TheBlaiant's Ricetastic Build! [Now x2!]

[TheBlaiant]

What up Nico?
I've recently just came out of boot camp so now I'm a proud U.S. Navy Sailor. Right now I'm in Pensacola, FL awaiting my parents to arrive with my S13! So a little background of my 240: I bought the car in March of 2006 for $400 with a smashed QP, a good single cam, and surprisingly, a great interior with a working radio and A/C lol
This is what it looked like when I saw it for the first time


Fast forward to recently and this is how I left it in November before I left


Recently I've ordered:
Nismo motor mounts
NRG Gen 3 Quick Release(Purple)
NRG Short Hub
Deep dish wheel(purple)
Drift knob(ummm....purple)
AND a bubble shift knob!(guess the color.)
I'm gonna start saving up for a set Diamond Racing wheels and then start making my coilovers.
IDK how often I'l be updating this but hopfully each time it'll be full of goodies!

Real men go submarines.
Good stuff, moar pics.

Don't drink and drive. Don't drink underage. Always get 2 forms of ID. Keep it wrapped. Don't date/go home with navy chicks. Or any service chicks. Or servicemens wives. Or girlfriends. Don't skip out on a bill. No drugs. Take as many classes as you can. Ok, I've said my requisite senior guy stuff.


Pensacola has a decent Auto Hobby Shop. USE IT! Cheap cheap cheap lift time, plus a free tool room. Strike up conversations with the staff, they will be more than helpful in getting you whatever you want (like a place to deliver and stow your parts). Bring lots of bottled water out there. Lots of sunshine, lots of cement, very little shade.

Hit me up if you have any car or navy related questions.

[TheBlaiant]

[TheBlaiant]

So who's out here in VA? I'm at Naval Station Norfolk

[TheBlaiant]

Well no one cares but here's an update!





Hellasunk Status!

XXR 527's next.
Bronze or Silver?

[mudvayne9790]

what coils are those? Id say go with chromium black

[TheBlaiant]

D2's lol

Ehh....I think I might go with silver. I want purple lugs and I think it'll look awkward with bronze

[mudvayne9790]

yea silvers a good choice, I just want to see what the chromium blacks looks like on a car. lol

[TheBlaiant]

Look at the cheap 4-lugger thread page 6 or 7

[matt_240sx]

Nice car! I like the purple theme you have going there. As for the rims, get silver.

[TheBlaiant]

I wasn't planninng on buying these coils lol.
I was gonna build my own but this guy sold me these for cheap so I took them.
And they just happened to be purple lol

[xX RB Xx]

MMmMMMMMmM

Purple.
