jeez, how many miles are on that thing. it looks new. like it never finished assembly

[veilside180sx]

Actually iirc it has 170,000 miles. It has a lot of time invested in cleaning it all up. The motor will be equally as blingin'=) Polishing the front cover, valve cover, my custom intake manifold will be shiny already, also the turbo housing. Should be really nice, I also have a nice plug wire shield that is mirror polished too.

[Florida240sx]

I want it.

[veilside180sx]

ummm...looks like your already a 240 whore.=)

So am I as I have a hatch I got hit in(red car behind it), a hatch shell in the garage(need to sell) and then this new one.

[virus77]

its a nice color and very clean too, looks like you have alot of work ahead of you.

[Florida240sx]

I win because my coupe is a vert.

[hannibal]

Looks great! Thats a very clean shell...

[veilside180sx]

You know surprisingly I think the hardest part is cleaning things.

Ripping apart the suspension and motors of these things is actually quite easy.(as far as this stuff goes)

I'll document putting back together all of it, as to make it easier for others who are playing with this stuff.

[Structure240sx]

very clean and very nice

[turbo98_240sx]

You could eat off of that thing!! damn!!! dude, nice job

[turtl631]

Nice plans! Report how the JGS WG and BOV work, I will probably get them eventually myself. Instead of the whiteline sways, you might want to check out the Progress bars. They come with pillowball endlinks for less than you can get the whitelines+SPL pillowball endlinks.

[veilside180sx]

When you already have Whiteline bars, you run Whiteline.=)

If I was buying new, I agree the Progress are better.

I've been happy with everything I've purchased from Lance (JGS) so I'm sure they will both perform as expected.=) I will though review them when I get it all back together.

[nismofly]

you owe me a keyboard!

**** now i gotta clean this up...

[veilside180sx]

ROFL...=)

[veilside180sx]

These are pics of the suspension on the old red car (in background), much dirtier.=( New front lower control arms(with poly bushings) were added to this, as well as rear that were boxed on the bottom and powdercoated black.(with poly bushings)

[Nismo_Freak]

Old school SPL upper arms hehe.

[veilside180sx]

Yup I think I bought one of the last sets you guys had. Wish I would've gotten the Pro ones so they matched the rest, what I get for being cheap for once. I'll have to settle for powdercoating it black. (clashes with the D2's)

[sean8564]

I want to buy it

[veilside180sx]

I want to buy it

Not for sale=)

[Craving4Boost]

very clean and looks fun

[veilside180sx]

Pictures after todays progress...

Completed drivers corner



Clean diff cover=)



Rear spindles put together, will be installed on subframe tomorrow

[eddiec]

nothing but sweetness man.

could you post a pic of the rear arms that you "boxed"?

[veilside180sx]

Well I would, but they are at the powdercoaters. So as soon as I get them back I'll do that. It's basically a plate that is welded across the bottom side, with a hole cut in it for the sway bar mount. They are much stronger afterwards.

[eddiec]

nice. i look forward to it.

[hannibal]

Very nice. The rear suspension looks so good, I didnt even recognize it. Are there any stock pieces left to upgrade??

[veilside180sx]

The lower control arms need to upgraded, which I'll do eventually. As of now I'm to busy with the motor to put more into the suspension for awhile. The lowers do have ES bushings in them though, but I would love a set of SPL LCA's.

[veilside180sx]

The rear subframe is all put together, besides the LCA's. Hopefully they will come back soon, so I can finish. I'll probably throw on a old set in the mean time. So I can finish up the motor and drop it in.

[240sxHitman]

i love to see a start from stratch build up, looking good so far cant wait to see more
