Post by **Koshin** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 1:11 pm

We hacked into it a little last night while I was at the shop...he called me earlier and said that he had the roof, hood, front fenders, and doors done..It took a good hit in the right rear at some point, I knew that when I bought it but you dont really know how bad it is until you get started...I am gonna be there all day tomorrow and Ill take mass pics..

Are you trying to get it back as close to stock as possible or are you doing other things?

Post by **S14toRPS13** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 2:34 pm

You're going through what every 240 owner have dreamnt of. I wish I could drop mine off and get all the dings out and then get a fresh paint job. How much is this going to cost you?

Absolutely excellent man, I can't wait to see the pics! What color did you choose? Are you gonna two tone it or is there any aero going on or like he said above just a straight OEM look?

Post by **lizmo** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 4:14 pm

Nice, i can't wait to see how it looks done after seeing how it looked before.

whatcha doing with it?

Post by **Koshin** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 12:30 am

I am doing it totally OEM...My car is a K car but it didnt come with the factory aero...I have even seen the Q's with factory aero but mine is the only K that I have seen that doesnt have it...So Im leaving it as it should be, OEM wing and all. All stock except for the Advans and the mods to the Esssaaarr. As far as cost goes, I traded a totalled '03 ZX-9R, and a couple hundred bucks....the catch is, I got the bike for FREE!!!! I am sick as a dog right now and will update tomorrow at some point when I get back from the shop....

I thought it might have been you sorry. lol

I asked because I had met a guy with a black Silvia K's that coincidently had the valve cover painted like the Japanese military flag (Kinda like the one in your avitar).

Sorry no pics. He had shown it to me on his phone though, it looked badass. Engine was completly built pretty sure it reved to 11k

I like the idea of the flag on the valve cover!! Never crossed my mind, when I build the head this winter Ill have it done...

A guy named Ryan from the Southside....I am doing two tone, dark charcoal and black, both flat...and Im having the advans painted to match (lip charcoal and the inner flat black)

It looks good in my head...someone should photoshop up an s13 for me
