I love it! White S13 coupes are my favs.

If you don't mind, how much did you have to give for it?

that thing is so clean.

i would never pop the hood to ANYBODY who knows where you live. that's how paranoid i would be with a car like that.

The interior needs love. You put all that money into the car and the interior doesn't have anything to give a good driving experience.If you're gonna spend money, spend it like you're driving a bimmer at least. Not that anything you got there is bad.

Thanks for all the compliments. ^_^ *ego boosted*

Na, don't mind. Got her for... $13.6k

Haha I dunno if I'm worried about getting the car jacked... we are well defended.

In regards to the interior... this is a track car. It's meant to be light-weight, currently sitting at 2640 lbs. on the scale (wet). Just need to wash her out. I'm going to be painting the roll cage here next week and will post pics for everyone. Any suggestions on color? Notice the 2008 Caddi CTS for daily driving. I'm loving these emoticons.

... i think that sums it up

Didn't this car make a couple magazine covers/features ? If so, PROPS !

Post by **mattblancarte** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 6:51 pm

Hasn't been in a mag... it may be worthy after I paint the roll cage, though.

Post by **brandonlgilbert** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 6:52 pm

Paint the cage the same gold as the gram lights. or......if you want to be different, paint it Mini Cooper electric blue. I love that color and it would be a neat contrast.

Post by **mattblancarte** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 6:53 pm

I agree on the gold color. My roomy and I were thinking gold or black.

Post by **brandonlgilbert** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 6:59 pm

Yeah gold would be best. I just spotted your GP Sports cooling panel.

Post by **heartofaskyline** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 7:00 pm

ya we noticed the the dd. but its gay. coupe rules

Post by **mattblancarte** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 7:03 pm

Indeed, the cooling panel is cool...

Haha ok heartofaskyline. Motor Trend car of the year is gay...

I'm not really down to drive the coupe in 110 degree weather being as it has no A/C

no the fact that you keep trying to draw attention to it is gay. no one cares obviously, no matter how many times you try and mention it

Post by **mattblancarte** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 7:38 pm

When I saw the car I didn't hesitate. I knew it was a good buy.

My only worry was that it wasn't what the guy said it was. Kind of like a "too good to be true" car scenario. I kept the faith and flew to Cali to check the car out. Long story short:

- Previous owner was CA Highway Patrolman and his supervisor told him he had to get rid of the car or he was fired. Had no question as to whether the guy was legit or not after I hung out with him. He spent all day with me making sure the car was as good as he said it was.

- Took it to McKinney Motorsports in Murrieta, CA to have them look it over. They gave it the guru blessing and I nearly shat myself.

I was like.... SOLD!

rofl seriously? You must make a lot of friends around here, heartofaskyline. I'll make sure to keep my cars to myself on this forum.

That being said, the only reason I mentioned it was to explain why I'm keeping the interior stripped. Sheesh...

Post by **AZ89two4Tsx** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 7:44 pm

Where are you dude? I hope to see you around sometime. That ride is sick. I bet it's even better in person!

ok thats understandable. at first i thought you were just trying to show off. ruff day at work

Post by **mattblancarte** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 7:50 pm

I'm up north. I hear there is a tuner meet up at the Harkins Cine Capri (101 and scottsdale road). Any meets or outings you're ever attending?

Post by **mattblancarte** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 7:52 pm

It's all good. I have those days, too.

I'm not gonna lie, I started the thread to show off the new 240.

Post by **heartofaskyline** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 7:55 pm

if you get bored with it i could maybe take it off your hands

I haven't heard of any shows down at the 101 before. Doesn't really matter though cause my car isn't really driveable and plus, I don't even have my permit yet so you won't be seeing me cruising in my car (but if you do don't tell anyone).

So your past the 101? I'm right over by Kierland.
