I doubt it. I bet his hatch is just like mine... a replacement from a recycler for a rusted hatch. He either got a black one or painted it black.

Hehe! It's just off a charcoal 240, to replace the hatch that had the nasty spoiler...

I post on 240sxforums a lot now, but I am going to try to post here again...it's just so hard to keep up with!

I checked out your cardomain site, very nice ride. That first set of Buddy Clubs just didn't look right on there.

My big question, then, would be why did you go from an RB20 to an NA KA?

Yeah, I think someone bought the RB out of the car (I'm assuming b/c of wiring problems)...the place I bought the car from kind of did things minimally and probably didn't want to take the time to wire the car up correctly with the RB, so they sold that and dropped in the DOHC KA, which they still only wired up enough to run...I'm not complaining, b/c KA parts are so much easier to find than RB parts, which is why I'd rather have a KA.

I know it's been a while! Things are great...I got a new job, so now I'll be making more money (once I get rid of this PINK EYE and actually be able to work)!! Gettin ready to get the turbo on there...all I need is the actual turbo itself so my friend can build the manifold accordingly, then I need some larger injectors, a fuel rail, a pump, a regulator, and an SAFC...

those kouki tails look great, but don't they typically sell as a set including the centerpiece? (although a hella expensive one) I've seen the sets for 500-600 or so, but it looks like you're just going one piece at a time. Did you get a good deal? Use Ebay?

They wouldn't happen to have an extra set would they? lol not bad, saving a few is always a good thing. Now for the sil-080 conversion right?

I'd love to have the CF cover, but I'm a little short of money right now, so for now I'm just getting the black panel.

That'll look hot...I couldn't stand to spend the price ClearCorners wants for those, but if I could custom make them, I would! Post pics when you're done.

zenki 180sx chasis code is RS13Just because a 180sx is kouki doesnt mean its type X. type X was a model for kouki. Just that everyone just calls kouki parts "type X" =|
