kouki check in (s14)

[Persona]

These pictures dont really do the wheel justice, because of the flake, and lighting its so hard to get one i feel makes it look even close to how it does in person but i tried. (Yes i painted a nardi)So!

[Dittoz7]

i'm sure he photoshopped the dirt off haha

LOL

That Day We Took Off The Wheel To Put The Q45's On, But Seeing A Had Some Decent Pad Life Left, Decided To Wait Till I Get A Z32 BMC.

So Kinda Washed The Fenders So The Oily Black Finger Prints Won't Fck Up My Paint More Then It Already Is.

Plus I Like Dirty Wheels, Gives Something For People To Complain About.

:P

[brizanden]

i hate dirty wheels with a pasion when i see them i want to wipe all the break dust off and yell at the owners.

[Dittoz7]

I'll Take Some Pictures Of The Rear Ones Tomorrow.

Sh*t Looks Like Chocolate Christmas.

haha sometimes when i do tires on customer's cars at work they have dirty a** wheels...i'm tempted to clean them just cuz it drives me nuts when i see the s*** wipe off easily

[Frank E Bones]

+1 on hating dirty a** wheels. I feel the same about windows too, I cant stand having em dirty, or seeing other cars with windows that they cant even see through. At least clean the damn windshield

[jinxtacy]

Just picked one up this past Sunday. Has some issues (auto) and not very interesting, but I wanted a neat daily driver and Integras get stolen too much.

[brizanden]

i hate it the most when people buy like nice carts with the upgraded wheels from dealers or when people have aftermarket wheels and they never f***in clean them. im like wtf why waste the money if you dont care about it. seriously when i worked at the mall i wiped off peoples wheels everyday when i walked out from work lol. This acura tl type s i cleaned the front wheels like 6 times cause they were always black but the backs were clean as s*** lol. It looked like a two color wheel drift setup. I think i picked this habit up from working at a rich carwash and having all the rich people with nice a** cars never clean their wheels

[jinxtacy]

I feel bad for not cleaning the wheels for the pic now.

[brizanden]

eh your wheels are ugly anyway . whats goin on with the fd tho.

[jinxtacy]

I was putting the FD on hold until I fix the 240 up to daily driver status. Something is leaking oil on the exhaust side...oil filter was a lot of it, but it still seems to be leaking though not as heavily. It's so gunky in there. I went to town with engine degreaser so we'll see if I can find the leak. I hope it's nothing too bad since I just got it for a DD. I'm pulling off these KSport coilovers though as soon as I figure out a good spring shock (and apparently strut) combo. Looking for a stock muffler too. After I get the camber more reasonable I may donate the Volks off my FD to the 240. I've been eying black CE28s for the longest time for the RX7. Also have to figure out why my windshield wipers move freely and don't respond to the switch along with a window motor. It's quite a few headaches, but for $1500 I'm satisfied with the purchase.

I've been to lazy to take the jackstand out from under the RX7 to work on the 240 so I just bought a few new tools today (the weather was really nice) and will be pulling the turbos out tomorrow. I'm getting tired of looking at my turbo just looking at me in the house.

[spooled240]

not really, stock SE's up front and the FD hand me down's in the rear yeah? lol

gotta fix that exhaust tho, it's angled down like a gheyshia

Yeah I have practically brand new tires on my FD stockers and I picked the car up slammed and cambered out with worn tires and drove from Houston to Dallas on them so those tires were done.





I have to admit the FD wheels look way smaller on the car, but look pretty sharp in person. I still plan on giving the Volks (on the RX7) to the 240 and getting something lighter for the 7.

[brizanden]

i had that gunk oil buildup problem. it was my front main, but if its on just your exhaust side i would look into the valve cover leaking, mine was slightly. I tore everything off the engine awhile ago and cleaned with shop rags degresser and brake cleaner for like 4 hours. im surprised that my alternater still works there is so much grim in it cause it went thro all the holes lol, but 1500 for a kouki is a steal, better then how much i got mine for and hardly anyone has done that yet lol.

[Dazzla]

Lemme know if you find a way to fix the dent on the bottom of your exhaust. I've got a similiar one but its on the left side...I can't figure out how to fix it lol

[jinxtacy]

I don't think you fix those. I'm probably going to go with stock muffler from a junkyard or something since I just need the axle back. Automatics with exhaust are honestly quite embarrassing, I wouldn't expect much more from this car than an Apexi Noir, but I really want to hold out until this old motor lets go. I'm avoiding temptation to go and pick up a SR20 though. Maybe after I finish up the RX-7, but I doubt I'll ever really "finish" the RX7.

[motoman399]

I'm pulling off these KSport coilovers though as soon as I figure out a good spring shock (and apparently strut) combo.

hey i have a set of stock se struts for front with kyb gr2 struts in the rear with tanabe springs with tanabe top hats in the rear if you wanna trade????? they ride nice and are not blown at all. nice drop too.... just thought i would jump on it hopefully you will go for it lol.

[brizanden]

how much you wanting motoman? i need some new shocks

[motoman399]

how much you wanting motoman? i need some new shocks

im not really selling them. i just wanted to trade for some coilovers if he was looking for a good spring/strut combo.

brizanden- i have only one good spare one for the front and i think i have 2 rears from my SE. the other front is bent. (not on the set im trying to trade lol)

and ill make you a sweet deal if you want them.

edit: i have four spare front struts both driver sides are good and on the pass side one is bent the other has not dampening on rebound. but the second one is hardly noticeable lol

[brizanden]

nope lol. i already have agxs with eibach springs but my front are blown. i would stick with them over a bent one lol.

[motoman399]

good plan i would too. just thought i would throw it out there. how do you like the agx's?

[spooled240]

briz is your car bouncy like a mofo?

[jinxtacy]

Thanks for the offer, but I just bought a set of Tanabe springs earlier today. I still have some research to do on the suspension as I'm unfamiliar with what I need to do to adjust camber on these cars (need nothing for the FD). Thank you for bringing up the point that I'll be missing a lot of the upper accessories for the suspension. I may have to go to a junkyard and snatch a set of stock suspension off an S14. I tallied up like ~40 misc pieces needed. Think about how much that would cost at Nissan

I would've considered it if I hadn't purchased springs already though. Good luck in your search!

[brizanden]

briz is your car bouncy like a mofo?

no. but im getting megan coils for 250 bucks lmao. f***in i guess i broke down and am now becoming the typical 240 owner. megan wth is wrong with me lol.
