hello guys:)

I've had this 240 a little over a month now. Just doing wheels, brakes, suspension, and LSD. I'm still waiting for my rotors and lines to come in, but here's what i've done so far...

The car's not done right now. It'll be done by friday and have some new wheels on it. Then it'll be aligned and corner weight balanced. Then i'll be off to SC for an event.

The first thing i installed were the coilovers and I like them alot. for the price you pay for them, I think megan's are good. Not the best, but definitely not "crap" as i've seen people say on the board.

I still haven't adjusted them yet. I've doing changes to the car day in and out. When i'm done with the brakes, I'll have the car aligned and actually see how it feels. I still have to break in the LSD as well.

You call that a lot of rust? LOL. I should post pictures of my 2nd 240 then you'll know what rust really is.

I believe the sways are 30mm front and 27mm rear. I could be wrong though.

Nice parts on there but the next investment should be some paint, sand paper and new carpet.

Thanks for the thoughts guys.

I'm doing the paint during my motor swap along with a front end conversion. The carpet is coming out sooner or later. That reminds to me pull the rear seat out.

I don't have any more pictures of the car at the moment. But you guys can refer to this link. I bought the car off nico club.

zerothread?id=213698

It was bone stock when I bought it and it was well maintained by an older gentleman.

It needed a few things like tires and struts, but it's all good now. I got rid of the white hub caps the first thing!! I've only put 280miles on the car. I remember setting the trip meter when I drove it from the seller.

I'll have more pictures of the car this week. The car needs to be washed too so..yea

s14, there's a place called hackensack springs in hackensack NJ. They do machine alignments and corner weight balancing. I'm going to give them a try next week. I've heard many good things about them from a few supra guys.
