Hey, the build up of project akumu s13, and yes there are lots of pics

[Disrupter911]

hey man Im really loving your car. What kinda car is it? HAHA naw just kidding. You said that you cleaned the car up over the summer. Do you have any pics of your exterior. Or are the ones you posted the most recent. Either way, just get the rims a little more flush and you got one sexy a** 240

[Idahos13]

Hey man your build looks great that black 240 is sick!! But I have a question not to thread jack or anything but do you like those black headlights because it says they are only for show but I really like them , but it says they are not reflective or something like that, your info will be appreciated thanks.

looks good, i like.

[Sil80315]

everything you see in the engine bay was done by yours truely.

Ive done 5 full sr swaps now but this was my first s14 sr into s13 chassie, Looks pretty decent.

Hopefully in the next year or so i will be having a shop that not only installs these swaps but also distributes motors and accessories

Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have any questions.

thanks to those who like my car, but the engine bay pics i took literaly 20 min b4 i posted them, iv kinda neglected the bodywork i needed to get done so that i could get the motor running, and get some other things done, there is a small chance ill have the car painted/cleaned up b4 carlisle, but im not holding my breath, and to answer ur question, i think the black mirrored lights look cool as hell, but to be honest im thinking of selling them, cause u realy cant see s*** with them lol, i have 9000 hids and there are points when in the city or any semi lit place where i cant even tell if my lights r on, so personaly i dont recommend them, but if u do get some aftermarket ebay casing, just make sure u get some sort of sealant, or what not, i used fishing tank sealer, to go around the edges, cause water kept leaking in, and blew up a stock light bulb (thank god not my hid). and finaly, yes sil80315 does amazing work, if any of u other people want sr swaps, hes the goto guy in cuse, he did my s14-s13 wireharness, and everything else u see in the motor bay, he also was the one who cleaned and painted my bay.

[Idahos13]

Thanks I dont think im going to get them if you cant really see anything with them lol.

[Johnnydrifter22]

you should paint your wheels, gold, green, white any of those colors, they are soo plain

[newdude1]

Sweet car man.

Just sent you an email about something.

[Steady_One_S13]

Cool beans. It always good to know someone with mechanical and electrical skills. Black 240 looks good.

[MastaYu]

i like the engine bay

[bware113]

Beautiful that engine is truly clean

[dak0n]

thanks, i dunno, i thought about switching the wheels, but if id ever paint them, i think id do a gun metal like grey, with either a blue or silver ring around the edge, well u all should know what i mean, but for now, those rims r more then nice enough to rock! but yeah sil80 does amazing work, when i first saw the bay and motor i was like holy s*** hes created a monster lol

[SirSilvia]

if this is the truth zer...170201. glad you're ok, 2. SUE HIS AS* INTO A FIREY GRAVE!!!!

[OM3GA]

Holy s*** great outcome man! Yeah either get wheel spacers and lower it more/more camber, or get different wheels and lower it more/more camber! Super clean engine setup! Props for S14 SR!! Looking good so far! people gotta understand 240s are always a work in process lol!

[newdude1]

so is the car gone? I hope not it looked pretty good. And are you ok?

[Idahos13]

RIP 240Im sorry to hear this man your car was so clean, I hope you are ok and everything turns in your favor.

[OM3GA]

HOly f*** what the f*** happened holy s*** omg omg omg omg omg s*** f***ing s***

[Sil80315]

Yes the story is true. He was actually hit head on by the truck and the driver of the truck tryed to run after he hit Dak0n but dak0n friends caught they guy and when the cops showed up they arrested him.

The car is totaled and will be at my shop after the insurance guy checks it out and he buys it back from the insurance company.

Pics will come after with a possible part out

[sebazztard]

sorry about your car man, start looking forward to your next build and get better.

[Uberck]

[Sil80315]

[nightsauce]

sweet baby jesus what happened

[240sxDrifter17]

Oh man!!! Such a beautiful car, taken out. Damn. Good luck with your next build. You should get every cent back for that car from that drunk. Haha.Glad to hear you're okay too.

[SirSilvia]

sweet baby jesus what happened

zerothread?id=417020

[Sil80315]

yeah its sad. the insurance will prolly give him book value of the car which is over 2k but after he buys it back it will be lower then that. Im pretty sure he has a lawyer and do plan on suing the drunk bastard

[dak0n]

ya at this point there isnt a whole lot i can do : /, all i can do is start rebuilding with what i have left, the good news is though, everything from the doors back pritty much was untouched, the block itself wasnt hit, the front bumper some how survived with a few scratches, same with my lip which went against all science. i will say this though, people thought 4 point and 5 point harness's are a joke, well i didnt feel that s*** at all except for the wiplash the next day, those harness's strapped me to the seat and caused me no pain when smashing into him. i hate f***ing drunks, all they do is make my life miserable.... also on another note, kbb sais since my car (with my ka *wink wink) is a 93 and had 74k miles on it, its worth over 4k, and the insurance company might give me more depending on the reciets i have, all in all i need about 4-5k to get back to where i was, im gonna have to track down another 240, rebuild the motor, and replace the few things broken (mainly pipes ironicaly). now this is all assuming most of the damage was obvious damage and not the *hidden damages which tend to f*** everyone over. oh well looks like im missing carlisle this year -_-....

[SirSilvia]

you headlight except the lid was pretty much decimated. and who in their right mind said that harnesses would eff you up is a retard. Hope you get reimbursed for as much as you need. That guy needs sued and ajil time, F*CK that guy!!!

[dak0n]

the flip ups took more damage then anything other then teh right fender. but yes they said he was WAY over the drinking limit, and hes gonna get jail time, second was the payoff, unfortunatly since im not hurt -_- i cant realy sue him, but his insurance sais they r gonna remburce me not only for the car but alot of the stuff on it, plus when i buy back the car, i wont have to buy the majority of it, and i might come out of this with a few extra grand, and then again maybe not, ill find out soon. but now i think im jsut gonna go full 180sx, im gonna pick up the sideskirts and front bumper from the 180sx, and maybe if im lucky enough, find the back seats. if anyone knows anywhere other then ebay to find those please let me know, i also think im gonna go cf hatch and get another plain cf like i used to have. kinda go for a clean 180 type x look

[diggles240]

glad you are ok man. hopefully everything works out for you. if you are looking for a carbon fiber hatch, check with bumnah. i know he had one a little while ago. good luck with putting everything back together
