Anyone have any ideas on how I should get the dent out of the front left fender? It looks a little worse in person than in pictures...

heat it up (so the paint doesnt crack)then with a rubber mallet slowly tap it.

it'll look like crap. but it'll pop it out right? haha.

glad to see another 16 year old on here like myself.but i'm car-less as of now. =] (no i didnt crash, i sold it because of rust)

[rbcardz]

Us 16 year olds must be a rare breed on here haha.

i dunno. haha.i've been into cars since i was 9.

i remember, i was handed a Superstreet Mag with whole bunch of girls and cars and boom. i was a wee 9 year old ricer. my brother got a 240 when i was 12 and i fell out of the rice scene.

like i said, good luck with your 240. treat it right. (cause its super clean!)

the only reason 16 year olds are rare is because many are too stupid to come on the forums n learn how to do things right!we can totally help you dude, i even have a KA 5speed id be willing to sell you when ever your ready lemme know. and the manual swap should be your first priority-if you bought the car, your rents cant do much can they?

intake/exhaust will give you a couple extra HP but you wont be able to feel it at all..listen to us! lol wheels are cool but wait til you get some coils first

[rbcardz]

I'll give you a shout when I'm ready to swap, if you still have it. Where is my best bet for a set of good cheap coilovers? And for rims i'm thinking 16' or probably 17' gloss black with a chrome lip... Any suggestions?

[mRodiek]

if you wanna do things right the first time and have awesome coils...get PBM's. $1k..but thats really not too expensive compared to others and they are high quality..search for PBM [powered by max] or go to-- http://www.gtfactory.jp/cms/page.php?5

everyone loves them..i plan on some after i get my engine in & running

[driven_]

or if youre super poor like me *which i doubt. :P

then get some used but branded stuff.

used stance, maybe pbm too,

nothing wrong with used. as long as its not abused/broken right?

amen.i told my brother (who's 17) to get on forums. and do some self-serve knowledge. but he doesnt want to.

[EnjoiNismo]

holy sheeet, that is one clean coupe!!

[mRodiek]

yeah my bro is 16..and im only 19 but i keep tellin him to! he doesnt listen..nope just buys energy drinks and has to ask someone for a ride everywhere. i tell him $500 and he can have a nice S13 we can build for himbut no...

I was VERY surprised at how fast it was for 155hp. It also corners amazingly.

haha you do realize that the crank horsepower is 155?

that doesnt take into account 15 plus years of drive train loss

you probably have about 100 or so left

car sure is clean thou, do alot of research and keep it that clean

[rbcardz]

This may sound like a stupid question, but is this car safe? NHTSA gives it a 5 star driver frontal crash test rating and a 4 star passenger rating. It actually got the same ratings as my mom's volvo 850...

yeah, alot of those horses die.

<<ignore the "repost." i just thought we needed a dead horse. :P

So, ive been thinking that I will probably just hold off on performance upgrades, until I have enough money to do the sr20det and 5-speed swap at the same time. For now I will try to just get a nice set of rims/tires, sound system and maybe coilovers.

Anyone have any recommendations for a nice set HID lights? I would like a nice bright set but I don't want them to be too bright were they blind other drivers.

DDM Tuning life time warranty and plug and play setup really easy to do . Prices are fair too they went up little cause every one was trying to get them so they just came back into stock .

Don't do HID's man, unless you don't care about other drivers on the road. Buy some silver stars and you will be happy.

When you get ready to put wheels on it are you going to sell your stock wheels? I would like to buy them if you replace them. Just putting that out there.

Car looks very very clean man, I wish i could find a clean coupe like that in my area. There is currently a chick selling a coupe for 325 but the block is cracked and that does not bother me because i am just going to put the KA from my hatch in it, but she has not contacted me back.

Beautiful car man, keep it that way.

So, I tried the new capacitor with no success.... So now i'm looking for a digital cluster for under $100 or an analog for under $40. I've looked on ebay and the classifieds on NICO and I haven't found anything that isn't too much or that hasnt been sold... If anyone could point me in the direction of one it would be GREATLY appreciated.
