nice coupe, how may miles does it have? due you have any future swaps for it or are you gonna stick with the KA?

[240sx_s13_902]

nah no future swaps in mind, its got almost 225,000miles but still running great, it was babied its whole life, an old woman drove it for most of its life. regular oil changes etc. but i plan on doing a rebuild in the near future.

Hey, very clean 240 you got there! i was wondering if the valve cover was ever painted. Or if not that, how did u keep it in the good condition that it is? (what degreaser)

I'm glad to hear you're sticking with champagne.

[240sx_s13_902]

Yes i painted it recently, theres a coating of something on the top of it, and i scrubed at it with degreaser but its almost like the degreaser took off the top layer and it looked terrible. so when i cleaned up my calipers the other day i used some brake cleaner to get rid of any grease and a grinder (on the caliper) with a rigidmetal buff wheel and painted them with high temp paint, baked it on with a few big heavy duty lights and with the left over paint i sanded down the valve cover and gave it a nice spray. worked out quite well for around $15

[240sx_s13_902]

nice hatch, oh and i love the color

[jbracefan1977]

[240sx_s13_902]
