My build tread...from ghetto to glory

[wow-thats-a-cool-car]

I turned this....

Into this





So the story is my friend had this car and tried to rebuild the engine and he put it all together and put it into the car. I got it running but the rebuild was terrible so I scraped the engine.

After that I said f*** this motor and bought a new motor from my friend. It was a KA24DE-T with forged internals and a bunch of goodies. Tossed that motor in and its running N/A right now and in runs awesomely!!

After the motor I tossed a bunch of random parts on that I had laying around like 5 lug and I stole some q45 brakes from s13teddy haha <3. The car in running on pbm coilovers and I will soon have some lowering springs for the coilover so I can achieve the ride height I really want haha.

This year I am hopefully going to finish my motor and add a gt35 or bigger turbo and tune it with an AEM EMS on e85 ethanol for 300 -350 hp. And then add either a dmax type 2 kit or origin kit or some sort...f*** knock offs!!!

Hope you enjoy!

[kc240guy]

How does it look ghetto? when I bought the car it was not maintained and it need a lot of work and a lot of little things needed to be fixed. Just because its 3 different colours doesn't mean its ghetto? I bet it still looks better than your car! haha

[S13Teddy]

How does it look ghetto?

Have you looked at your car recently?

[S13Teddy]

Still waiting for glory....So you took a car that had character and made it look like every other crappy 240. WOW you put on some played out wheels and painted a lip CONGRATS! I have a metal for you. OOOH Sorry forgot that you added some side skirts that dont match the rear of your car. Glory to ghetto! FAIL. 17's or better WOOOOO Maybe 17's or better? Maybe if everybody and there moms tit didn't have the same wheelsTOO ^^^^^Unless you have3 fully custom made wheels some body is going to have your wheels end of story . TO OPBut i liked the fat lowered look my self old pik ftw . you dont need a 35 r for your hp goals seriouslly go t3t4 50 trim with a .63 ar on exhaust 850 cc injectors , and your goal will still be met plus some , the turbo is good for 475 , so you be the judge i dont know the spool character of it but mine hit FB @ 4500 rpm .

Wow... no one sigged this fool's gold yet? Mines now. It's like... the very definition of a ghetto car... lol

[car nut]

Completely. It looked way better before. Is your rear lower then your front?

If so

[bllabong89]

who cares what everybody thinks as long as you like it. every forum everywhere has keyboard commandos and all they ever do is talk s*** on other peoples cars. maybe this guy likes the way his s*** is and thats prolly why it looks the way it does. i know my car isnt great but i still wouldnt want everyone sayin look at this piece of s*** when their cars are prolly worst off than mine...do what you want to YOUR car and have fun with it. thats what modding cars is about, having a car that you like. good luck with the build man

[S13JDM]

yo man do you still have those wheels? if so ill buy them how much you want for them{wheels in the first pic}?
