^^ exactly. if you go with widebody without new wheels, this build will fail.

Bronze gravity gullflames would look sick on that if they make them in lower offsets. I'm thinking vs-xx

Ha I saw that yesterday when he made the post... I wasn't gonna say anything because im trying to be less negative on here.

Plus I wanted to see if anyone else would notice...

I wouldn't think of that as negative at all, its not flaming him to tell him those slides adjust camber and face left to right

I had to lower the back suspension the other day, wish I had known about the fronts since I was in a working mood.

Had the back like an inch higher than the front giving it a muscle car look, but with the bodykit on it was scrapping the front to much. This ebay kit wont stand up to much scrapping...

that car looks familiar, same body... are the rear wheels the same as the front? there was a white hatch with the same head lights here in wichita. i think those headlights would look better if they were recessed and had that glass cover over them. there has to be apic of what im talkin about, and with your skills you could easily make us some

I think it looks cool.

I have seen that kit one time, It was pretty sweet. The guy kept the stock pop ups but smoked them out so when they were up they looked black still. I was like whoaaaa.

He had the Rx-7 lights smoked out as well. I am not a fan of smoked out stuff but it looked pretty cool.

Any who, Keep up the good work. You are getting good experience with the body molding and whatnot.

One Love,

Ghasty

OP I would like to give props to you for having the ugliest 240 I have seen since the start of `09.

But I mean what can I say. I should have expected it.

You can't even install your coilovers PROPERLY.

That actually doesn't look awful. It definitely looks like you spent a lot of time fitting it. Cant wait to see the final product!

Engine bay is decent/sweet, needs a bit of tucking. I'm jealous of that IC piping.

With the regular headlight covers and maybe an FC bumper it would look better i think. Make it work it's your car mang!

-Lol at coilovers, skipped half the posts!

HEY HEY HEY be nice guys maybe he's changing his caster at the same time
