Introduction

[Silvia_Drift]

Hi guys, I just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Ramesh and I live in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada (near Toronto). I am 20 years old and am attending the University of Toronto.

I currently own a '93 240sx vert which I use for my daily car and a '90 240sx Coupe KA-T which I use as my beater. Here is some pics of my recently aquired vert:



And here is my KA-T Coupe when it used to look good lol:

Let me know what you guys think.

[Eikon]

Very hot 'vert!

I love the silvia front end. What front bumper is that?

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I paid quite a bit for the car. Came to about $7300 Canadian. I didn't mind since I wanted a clean car with no rust...in other words, a good platform to start modding. I do need to start working on the interior, since its clearly showing its age.

I have a been lurking the vert forums for a while. I am taking after AZhitman in my approach to modding by returning the condition to brand new before I start tacking on more mods. All I have done is clean up the car a bit and put on some parts I had laying around (25mm and 30mm wheel spacers and a STB). The rest of the car is came as you see it.

Oh, and the bumper is Vertex.

Clean Ride!!!!

I got the same Kit!

[houdini]

Nice rides! Very clean!

[DeXteR]

YES!

another REAL canadian. sadly, i think we share the same lattitude (it's really close).

nice car.

[Silvia_Drift]

Hey guys, time for a little update. I swapped in some better condition S13 leathers that my buddy gave me for free. The slushbox also started acting up so I got the car swapped to five speed. Here are some pics:



The driveshaft is ugly and rusty because its from a piece of **** Canadian 240. Oh well lol.

[94_240sx]

Good job on 5-speed swap. I think I recognize this car. Previous owner used to post here before. Yeah, you need rear valences. <-- Same thing I said to previous owner.

[S-13]

Good to see another canadian vert! Both your cars look sick Did you go to canadian tire to get your 5spd swap???

Lol, yea I did. A really good friend of mine works there and hes the only person I trust to work on my car.

Ahh so this is Halo's vert.

BTW welcome to Nico. Both S13s are nice. I wish I had a coupe also...

[94_240sx]

Ahh so this is Halo's vert.

Dang!! This guy has a good memory... Halo. Yup! It used to be his.

[Silvia_Drift]

Yep, this was Halo's old car. I have done quite a few mods sinec I got it on May 19th though. I did 30mm spacers, Tein Flex coilovers, 5spd swap, and ghetto S13 leathers. I'm very happy with the car. Next on the list is a triangulated STB. I'm just waiting for AZhitman to finish making them .

So, I guess its time for a little update.

I took the vert to the track and this happened:



It wasn't the motor even though it looks like oil lol. Its just really dirty coolant. I bought a new Koyo and Nismo Engine/transmission mounts.



I also got one of AZhitman's STBs but haven't taken a pic yet.

[Kristine]

*drools*

love it.

[S13xCrazy]

wow both of your cars are so clean! i love em!

[Silvia_Drift]

I haven't updated for a while but its only cause I don't have many pics :S. My camera got stolen/lost so I had to use my cam phone. Here are a few pics of me installing the rad and mounts. I also got some wheels with R comps for the track and sold my kat coupe. Don't mind the stock suspension on the car. It has been resting for the winter so I wanted to take the opportunity to clean and grease up my coilovers.



I know how much you guys love pictures so here are a few older pics that I found that I never posted on this site.



Once spring rolls around, I'll post many more pictures.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure the sides are the OEM Silvia skirts that come in Japan.

[94_240sx]

Thanks. I'm pretty sure the sides are the OEM Silvia skirts that come in Japan.

That's 180sx OEM "droopy" side skirts.

Looking good. You are taking good take care of it.

[Eikon]

Man I love your car!

I've got a vertex body kit myself and I'm hoping to have it installed this spring.

Mine will be black to contrast your white.

Keep up the good work!

[Silvia_Drift]

You're asking me and not 94_240sx right?

Well I eventually want to go 5 lug but probably not this summer. I'm saving my money just incase I blow the KA at the track and need to buy an sr.

sweet vert and good progress so far, nice to see another Canadian on the vertforum

[squonk]

I'm not sure if I dig the headlights... I much prefer the traditional style.

I thought the vert was made in Cali? Am I wrong about this?
