It's about damned time for me. My new 240 (no pics yet)

[jungle]

Hey fellahs.

After 2 previous 240's, 1 being a rust bucket, and the 2nd one getting into an accident, I pretty much gave up on 240's.

Then somehow I let my friend convince me into buying this sweet S13 hatch from an old lady up in long island.

It's a 91' 240sx, hatch back. Automatic* (5-speed transmission is on hold).

So far all the parts I've purchased are hand-me-down's, which I don't really mind for the time being.

-Rota Grids 16x6.5 in Bronze.-Kts Coilovers-Cusco Front and Rear strut bars.-Silvia front end with K's Aero.-Used magnaflow exhaust (my stock one fell off shortly after I installed the coilovers.....)

Yes, I've been a member on this damned forum since 2006 and it's the first time I think I'm posting up about my car.

So why exactly am I posting? Before I start modifying the vehicle any further, there are some things I want to fix/restore on the car.

I got most of the threads I need saved in my E-Mail, so I won't be asking for too much help.....yet.

Things that need to be done:

-Replace Windshield and Trim (water leaks.. bad)-Replace P/S Hose and/or P/S Pump-Replace Hatch lid-Fix the Timing Chain Rattle-Unseize(cease?) my coilovers-Shave down the surface rush thats forming-Prep my car and paint it (blue front end on a red car doesn't look too attractive)

Although I have a shop that I go to, recently I feel like I want to work on this hands on. BUT! I have a problem.

-No garage or anywhere to really work on my car.-No tools.-It would be nice to have someone help me on the side.

So any advice, or a helping hand would be greatly appreciated.

(If whitecomet would let me crash at his place for about a week and help me with this stuff would be awesome lol)

Although I would love to post up pics and whore this b**** out, my computer is dead at the moment.. so.. yeah..

Oh yeah!, My future plans for my car?-SR20 (a LS1 would be sweet though)-Full suspension upgrade-Bigger and wider tires-Exterior modification (MODIFY! - in reference to "Tokyo Mater")-etc etc

So yeah, if anyone in New York City would be kind enough to let me work at their garage, using their tools for free, because they're kind and super awesome, that'd be great.

But yeah, stay tuned!

Sounds like you've got some work ahead of you.You seem to be on the right track though What do you plan on using the car for exaclty? Drift? DD? Autocross?

[jungle]

well right now its my DD, and im hoping it'll be DD-friendly in the future as well... I'm thinking about doing minor drifting during events if I can learn to make this thing go sideways haha.

please no silvia front....they look terrible 99.9% of the time on hatchbacks. you have the best front available already on it. looking forward to pics, seems like a good start.

[jungle]

haha, well I've been trying to get the Sil-80 look for awhile now, so I think it's about time for me to actually go through with it.

I wanted to go with the Xenon lip on the shark nose at one point, but my boy is already rockin that look, so s***, why not? haha

I've heard it takes 4-6 hours to throw on the front, I've also heard it could take 2 days.. which is true?
