My First Coupe!

no. but like stated before, it keeps the structure of the car and most aftermarket sunroof systems end up leaking, and making rust. i was saying its not worth it because of what may happen, and that you may end up liking the slick roof, as i did.

recently got a new camera, a canon rebel xsi...got adobe premium, messed around with photoshop, and here are the results. sadly no new updates as im saving for wheels

WOW, its amazing how a s***y camera can make a s***y car look so bad (no offence)and how a good camera could make a s***ty car look so good.

Looks like a toy car lol...but quality is amazing

lol ummm thanks?

240joe, i edited the original with PS to give it that appearance. i think it looks cool. gives it somethin interesting which helps cuz my car isnt the best looking car..

but wheels are definitely coming along with 5speed swap. 17x9's then possibly sil-front with bricks..stock aero.

Nice nice, I love my Canon SLRs. I have been playing around with my new toy. The 7D. It is just a little weird being able to shoot video at the sametime. When you watch the video it pauses everytime I take a still shoot, lol.

[im_looking_for_a_240sx]

definitely man canon al the way. used to have a 35mm canon ae-1 but finally made the switch to digital. funny thing is that the commercial for the xsi was made with a whole bunch for mark 1 canons. so like the advertisement for the 700$ camera was made with the few thousand $ cameras lol. probably aside from cars my next passion is photography. love to do both!

well...i've finally done something i've been wanting to make since before i lowered my car...its not perfect but for now it works good. just so you know, no, i didnt steal it. lol. it was hard to bend it without the right tools but ith a little ingenuity i figured it out and now its installed. Definitely not a professional one but it works...night pics suck.

i just wanna save my oil pan...

[im_looking_for_a_240sx]

soo its been a while now and i thought i'd update this ...story.i was out snow drifting and happened to try an be cool and take this turn way too fast and because of many factors in the road and such, i ended up doin thisended up getting towed home to fix it...broken/bent stuffsthe most important bent piece, a $200 dollar fix for the bent coilover bracket body.what the car looks like now

i was kinda sad about the whole wreck, and now I'm borrowing the front wheels, and my alignment sucks and acts up, fan wiring no longer works(i rigged it up another way) and on old stock suspension. the oil pan protector actually did its job and save the oil pan and still retained shape. im impressed... ended up replacing entire rear subframe and a few things up front too...i was mad about the wheels, now not even repairable but doesnt matter, because of what comes next...

So on a good note, some wheels i just recently acquired:...imagine...

and spent the day at the JY saturday and now have front 5 lug, a short shifter, and N60 maf for my turbo build up.

heres pics of the event, ride to the event, my damage, our tandem/ride-alongs and just other cool stuff...



























post hitting the clipping point of drag radials, thanks for zipties:P








overall, despite my pre-event rush to get my coils and ruca's on, i had a blast, tried some tandem and finally got to slide [legally] for the first time. i ran into clutch pedal problems but fixed it on site by bleeding the slave. and the tandem was fun. definitely got alot more agressive at the end and lost my fender and bumper, and got dents in both sides of my rear quarter panels.

but it was worth it. cant wait for the next event!

[JDMZ32]

Nice oil pan shield. Sorry to see the wreck. I assume she's all fixed now?

[im_looking_for_a_240sx]

thanks man! and yeah i got the new coilover piece which cost me a pretty penny of $230. just for the bent rear lower coilover mount. got the ruca welded up and braces with HKS steel

but yeah everythings running on her now.

Sorry it doesn't have Type X aerroooooooooooo and super JDM Ganadors, with some ballin 18s SOOOOOOON.

Anyway, dude, looks like you had fun sliding, that's all that matters! I wish places up here would let us tandem without cages, fire suits, etc.
