[Juanizzle]

Even though it needs some work, it still loops better than the mustang it's next too!

TAKE THAT BACK! it has cobra emblems on it! SO IT MUST BE A COBRA!

Okay brother Here is what I like:1. I like to see more brothers doing the damn thing with s13's2. Don't feel like you got beat out on the ride no matter what! it can get fixed.3. Take care of major stuff first in this order: Rust, Suspension, Brakes & rims , Powerplant choice, Interior and then body.The reason I love the silvia is that a lot of the brothers don't know about this car and when I take her in hood to get a hair cut I always get WTF! is that! I love the remarks like " dat sh(t looks like a old school bmw" ( I just bust up), Then when I tell them how much it costs, they look at there cars (Dodges, Hondas, Chevys and suv's with rims) and go Damn!, I could have had one those instead of this? Hell I got two brothers right now looking for Coupes and the onwer of the shop just got a 91'RX7 just to show me up! Anyways I like seeing more African americans doing the damn thing with the s13. Peace, and LONG LIVE NISSAN! P.S. don't get chrome rims before shocks and springs! Fight the urge! I did !

+1 on seeing more african americans with s13's. Welcome to the club

[JDspeed]

[IanS]

Glad to see someone else from the twin cities, not too many of us. Ill have to talk to Ajax, Ive been wanting to have one last meet before summer is over, that way you can meet the guys in the area.

Don't get chrome rims, period. You bought a Nissan, not a Chrysler.

[_spetznaz]

you cheetar! yea i just wanted to know cause im lookin for a 240 myself and im just soo dang rich that my max is 1700.. so i was seeing if gettin a cheap one is worth it, which it seems its fine.

[zerepdivad]

Looks like the car went into some good hands man. You're already taking care of the issues it has before trying to make it fast. Looks a lot better already, and i've seen some worse cars turn out great, so i'm sure it'll turn out just fine. Be sure to keep us updated though for sure. I hate when people only do one or 2 updates on projects like this.... But either way good luck with it and glad to see it got into some good hands.

[S13Teddy]

That radiator support is bbeeeennnttt.

Other than that you're doing a good job.

[bware113]

Your dents make me sad... G/L though looks like you've got work cut out for you...have fun man

Good luck fixing everything. Reminds me of my old hatch, it was the same color. The color is pretty rare only available in 93.

I also have a driverside door the same color in good shape if you are intrested in it.

Also nice Cobra parked next to you.

mediterranean blue just like my old one before i sold it..then it became rice

[24@sx]

nice im looking to get one myself

[offroadbob]

yo 24@sx stop upping your post count w/ the one and two word "thats sick" post something useful!!!!

[duffman1278]

Niice man, definitly gonna be some work for you. GL, post up pics of the progress

[notslow]

Wow, you got lots of work ahead of you but you are off to a more than good start. Im actually pretty stoked to see this after its restored cause I can tell that you are going to see this through, good job man.

[keith0486]

looks soo much better then before wow.

[Rick Damone Jr]

Holy ****! Doesnt even look like the same car.

[Beto-(S13)]

Good luck on your new car... hope you enjoy every single minute working and driving on it.

[Beto-(S13)]

By the way, how much does a 240SX (S13) in good condition cost in the us... I was thinking of buying one from a car auction, what do you guys recomend. I am limited to $5000 and I want to buy it a 1.5 Nismo LSD, Tein coilovers, Rota 17' wheels, some good tires, and hopefully the kouki tail light conversion... do you guys think it can be done with this amount of money?

Just in case... I'm from Costa Rica.

PURA VIDA

Good going with your car. Be careful getting new 'Alloy' wheels. Some are just as heavy as steel. Google 'Wheel Weight' to get a list of wheels sizes and weights.

I got my 240 in worse shape than yours and it's a lot better now, new seats and all.But I did start off with a manual in the first place.
