My New Project

Post by **fourshort** » Sat May 10, 2003 11:45 am

I just got a new project. =) a 98 240sx basemodel. Only a few downfalls but beggers cant be choosers. I can fix anything I dont like =) Anyway I bought it just like this, personally I dont like the bodykit or the wheels or the color. But that can all be changed. Anyway heres a few pics (its not clean) let me know what you think.

I dont see any thing wrong with it.

i think the body kit and color combination are great.

Thanx for the comments I was a little iffy on the color, it will work till I paint it black, but basically i just have one interior change to make that shouldnt cost much, a minor audio change then ill be ready to start collecting parts for a manual swap, and then get the new engine and build it for the swap. The rest of the car can wait till I get that stuff done first. I bleieve it has coilovers on it but I havent had time yet to check ive only had it a day, and I been working like a beast.

Where in CO are you?

Post by **stickgoat** » Sat May 10, 2003 11:45 am

I like the rims too, and just so happen to need some for my car.

If you wanna sell them at a decent price and don't mind shipping to SC, let me know.

That is a fantastic looking S14a. Congrats on your find.

Hahaha, I allready talked to him about his rims too, thats too funny...but I only want them if they are a certain size (probably arent)

I don't like the front. The side ok, just mold them into the body if you know how 2. It won't cost much.

Post by **Eswift** » Sat May 10, 2003 11:45 am

i would buy that fascia off you if i had an S14

As far as the coilovers go it rides like its got them, the sharpe bounce to it, but there is some much rubber on the wheels that it take away part of it =) thats why im not positive on it. The wheels are 15" motegi R7s. As far as selling them I dont want to spend the money on getting new ones first because I dont have the stocks. So it may be a little while befor i sell them because im concentrating on preformance first. But you never know what might come up. And by the way, does anyone know an easy way to take off the woodgrain interior kits? Ill take a photo tomarrow and put it on here of it. Or will I have to have a shop do it? Oh ya and i paid $9,995 for itGrand Junction Co. is the location

Post by **Structure240sx** » Sat May 10, 2003 11:45 am

just carefully pull of the wood crap. it uses sticky rubber kind of stuff not really glue, if i remember right. but i did pull mine off as soon as i got it last year.

definitly a sweet car man

Ill be the first to agree with you, the body kit should go. not a fan of the wheels either but tolerable. I do like the color. Nice find tho

Post by **GrEy240SX** » Sat May 10, 2003 11:45 am

That car is niceee! dude..i wouldn't change anything on the looks except the rims. That's about it...but i like the color.

Post by **b240** » Sat May 10, 2003 11:45 am

when i first looked at it i thought the paint on the hood was faded or something but then i realized it was a cloud...i dont really like the wheels either but the kit looks alright.
