How's My 240 Look?

[elbles]

Hey guys,

Want some opinions on my 1990 . . . check the pics out, and feel free to vent. :-)

Oh, and some of those pics were taken this winter, I washed my car (it was in the 30's outside), but didn't wax it, so it didn't look quite as good.

[Holisticbeatz]

Wow, another stock S13..

[elbles]

Yes, I forgot to mention that it is, in fact, stock, but nonetheless, I think it's still a good looking car, and certainly a lot better than most stock S13's of the time. Forgive me for working 20 hours a week to pay the bills, all while attending high school, with the work load of AP/honors classes.

stock=clean=goodness

its been a while since i have seen a clean S13 im my area at least...

[Eklectrick]

Holy Jeebus those are some hi-rez pics. took forever to load on my cable connection. anyways, not much to comment on here. looks way nicer than my car, but it IS stock.

[vapor_skank]

yeah did take a while to load but thats a really clean hatch. Specially for a 13 year old car. Wish my 91 coupe was that clean.

[elbles]

Thanks for the comments. Sorry for the delay in loading, hosting them at home sucks (cable, but very slow uplink). Took me a while to find this car, and even then, it had a bad engine. :-)

Oh, and future plans? Borbet Type B wheels/BF Goodrich g Force T/A KDWS 205/55/16 tires (about $900 with shipping from Tire Rack, the alignment on the front is screwed up anyway, and the front tires are showing that fact). After that, hopefully a Silvia front end to replace the pig face. Then, maybe a SR (although my KA is only 2,000 miles old). :-)

Looks dandy to me, and red paint is a biotch to keep in good condition.

i've seen exactly 1 billion cars that look exactly like that. your car looks....plain....average. not in a bad way of course...just kind of bland.

[Kaioshin1982]

OMFG!?!?!!?! WHERE THE HELL do you get that thing to cover the storage area on the fast back!? how come my car doesnt have that! I need that part where its connected to the hatch so that it covers the storage area!!!!

what is that part called and where can i get one? probably nissan dealer right? please tell me!!

I agree that it definately looks clean man. But if you post pics and ask for an honest reply don't get offended if people don't appreciate a stock s13, because a modded s13 looks swEEt. Kudos on yours though, does looks good. Any complaining about 20 hours a week and high isn't valid, because I myself work 25 hours a week, plus a 10 hour a week internship, and full time college, and i'm sure many people have it worse than me. So keep up the good work, but don't get offended if you ask for opinions.

Hey so am I. Mine has the tip cut completely off and it doesn't retract anymore...time to head to the junk yard to find a new motor (and maybe antenna).

Nice car though--I really wanted a hatch, but ended up getting the coupe in the deeper red.

[Kevin613]

Dude... I'm in all AP classes in high school, attend a Vo-tech, I'm working 2 jobs and I can still manage to be doing an RB20 swap. In fact I should be done today. That's not a very good excuse. What's so great about a bone stock S13? It looks the exact same (w/ some exceptions) as every other S13 I see every day on my way to work.

i am too!:D mine had been replaced w a normal tall one, so i cut about 2ft.

[Kevin613]

okay there...

all u people dissin the dude for havin a stock 240 are bein real stupid..

sorry...

maybe he likes the original look of the 240???

maybe he doesnt think he needs to get a body kit, lowering springs, and a huge wing to look good???

or maybe he doesnt see the point of spending countless amounts of money on a car that he already loves the look of..

u people are wack sometimes..

i have a 240, and its pretty much stock, matter of fact all ive done is tint, exhaust, and cold air, but i LOVE how it looks. I wouldnt want it any other way...

not everyone wants a showcar..

[Kevin613]

oh and ya...

hondakiller..

" your car looks the same as every 240 I see on my way to work"

Werd!, sh*t, half the people on here have stock 240's, dont be dissing on the dude, just because he likes his car and wanted to post some pics up. no one said you have to have a modded car to post pics.

[elbles]

Maybe I should've been more clear, these are just pictures of my stock S13 that I had just washed and waxed. Looks pretty damn clean for a 1990, if you ask me, except for the front lip, which has been that way since I bought the car. I'll probably buy some paint from a local body shop, and refinish that piece myself. Thanks to all those who haven't had negative things to say about a stock S13. There's nothing wrong with a S13 from the factory. Yeah, maybe the wheels aren't the best looking, and yes, maybe the pig face isn't the prettiest, though I'm sure most of us would agree that it looks better than most Hondas out there. :-) But regardless, it's my car, and if you don't like it, fine. If you appreciate it, that's fine too. Like I've said, I'm going to do things to it, but I have $2,867.43 (exact figure :-)) left to pay off on my car, and I'm working as many hours as I can, while trying to maintain reasonable grades in all my classes, along with maintaining some sembelence of a life, meaning I barely have enough time to just "hang out", or even enjoy my car. To those who don't think my work load is tough, you haven't lived it. Not saying that you have it easy, but you have no right to say I do either. That's enough for now . . .

Oh, Kevin, I like the sub that's in my car. ;-) No, not earth shaking, but it's what I wanted. The bass in my car was weak, this just solved that problem.

[daniel240]

tell em elbles :rant

[elbles]

Heh, what can I say, it's the lawyer in me speaking (or maybe the Irish?). ;-)
