Definitely a drop. You mentioned a drift set of tires.. ditch anything heavy in the car. That gigantic sub box, back seat, anything you don't care to lose. Other than that I'd be thinking about freshening up the motor that's in it or maybe looking at a swap if it fits your budget.

[chris sx]

Yeah, i wanna get some sportmax 962's to throw on there and use the current set on the rear for drift. As far as droping it goes, Godspeed coilovers?

[93 Chuki FB]

i drift and im using godspeed coils, i also daily drive the car. After about 10k miles they still work fine, i would recommend them for a budget

[VietGQ]

how did u do the body work chris? was there big dents what did u do?

[Coombs]

I've heard good things about Godspeed I'd definitely check them out for the price.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Good things about Godspeed? Never knew there was such a thing.

Another 240 fallen victim...

Whoa my apologies! :oops: I meant to say the Koni systems. A lot of my buddies run the Koni yellow shocks and love them.. there are also Tein setups and the like.. but really for a budget there's not a good combination of quality and price imho. Save a few weeks and get the good stuff.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Okay, that's better.

[Coombs]

Thanks for catching that though lol. Almost looked like a dumbass.

To OP: any updates?

[rocksteady_racer]

Are you really going to keep that dual 12in sub box in the trunk lol. I got 1 10" sub in a sealed box and it's ludicrously loud - then again I don't have a back seat in my hatch lol

[k00laid83]

please tell me you welded up those holes up from using those kragen dent pullers and the holes from the wing. your body work doesn't look to bad just needs a little bit more sanding and feathering and it should come out alright.

[chris sx]

The Dents were pretty bad previous owner rubbed a pole and dented the whole passenger side of the car. I drilled out some holes and used a dent puller and a hammer, as for filling them goes bondo haha.
Yeah Im getting rid of those subs and the amp, I hate them. So I dont really wanna spend to much maybe 700-1000, godspeed isnt that great then? haha. Yeah some sanding would help alot I started sanding yesterday ill post updates of the body

[chris sx]

Ever herd of Isis?

[bersh240]

isis is basically the same as godspeed.
cheap coils are hit or miss.
they are manufactured bad.

whats so bad about godspeed??? im new to this ... i thought they were up and coming?? no???

[bersh240]

they are up and COMING.

but they still havnt come...

[Coombs]

Yeah, Godspeed has a lot of work to do. But I'm sure they'll get there eventually.

[motorsndesigns1307]

okay make sense ...thanks

[chris sx]

So I have found a pretty bad problem.
Last night I was with a few friends, we found some nice spots set up some cones and were having some fun.
After about 30 min of drifting I pull over and I'm getting this really nasty clanky sound.
So as it idles its making this sound and if I rev it to about 6k and hold it there for a min it fades away
and the sound eventually disappears in total. Imma swap it out soon anyway but as for now I don't have the cash.
Which is why my build is gonna be a little slow.
Here is some updates I did a little bit more sanding. still can use a little more.

[wOOt115]

Looking good. I really like the flat black.

[chris sx]

Update *new 5zigen Muffler* Frrreeeee lol

Ripped out interior and found something horrible......rust.
Grinded it down imma patch it.



What are these?


I also found a small oil leak

[bersh240]

those thingys are floor mat hooks.
lets see how long untill a toyota joke is made.

and do i spy new wheels?

[gigabit240]

Those little nail looking things in your picture are the floor mat holders. If your talking about the blue thing... I have no clue

[chris sx]

Well I ripped them out haha. Thanks though.
Im trying to sell those rear wheels 2 17" for 80$.
I was also thinking about a temp cutting of springs till
I can afford my coilovers. Any suggestions on that?

[laxands13]

yeah uhh cutting spring isn't good. don't do it

[chris sx]

Another update*
A few nights ago it was raining, so I went out with some friends drifting and I just threw
some doughnut spares on the back. well after some fun we headed back home and I
decided to speed past my friend doing 80+. little did I know there was a 15 mph turn ahead.
I tried to slow down and control the turn but the spares were not having it. I fish tailed
and slid off road into a field, got out of my car and i didn't see anything wrong. so I started it
back up and My friends helped push as I drove my dirt covered car out of the field. So far I have noticed nothing
wrong except that the alignment doesn't seem to be like it used to just off a hair. Other than
my car being covered in dirt I haven't noticed any difference in performance or any leaks.

[StryfeS13]

This is how Chris's 240 looks as of now...cleaning grime off of the $hit wheels, and waiting for a paycheck for coilovers...

- Subs are gone
- Interior is gone, no carpet, no back seats, only passenger and driver
- Fixed clicking noise in engine, no oil LOL

4x4 Status FTW.

[StryfeS13]

Hatch is wrecked.

Chris is getting a coupe in a few days/weeks.
updates and pics will be up.

[hatedinthemind]

So how did he wreck it and no oil? wow
