matt_240sx's S13 Build

[matt_240sx]

New wheels! Yay! Got a steal on these that I couldn't pass up. I'm gonna try to test fit them sometime soon just to see what they'll look like on the car after winter.

[matt_240sx]

Finally got me a new steering wheel.



Put it on right after I got it.







Now it doesn't look like a cat scratched the f*** out of my steering wheel. I'm happy.

Also, my car is sounding like a** now, thanks to a JB weld that blew off the header where the EGR pipe is supposed to go. Already ordered a taper plug for that. (I didn't JB weld it. Owner before me did.) Should be in soon. Yay!

Finally got around to test fitting my wheels. They do poke out a bit. Also realized that the rear tires are 245/45's. Fronts are 225/45. Way too big. I'm gonna have to order 205/45's all around or something after I use these tires.









Rear:





Front:

So, I put the wheels on officially the other day. Got some smaller tires for the front and put the 225/45's on the back and got 215/45's for now. Still barely fit under the wheel well. I need to put my arms on still lol.

The right rear rim is bent. Isn't holding air I'm going to the shop tomorrow and getting the dent bent back. Hopefully that will solve the leaking air problem.

Wheel still isn't holding air. Put it on a press and bent the lip back down a little bit. It's starting to piss me off. I'm going to see if the tire has a leak. If not I'm ordering a new wheel.

[matt_240sx]

Haven't updated this in like a month. Made some small changes.

So, finally got around to putting my RUCA's and rear toe arms on and went lower. Got the wheels cambered in for now so they don't rub the fender.. They were rubbing like a b**** before that. Also have new solid subframe bushings, risers, and traction rods to install soon!

















Also got this today, thanks to a friend. Looks much better in person. Don't mind the dirty bumper. Cleaning that tomorrow.







I need a better camera.

Thanks! Enjuku Racing if I recall correctly..

Nice build, looks good. Just wondering about how much was the transmission swap?

[S13AL]

Looks pretty clean, but that dent is gnarly in the driver qp. Plans on fixing it?

Thanks! All together, the price was around $300. transmission for $100, misc. parts $100, and a new clutch kit was around $100.

I'm thinking either body work or overfenders. Not entirely sure which yet.

Got my pig lip on!
