heres a bunch of pics of little mods and stuff ive done over christmas break, please comment if you like :)

picked up a pair of these wheels from jarco for $5.50 + ship WOOOT. 14x6 5 lug, got the tires out of the back of a gas station my friend works at, free mount too.



installed tein tie rod and end package over xmas break, heres a pic



also got my cusco RUCAs on



heres my sabelt 5 point camlock that i will install as soon as i get my roll bar, used off ebay for 40$. its out of date so i cant use it in much racing stuff but i am only going to do solo 2 this year. plus it looks RICEYYYY



i made a ghetto *** air intake out of home depot junk, all the pipe and crap cost like 5 bucks, 10 for the maf adaptor (which isnt the right size a la the bigass rubber ghetto rig pipe between the maf and the filter, gotta change out that part) and 40 for the gen-u-wine hks 200mm filter.



in case you didnt notice my filter was where my battery used to be, heres how it looks in the trunk



heres a shot of my bay with the battery moved and filter in



oh yea, check out my sweet new sponsor decals that i put on the other day

Good stuff.

You think you could do a DIY write up on your custom air intake?

There used to be one in the install page of 240sx.org but it doesn't exist anymore. Anyone know if it was moved? Just figured I would save some ppl time if you can find out what happended to the webpage.

my buddies air chisle, same way on other side too but its cool. Im goin to come back and sand it all down smooth before I repaint the bay, plus I gotta run the IC piping through there. I also plan on moving the filter further through that hole to pick up even more cold air.
