My 95 240 build. I'm a Newb! Lots of pics. SO NO 56K!

[240-SRT-4]

oh. No, I have just been focused on getting the car back together and a engine in it and running. only thing I have done to the engine is the valve cover gasket and the spark plug gaskets and a water pump. hopefully it'll last me until Marchish... then it'll be coming back out for a full build and a turbo with a AMS head if not a full long block... honestly though.. I want to get it looking good first.

[240-SRT-4]

I figured I'ld post a few pics... some is Cell Phone pics so sorry in advance...

[spooled240]

[240-SRT-4]

how much? I love your car btw..... trade you my srt for it... lol

[240-SRT-4]

yeah.. I got the car as a roller.. with no engine, suspension, and alot of other small parts... so yeah there was nothing in the bay when i painted.. and i just used rustoleum... It's a toy for now so It just has to look decent... the next one will be more top shelf!!!

100.00 dollar kouki conversion... god hates me

[240-SRT-4]

nah.. he just loves me!!!! lol sometimes.. I'm ready to get this car done.. I'll be suffering from the holidays until i get some tax money

[240-SRT-4]

Nico Bro's i been thinking about getting rid of the 5 lug stuff to get a set of four lug wheels to throw on my car... Ima take all the four lug parts off my other 240.. am I stupid for this? and can 4 lug wheels be found wide enough and in a good offset like the 5 lugs I've found?

[simmode1]

can 4 lug wheels be found wide enough and in a good offset like the 5 lugs I've found?

Yes. On the cheap side, you can find 18x9 inch wheels from XXR or 18x9.5 from Rota. The XXr's are need spacers due to their +35 offset but they can look good. Rota's P45R and Torque are available in 18x9.5+15 I believe...

On the pricier side, you can get wide wheels from SSR and Work, too.

There are more cheap ones out there, like MB Battles and Elite's, but I've heard rumors they may have been discontinued...

[White Comet]

i heard that too about being discontinued but i'm not sure

speaking of wheels, my friend just picked up mb battles at a sportmax price

[240-SRT-4]

what do yall think the liquid metal statics in chrome? 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear? kinda not what i was originally wanting but chrome has crossed my mind....

[Rudelude22]

Show us a pic of these chromies, but must will say Eww.....

If you car started by hot wiring, maybe its a ignition switch.

Sounds like you kinda rushing if its a Toy, take it slow and do it right.

[White Comet]

i think these are the wheelshttp://adaptivestrategies.com/...e.jpgnot bad, for chrome not bad at all

[240-SRT-4]

yeah thats them... im kinda rushing...but im ready to drift my own car... im trying to find cheap coilover which is hard to do.. and get the parts to get it running good and rims.. i should be able to post pics in the kouki check in section soon!!!

[TAMSTER]

im gonna get slaped but w/e

what does no 56k mean?

[Ghast]

56k is the old school Dial up connection through the phone line.

OP, Car is looking stellar compared to what it used to look like, Great job!

[240-SRT-4]

ok guys im going 17 x 9's to go with my 215/45s now to find rims and what offset to go with...

[themeanest240]

[240-SRT-4]

Thanks man.. im trying to go with the battles.. i just haven't found the +12 offset yet.. discount has a 30 i beleive.

And I dont blame you on the working in the cold.. it been cold here off and on but we finally got snow this past week. back in the 50s and 60s this week and i have about 400.00 in parts coming in Tuesday and i got these today...

[themeanest240]

hells ya man! its +15 i found out, but i wanna go with some ksport when i get the money and it warms up. yours will look great slammed! i wish the snow would go away here, i have seen nothing but for months! i hate it.

where did you find clutch pedal for your s14? i have been looking so hard and never get close to finding one =(

keep us posted with the build, looks like its going to be an absolutly great car when you get done.

[White Comet]

hells ya man! its +15 i found out, but i wanna go with some ksport when i get the money

don't get ksports, they're terrible

[reidorifuto]

+1000000

Ksports are trash.

Not to mention the fact that they don't actually dampen at all.

I hated my Ksports so much that I took them off and sold them after a month and put my stock squishy suspension on.
