Keep in mind, I've still got wheels coming as well as flares. The whole car is going back to stock body, with just a chin spoiler on the front...

That was then for my car, this is now. Time to try something new (old). There will always be other 240s to build out there... To be honest, this one isn't the cleanest anyway. The day I pick up a clean SE, I will make a more appropriate car.

I hate it with a passion on some vehicles. If done right it kinda looks cool.

I kinda wanted a cressida a year or two back and have it all "bosoish".

Actually just wanted it dumped as fuk with crazy cambered out - offset wheels and exhaust boners.

hya! I like it!!!!!!!!So des ne!!!!! Now i dont feel aloneMy 85 corolla about 4 months ago was all bosozoku'd out from fenders to pipeing to oil cooler, Godfather horn ectect. but...1 fender came off because of the extremely strong winds in november.so im cleaning it up and getting ready for a 2 tone paint.I still have the stuff it takes like u said 5 mins to put on!my 240hatch has front red horns loland my s14 has r32 front and its reaaaaally Low!!people dont like my cars some love them. Put it this way: Its your car and your having fun with your car and your car tuning that to me its what matters and import lifestyle is all about. Now go rev it alittle to your fav song, thats how the gangs do it overseas. YANKEE MATTE!!

correct its not really "boso style" and the pipes alone shouldn't even classify a style for the vehicle. there just long straight pipes. I've seen another s13 with diesel truck sized exaust tips.

Dude, the way you talk.... Just...no..... It's like the anime kids in my japanese language class who add chan to the end of their names. And they mix japanese phrases with english beacuse ??it makes them seem cool?? Or like they post their random "kawaii" phrase all over jpop videos in romanji. Sorry it just irks me.... And its creepy.

i think the oil cooler setup actually runs the oil lines longer than they need to be run.

have you checked on your oil pressure? i'd like to know much it dropped.

Well I got a quote from Stockon Wheels. (They widen stock steelies to your measurements.)

For a 15X10 -30 and 15X10 -20, they will charge me $155 per wheel plus shipping.

Man, I need money.

I was looking at those, but at this point I want something with madd lip.

They will look more or less like this. They'll be temporary until I find something super baller, but they'll get the job done. You'll only be able to tell they're steelies if you're looking at them from the side anyways...



Should I just turn this into my build thread? Adrian if you see this, do you wanna change the thread title to something like , "Teddy's Boso Build Thread" or something please...?

ill take your old sportmax if you get those killer steelies haha !!!!!! that ish is crazy looking man, but honestly you say you need money why dont you save up to get a set of wheels you actually like. Instead of buying wheels that will do for now? Just a thought. Ive got to say ive always like your car, there is just something about it that tickles me...

Well right now I'm trying to trade my 501s for some 15" 002s. For now, I will run those with the flares with some massive spacers. Eventually, they'll become my drifting wheels...

Then I'll pick up the steelies, which honestly I think I'll keep. It is really hard to find good wheels for this project. At least the steelies will be the exact size I need them..

didnt read entire thread, so dont know whats been said...but you need to lower the front badly, and make the oil cooler look like you took longer than 45 secs to hook it up

aside from that the only thing is i prefer boso pipes even like that scion more than what youve got, but its doable how they are

we actually maxed the coils in the front.

since those pics, we removed the 2 bottom collars and lowered it more but its still not enough.
