ello ello niconauts, um well i been here since lik idk look on the side under my name. Time 4 the details. Bought a 91 coupe First 240 on the day b4 my nico join date. Sum1 ran into me those of y ou who remember my thread. I fixed it didnt drive it 4 long sold it. Moved to florida to start this dumbazz school entitled uti. Bought a black s14 down there. While doing something stupid i flipped that shat 3 times by flyin into a ditch. Now ive bought an 89 coupe from delaware w/ like 200k on the odo for 900. Came with a bodykit, needs a clutch, and headliner. Thats coming out soon but not now. Not b4 summer neways. So far ive collected a crap load of parts from a silvia conversion to sparco seats. Little by little ill be posting pics to get yall updated. And from then on just lots and lots of pics and details as to my build progresses. Expect updates around 3 times a week. So this is how it looked when i bought it:



Brought it home to ny sold the wheels tht were on it so now im rocking my friends 18's for the time being. Def looking to get rid of those. Plan on gettin 5 lug soon and im gonna be rocking some 04 tl solid 5 spoke wheels. But until then im gonna b on steelies.



Def got some more pics coming 2morro. Got a surprise

Thanks for viewing.

lol shut up three is better than none. I think ill put on 2 for now up front if i have time and im bored.

Some random pics of my parts.

my bricks, the foglight side is covered with 3m yellow film. And i got a yellow h3c bulb in there. Planing on gettin h4 hi/lo 5k hid's.

two sparco speed seats i got for 450 together. Good condition i was cleaning them up just now. Vaccum, lint brush, woolite carpet and uphosltery cleaner, and some air sanitizer. I bought it from a smoker who also owned a car. He had them in his house for a long time.



If any1 can identify this lip ill give them 5 bucks.

And my megan racing c-pillar bar which im gonna mount something onto (ill take pics of that later) 59 bucks shipped.



Ill update later again im about to go do some work on it.

theyre godspeed type ss btw. 595 shipped. i bought them from egay. Im not planing on track racing or nothing extensive so i dnt need expensive coilovers. And plus every1's got their comments and feelings about them so i guess ill be testing them out c how they perform and how long it takes to blow lol. And 4 those who wonder why i have three, one was stolen during shipment.

No, it's an Eclipse... Mitsubishi licensed Eagle(Chrysler) to rebadge the car... Those seats don't look like they'd be any fun to get in and out of. Good luck on the build and lets keep it wheels down this time...

lol shutup im gonna paint it back black. Nothing special really, but a good high quality gloss so it can shine for a long time. Thanks young240sx for those se wheels, you should come by next weekend and c the car in person.

UpdateGot some new pics put the front end and the lip on this past weekend. I had a problem with my headlights. Well i left my h4 bulbs at my apt in PA. So while i was wiring the fogs to just turn on 1 bulb got blown because it shorted. When my friend wired the h3 conversion in i guess the electrical tape just slipped right off into the headlight housing, bulb shorted long story short i used 2 white h3 bulbs from the dual projectors that came with the conversion. I wired those into the 3 prong harness that works the headlights and plugged the harness in and it works on high beam circuit for now. I took alot more pics but i left my camera in the car and im back in PA for the week now. So no more updates till about sat night. This weekend i plan on having my sparcos installed and if im bored ill put on my front coilovers. 1 of the rears were stolen so hopefully ill replace that next week or something. I also got my led gauge cluster bulbs. Word to the wise dont buy the UV blacklight led in single form, get the multiple led bulb i.e the 5 led bulb cause it wont b bright enough. It looks good though just too dim. And i have no shots of it, it wouldnt even register on the camera its so dark.

Heres some shots. I also got the 50/50 taillights, i didnt tell you guys about those. I ripped the sideskirts and rear valences off, hopefully ill be getting it painted soon, if not then i should have my seats and suspesnion installed b4 paint.









Most of yall who realize my avatar notice that i hate vw's so i got this.

Nice work on the build so far.

If those are dual halogen lenses, I believe the inner bulbs are the low beams, not a fog light. For duals, the inners are your low light, outer bulbs are high beams.

I believe only the silva projectors have a fog light with a yellow lens.

Nah its a foglight. The outside lense is h4 hi/lo. The inside bulbs are h3c which are usually foglight bulbs
