guys guys guys ....chill...i was jk. sorry if i made anyone mad. i wouldnt steal anything from anyone cuz i wouldnt want them to do it to me. "treat others how you'd like them to treat you" i got morals. lol i guess i dont have much a sense of humor. [/QUOTE

Well good, hard to express sarcasm over the internet unless you are extremely blatant about it. But I just hate hearing about people getting **** stolen and I dread the day it happens to me.

[JDMZ32]

slick tops are rare? mrgreeneyes has one. rare imo is an SE coupe with power i've only seen one of those. i've seen a way more slicktop coupes though

i don't know about S13s, but as for Z32s, less than 3% of them were slicktops. they're also about 100 pounds lighter than the t-top 2+0. also, all Z32 slicktops built were 2+0 NAs. if you see a TT slicktop, it's a conversion. if you see a 2+2 slicktop (which i've never seen), then it's a complete IDIOT haha.

i didnt clear my rattle can job, it still looks fine

[StandardProspect]

^why is that funny?

[ilovesideways]

did you see the pics of his "flat black" s13?

[Ritsuzen]

NICE FIND, and i'll tell you why is phenomenal. You are one of the small few of car enthusiasts that will take a "****ty" looking car and save it from the junkyard. For that i say thanks, these cars do not deserve to die. Good Job.

[Ritsuzen]

You're an a$$. Ever read those threads where people are complaining about people stealing things from/on their car and up to STEALING their car? You are the ******* that does that ****. Don't steal from other peoples cars you screw. There is cheap *** Home depot front lips if you are gonna be a d!ck. Or man up and buy one.

srsly chill the screw out he was just joking.

[White Comet]

did you see the pics of his "flat black" s13?

heres some "current" pics

heres pics from when i first sprayed it

not very "flat" looking imo, and i think it held up fine, even through the winter. especially considering i never washed it (even to this day).

op, sorry for the pic, if you want me to take em down i will. i just wanted to show that rattle canned paint jobs can hold up fine

[im_looking_for_a_240sx]

its cool, and forreal it seems like its a semi gloss black or somethinn from the pics. hopefully mine wont look too bad and hold up over winter. i'll prolly be washing her above and under every week or so to keep salt from building up and causing rust

[White Comet]

you are correct, its a semi gloss

[ilovesideways]

eh my mistake WC. I was looking at zeause's car when it was flat black and for some reason thought it was yours. Your's looks good though

[LeroyBrown]

flat black paint it flat black

[JDMZ32]

lol i thought it meant quit screwing talking.

hmm, that's not what i typed. you can figure it out.

also, i doubt this is what he typed:

srsly chill the screw out he was just joking.

i guess it's NICO's new way of making the f word less used.

[ilovesideways]

screwing screw screw mother screwer's? screw screw?

edit: I seriously lol'd when I saw what it did. This was just a test.

[White Comet]

eh my mistake WC. I was looking at zeause's car when it was flat black and for some reason thought it was yours. Your's looks good though

ahhh, its all good

[S13Joe]

uhh yeah definatly on the wheel. But hey, w.e floats your boat.

[im_looking_for_a_240sx]

lol what, you no like my jdm steering wheel?

new pics up soon

[hiimelvin]

The wheel is dope.

[miracleboi123]

Jesus, that is amazing, 900 for a s13 coupe.Congratulations, im glad you chose a coupe style then the hatches =]i remember getting my coupe, yeah just clean it up, go with what you want to do, and remember always go w/ performance before looks. clean up that engine bay, replenish the fluids, drop the car, new wheels, and paint =] and you have a badass s13.

[im_looking_for_a_240sx]

I guess this is kinda update-ish kinda stuff. Few weeks ago replaced the exhaust and the thing was rattling like crazy on the tow hook. So today i took the time to saw it off. Its not a clean cut angle, but i didnt wanna take off the exhaust to cut it. oh well im happy.Also i got hood dampers from a j30 to use as engine (torque?) dampers and as well i had a custom little bracket thing made with the help of the guys from home depot, and had trouble drilling the holes but finally got through. Right now i only have one damper hooked up because i think i need to rethink my bracket design becasue if i hook up the inner damper it will twist the whole bracket. so now that thats thru, here's pics:bracket top view:bracket inner fender view:hey, where did that hook go?oh, there it is , hehe.

[im_looking_for_a_240sx]

small update: HICAS vlsd, oil cooler with lines, power window amp, drift tires.

BTW if there are any mods that could help me out, i want to change my username to "Juice"...thanks

[S13Joe]

Coming along nicely, I just picked up a coupe too, same color (well i guess when yours was originally one color) as yours.

[im_looking_for_a_240sx]

cool, got any pics of it?also, which front end do you think looks better on a coupe?chuki or zenki?

[S13Joe]

zer...o-56k

You mean pignose or chuki? I personally like chuki better, but I suppose its all personal opinion.

On a coupe, I personally like the silvia front the best. Bricks only, but if not then Chuki by far.

[im_looking_for_a_240sx]

i completely agree on the silvia w/bricks. if only i had money for it. haha. but for me its more suspension before looks. for now... ah yeah i remember now, the coupe is cool, but that rust looks scary. i have a big spot of rust i found under the passenger side seat mount bolt area, but its like under that. look:also ive had an extra valve cover powdercoated gold.i like it

[S13Joe]

oh man, mine may be scary but thats almost a rolling casket... I would get that repaired asap.

[im_looking_for_a_240sx]

UPDATE:-wetsanded paint so no more black/grey spraypaint. looks ALOT better-got oil cooler lines and sandwich adapter-engine got rod knock from too much drifting lol-engine got worse, bought engine that will be rebuilt and put back in car.-got free weels

found a turbo volvo with the oil cooler still on it. its bigger than the one i have and cost about 65% cheaper than one i have now. pics!:also, pics of the oil cooler adapter kit off ebay. light and good looking design. worth the money.so yesterday i got my motor and am going to start taking it apart/cleaning/rebuilding the engine. also, i got a set of wheels for FREE! and i kinda like them. they could be wider, but oh well. the car sits up ALOt higher now, 17x7 .no flushness at all4x4 statuslooks like i have positive camber in the back but i dont. the only bad things are offset and the fact that the tires(the pair with NO tread left, which ar on the front) barely clear the strut. like not even a finger space of clearance so i would need lower profile tires.
