Whatever you want to say about coils, on normal roads I'm less likely to push closer to the limit for fear of a bump losing all my traction. I wish everyone could try a koni/GC car so they could compare. I mean its 2 different things, coils go low, konis handle

yeah 29K...owned by some old fart original-owner 19-year BMW employee that told me he'd NEVER buy a bimmer ...when I went down to ATL to cop the car, he couldn't keep up when I was pushing the rental Hyundai...on the test drive he almost pissed his pants when I hit the onramp to I85..."uhhh...you might want to slow down some!"

Plans.....factory purple....keep it KA (maybe boost it), make it a suspension champ, oem jdm aero, some R33 wheels; until I hit 100K....hoping that should take me at least 7 years...then maybe an engine swap....RB25...or wait to see what nissan has up its sleeves for the next S chassis.

My last 240 was the two tone cream/gray S13 coupe with an SR swap...very fun to drive, but owning it became a hassle in Northern Virginia...wish I was down here in SC...no emissions (or safety) FTMFW.

dropped 7500 on it...I thought it was a decent deal with such low miles on a one owner vehicle that had been babied its whole life. Have every single receipt...even the original window sticker from the dealer and the brochure.

Thats one hell of a deal, I payed $7,500 for mine, but i'd say the outside is cleaner then any 240 on nico. Not one scratch, dent, or anything. Not even on the front bumper.

Gracer lip installed, I still might paint it but it's black/unpainted right now: my car looks evil!
One of my friends on a local forum has that lip on his red Kouki in black. Keep it that way, it looks the sex...

Disregard the Gay-Sol in the background...

I think you should paint most of it red, and leave the bottom tiny bit, maybe 2 or 3 inches from the bottom, matte black. So your like giving the lip a lip lmao

if you give it a thin gloss black pinstripe to separate the two colors, itl look pretty good i think

the lip matches my black grill thingy I made and it looks sechs on red

as far as lowering, the roads out here suck! I drove to the junkyard yesterday out in the boonies and lemme just say I was glad that my car made it through the big dips and dirt roads.. and it's still lowered 2"
