemme just throw out 3 little letters

N. S. X.



Why thank you mang,

Up on deck looks-wise are:
30mm fender flares.
35% tint windows
rocketbunny wing.
and obviously get all the little bits n pieces such as the fog lights, rear side trim lights.

 

And this is why 240 owners are as bad as Honda owners. Yikes.

But she is in good hands now, and normally 240s will look completely different once the right owner gets hold of it.

 

Your words do me much honor moncef...

if my kung fu was half as strong as yours....

I would be a happy man

 

They are like honda owners... Except 240's can drift, drag, and vq!

 

Dis one mostly drift...


It has a wielded rear diff...


I speak from experience when I say she loooooves going sideways, its so much fun!

 

No driftness for you!

 

Is this a drift project then or just playin? Nice to see it coming around dude keep it up

 

It gonna be a light duty track car methinks... I like the look of a roll cage in the back with carpet and such in the front.

 

Went from to and soon to

Here is the hks intake I just installed.

 

this vehicle gets the chrome91 seal of approval

 

Did someone just cop some fly azz seats???




why,


why yes I did...

gonna get that wee hole taken care of but other than that, cherry...










well, blueberry actually.

 

Get recovered in suade or alacantra

 

alacantra, its what my dash is covered with.


Whooops fergot to post this up with the intro to the car. The guys from s3 mag did the dash of meh car a few years back.

http://s3mag.com/blog/?p=1731

 

I think you should redo in blue ostrage skin

 

It would match one of my man-thongs....

 

I had those seats in my mustang. If you drive anymore than an hour in that car I recommend getting the cushion insert for the bottom part. Unless that is you like your back wrecked

Good seats though. DO NOT GET THEM IN ANYTHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU SWEAT!!!! Mine were suede and being in 100+ weather with the inside of the car being hotter (stripped out racecar style) it is the most unpleasant thing. They will reek of all the chipotle you eat. I recommend either a plusher vinyl or a tough cloth.

 

In that case litch seats will smell like elderberry jam

 

Get rid of that trashy azz filter.

 

What part of that filter is trashy mang? I replaced the autozone "spectre" stuff

 

yeah prepare your booty for those seats, i had a Sparco pair like that in my 3rd gen. they suck on road trips lol

 

I vote for all fur interior. The plus sh#t. Like cruella's coat lookin. Seats, door panels, dash, headliner. Be like cheech and chong's custom interior.

 

I think I will re-do the seats with memory foam and a nice marine vinyl...
and I have full intention of putting carpet and a/c and such inside, so no full race for me... If i wanted that Ida kept the ae86.

I already have corbeau gt's in there now, at least on the driver's side. I can handle it, even with my stiff azz suspension...

Prolly not...maybe some fuzzy dice...

 

lol please don't do what i previously mentioned.. though that dash is nice. and i once had some fuzzy dice but my subs blew them to pieces as they rested upon the rear package deck

 

you sir have been hacked... or have multiple personality disorder...


either way, I am amused...

 

no sleep and medication my friend. it amuses me as well. lol

 

I sleep during the day, I work nights, and my medication is whiskey...
