ZX88 type xXX build

[sean@z1]

That is super clean from the start most of the s chassis here are torn up, or rusted

[ZX88]

SUMMER OF 09 finnally time to install my type x stuff.

I had most of my type x aero sitting in my basment for about 3-4 months and now that the weather was getting warmer and school was ending i headed back home to jersey.

along with this waiting for me at home was this prettry peice of fence post welded togther by enjunku.hahahaa

isis pre production i guess duel straight pipe exhaust.

Dart izumi jr FTW

......



install was straight forward. Fitment was good. the exhaust sat a little low near the differental so it took some hose clamps to the hangers and it actually raised it about 3/4 of a inch.







good.

so i decided to next lower the car more to get rid of any wheel gap I had in the front. at this time i also relocated both fender harnesses and rolled both front fenders flat.maxed out the front coils

Hot. It is incredibly rare to see a S13 in such immaculate shape up there in the north, as you call it.

[spooled240]

is that exhaust loud? it's just...pipe lol

[Dittoz7]

^They Really Have To Start Making Those For The S14.

[ZX88]

so this summer it rained like crazy. it was ridiculous. I was ready to go to with painting my parts but it was crazy humid.

finally i got a break with the weather.

and the tear down for preping the type x aero was started.

i got a brand spanking new type x bumper and fender extensions

sick

ok soo....



like my ghetto lift. yeah me niether.

so the first time i painted the front bumper it came out like s***. for some reason i preped it wrong or it was too hot or hummid when i sprayed the paint never fully cured and would chip and peel very easily. so i drove it and it looked like pure s*** so i needed to redo it.

what a waste

here are some pics from the first time i painted to bumper,



as you can see the paint looked like s*** so i needed to respray it.

well next i bought used rear valences and a wing for a total of 220 for BOTH

rad



ew looks like s***.

here is a cool guy pic from filling up at the gas station lol

and got some dmax lights

with all the pieces on i noticed two things the car was missing exterior wise.

good paint....

and the type x lip.

since the lip was now discontinued i could not find a oem one without having to pay 400+

so i found this company modiride who made a frp replica for 175+shipping.

so i bought it.. and a month later after countless calls and s***ty customer service on modirides parts i recieved lip in one piece.

trew it on there







fitment was great.

repainted every thing and left the wing off for now i need to fill the holes fron the factory spoiler.

here are some pics from the day i had everything on minus the wing with fresh paint on the lip and front bumper.









And at D1 at e-town. my buddy steves imported mr2 and some guys skyline.







and well about a week after that i ran over my lip and cracked it in two.

so i fixed it.



well more to come soon.... interior segment part 2

[l2edken]

haha you were at englishtown? i remember seeing the skyline for sale then your car and skipped right over the skyline haha, good exhaust clip too, i wish more exhaust clips were like yours haha

[slipipinoi]

s13 kouki FTW! your car is sooo clean, i wish i could get fresh paint on my car ):

[IDRFT95S14]

sounds good man

[nevertheless]

Is that a TL in the garage? Your car is shuper shweet.

[White Comet]

looks good. the type x front looks so much better with the lip, which i'll pick up eventually, but i wont settle for a fiberglass one

[safin]

[spooled240]

damn that exhaust is pretty quite for being a straight pipe, sounds good

[ZX88]

yeah surprisingly its reasonably quiet. just a bit louder than the n1 i had on it before. but it definitely pops more. i back fired in front of a cop once and i thought he would pull my over.

[240lookis]

haha ya. the "i think hes going to pull me over" happens a lot.

i like your car man. looks really nice and clean.

[spooled240]

^that's one of the worst feelings from the bottom of my gut XP

[240lookis]

ya cops pulled me over way too much when i was running my 15s with -5 camber out back and scraping everything. i learned to just pull over and give them some space

[fourLUG_hero]

New Jersey is on the come-up, surprisingly.

[White Comet]

oh btw, i dont want to thread jack but i saw it was asked on the last page; i did drill into my rockers for the sideskirts

[tEknoS13]

Yea that would be me, as you can see I'm still with that lol. Im gonna do it like it was meant to be, hopefully I don't eff' somethig up.

[ZX88]

NIGHT AND DAY.

installed a tomei t-trax 2way today and all i can say is i wish i did this sooner. the car responses is so awesome, and now i can actually hold a drift. jhahaha

and some fall pics



painted the wing today but no pics

[Steady_One_S13]

That diff looks sweet. I bet your ride handles awesome. Btw, nice pics of the ride.

[Steady_One_S13]

put a little bit of paint on the plastic nubs and have some one help you hold it against the car, line it up right and when you pull it away there'll be little paint marks for where to drill.

i like the fall pics, and good job on getting the tomei, i love the feel of them

[mRodiek]

Aw, I miss fall.
