[SunniSwagger]

[Idahos13]

I have eibach sportline pro springs. I have not cut them yet...

Alot of people say cut springs are not that bad plenty of people cut their springs all the time. I would say go for it!

[Idahos13]

Well guys I'm back with an update!

Well I went down to Arizona for a while, got a lot of lug nuts. I mean like 4 sets for 5 bucks! So I have my tuner style lugs now for my rims.

I got my rims but I still have not put them on, kinda waiting till I get coilovers to put them on.
Today I detailed my car a little bit, and put on my rear mudflaps finally. I had to use zip ties thow FTL! I couldn't find the hardware for the rear ones.

Here are some pics I took today.

















Enjoy! I should be updating again soon!

You need some new seats and harness' to match the quick release wheel, also might I suggest a shirt throw shifter and a Nismo dildo knob.

[Mychal]

i look forward to following this build
nice bro

I like the steering wheel height. Just tilt it a little more and it would be just like driving a bus!
Haha just giving you s*** man nice wheel though.

Hey guys its been a while. Well I havent really done anything to my car, I have just been driving it/mantainance. But Today my paint on my front bumper was looking really crappy, so I prepped the verry bottom of my bumper and painted it with some white spray paint that I already touched up my front bumper with previously. I also took out my grill inserts and painted them black. They were also looking crappy. I have been thinking about cleaning up my engine bay, like getting rid of emmission things and useless junk so my bay will look cleaner. I have searched on here but I cant find the thread where it shows you what you can remove for your emissions, so if anyone can find that could you please post a link for me. It would be much appreciated.
Here are some recent pics for ya guys! sorry its not really anything new.





I thought this pic was cool for some reason.

there is this. i ordered a egr block off plate and also a plug to go in my new header. i read that the drain plug from an audi 4.2 is the correct thread pitch for the egr bung. i read that its an m24 x 1.50.

[Idahos13]

Thanks man I appreciate it!

[darens13]

yeah i will check how that plug fits. i ordered it last night so when i get it i will post in this thread to verify how it fits.

[Idahos13]

Alright sweet deal, let me know.

[Idahos13]

Hey guys, I have been trying to make my car look cleaner these days. First thing I did was I had white paint overspray on my headlight bazles so I wet sanded them till there was no more white overspray. I also put back on my passenger side rear mudflap, It just did not want to stay on before. I used zip ties to put on my rear mudflaps. I would really like some original mounting hardware so they would be solid. I also painted the bottom of my bumper because the paint was chipping really bad. Then I took out my grill inserts on the front bumper and sanded them, because they have been painted white and then black again and the paint was also chipping, so I painted them flat black.

Today I painted all of my calipers Gloss Cherry Red, I think it turned out well!
Before




During the painting process. I didn't have time to take off my calipers so I just maksked them well.




And after.


Thanks for looking guys! I will try to update when I get some more stuff done!

[darens13]

i got that plug today, it doesnt fit.... im gonna go to some fastener stores and see if i can get something that will fit.

[terry_240sx]

hey how is the red paint on the calipers holding up?
i was thinking about getting spray on stuff instead of the brush on but was worried about it just flaking off or something.

the 240 is lookin great, now get those wheels on!!

[Idahos13]

Paint is holding up great so far. Hopefully I will have some more updates soon.

[terry_240sx]

Paint is holding up great so far.

Good! because i just used the spray on brake caliper paint to spray mines.
Keep these updates coming!

[Idahos13]

Thats good man! I will try to get some updates here soon

[Idahos13]

Well my clutch has been slipping for a while now, only when my engine gets warm so I bled my clutch lines a few times.. It would be better for like a day then back to slipping.. So I adjusted my clutch pedal worked for a day or two then started slipping.. So I knew I had to be getting air in my lines somewhere, so I started looking and what did I find? a Leaky clutch line hose. I was thinking about buying a SS clutch hose, but It was not in my budget for now so I went down to Autozone and ordered the hose. I picked up the hose today after I got out of school and installed it. Here are some pics of the new hose and me being in the process of bleeding it. After I got all of the bleeding done I drove it around got my engine hot and it does not slip


Thats it for now, thanks for looking and enjoy!

You just saved me the time of having to go through the same situation. I am also looking for two plugs for my DC Sport headers.
Please let me know what size the threading is so I can go out and get it as well. :]

[Idahos13]

Hey guys my engine bay has been really dirty so I decided I would clean it up a bit. I also cleaned my air filter, let me tell you it was DIRTY!! Here are some pics

I put on my Nismo Oil Filler Cap for s*** and giggles.

[Idahos13]

Well yesterday I removed my Charcoal canister and plugged off all of the vacum lines.


Then I put her back together.

Took her for a spin and she ran just fine!
Bay shot!

Today I got tired of looking at that nasty fuel hose coming from my fuel filter so I got some new fuel hose.
Pic of nasty electrical taped hose that had electrical tape clamped to the hose with hose clamps. I'm guessing there was something wrong with the hose lol.

New hose on.

And I got two electric fans for free

One is inside the box still.
Enjoy!

[Idahos13]

Alright so recently I have removed my AC pump and bracket from my block, and my clutch fan. I decided I wanted to have an electric fan for a cleaner look and maybe feel some more power from my engine.
Here are some pics I took of my car recently.
My interior as of recently. I got rid of the suede on the center console arm rest.


Painted my white passenger side mirror black.


Pictures of the KA!




Thats it as of recently. Im going to be trying to clean up my bay some more. Enjoy!

[SkyS13Walker]

NA KA24DE......Now here is someone i Can ask Questions to.....I like how SHE lookin

[Idahos13]

Thanks man!
So my radiator hose kept leaking where the thermostatic switch probe wire was routed, so I tightened the hose clamp some more and jiggled my hose and this is what happened...


So I went to Autozone and bought me a new one for $110

Then a picture of it after I got the job done.

[darens13]

that blows, but at least you didn't get stranded somewhere!

[240hatchsx]

Yeah same thing happened to me when I was putting some new silicone hoses lucky for me my 240 was still an extra car I had and redid my entire cooling system when it happen thanksgiving last year. Enjoyed this entire build tread I still haven't started my yet but loving the fact that you got a white hatch as well keep up the good work

[Idahos13]

Well today I helped my friend with cutting his swift lowering springs on his te72 corolla. And the leftover spring coils he cut off we used as tow hook charms.
Pictures:



I thought it was a prety sweet tow hook charm. Atleast this one will be harder to steal compared to my honda emblem one
