so as i posted earlier "project car/DD"



i have a few plans for any interested.

first as most people say "suspension"

* powered by max coilovers, multilinks, and knuckle kit (super steering angle kit"

motor (as previously mentioned)* CA18DET with a few mods such as intake, exhaust, cams, water and fuel pumps, flywheel, good BOV, headers, intake manifold, pistons.

interior* 10+ point roll cage* s14 seats* some sort of racing seat belt harness* momo steering wheel

exterior* some sort of cheap wide wheels* kouki tails* fog lights* custom brush guard * possibly wide body kit "possibly"

soooo, what does nico think???

yeah, i dont think i would go lsd, just cause a good one is quite pricey and i could go welded for free. and i think the custom brush guard makes it unique. cage can go either way

Between your sarcasm and repeat posts, something tells me you're not going to last long here.

no, a brush guard makes it look retarded, but to each his own.

The first thing I would do is paint the car a different color, but to each his own I guess.

Sounds like you need to read up a little and do your research. Why would you want such a complicated roll cage and S14 seats?

And CHEAP wide wheels? That is not the way to think about things. Anything "cheap" AND wide will be ugly. Unless you're in to the steel wheel look. Which will look pretty dumb in my opinion. Especially with all the other mods you listed.

But again, your car dude.

you know you could get a 300z vlsd for like 40 in the junk yard? I really think you need to do research before you star making contentious threads about the same things. I mean your pretty much asking for the flamage. IMO sell the hatch and buy a Civic.

hey Dana, next time don't quote the whole post, just quote what you want to be quoted. It makes the post look alot cleaner and less clutter.

And to the o.p. We are experienced 240 owners trying to give you good advice and you are just ignoring it. It seems you already have your mind set on your "build" and don't need or want our advice. Next time just don't post until your ready to actully listen to what we have to say.

yeah, umm..i wouldnt quite call that advice. when i meant cheap, maybe i should have been more specific for the misunderstood. how about "inexpensive".

and s14 seat=more comfortwelded diff.=free with better response brush guard could have been taken less dramatically like mabe "external bumper support"

just saying..

10+ point roll cage made me laugh, maybe it would be better if you filled the inside with pillows
