My Ride (I just figured out Photo bucket ;>)

[cmkelly]

For the Pic whores out there - new pics of the ride.

Needed: new rims and tires plus lowered about an inch.

[Loki]

Looks real nice; paint is beautiful. I agree it needs to be lowered, but I think verts look fine with stock rims. How much did that intake cost ya anyways?

[cmkelly]

I'm a sucker and bought the "name brand" on eBay for about $150. I hear the cheap ones are just as good but I wanted this one.

The fit was perfect and the sound is fantastic. I even imagine going faster with it. When it's cold it definately feels stronger at full throttle.

Good luck finding your ride; we're all pulling for you!

Really clean vert!!! I love how its all kept up nice!

[S-13]

I like what I see CMKelly. You get my vote

[ddgsxr504]

WOWZORZ, that thing looks like it just rolled off the assembly line.

NICE!!

[Ihiryu]

Looking good! Is the leather on the door panels stock?? I don't think i've ever seen them like that.

[cmkelly]

The leather must have been either an option or dealer installed because I've seen a few on NICO that have the exact same pattern. There's leather on the seats, glove box, door panels and rear speaker inserts.

I'd switch to S14 seats but mine are in such great condition that I'd hate to.

Thanks for the complements - I absolutely love to drive this car!

[DeXteR]

fantastic! it'd be hard for me to want to touch the interior if i was in that car too. you NEED some wheels though... loki is still trippin on his meds - don't listen to him. get some nice meshies with a slight stagger.

[Eikon]

Wow!

That's the cleanest, most pristine interior I've ever seen!Really looks fantastic.

How is it that your door panels aren't coming apart??

Thanks for sharing pics.

Nice!!! cmkelly. Paint still looks like a mirror. You still rock original floor mats. I like leather package. That's way better than crappy fabric. Top and rear window look like new. Tail lights side markers, front signals and nose bra look great on black car. I'd get a rag and clean up the engine bay though. Oh! One more, you gotta find a boot cover in mint condition soon.

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

I heart black verts.

[slowzenki]

Nice Vert. I too am envious of your leather interior. I just lowered mine with skunk 2 lowering springs (avg. 1.75F, 1.5R). It looks good and rides almost like stock. Since you live in Willow springs, if you want to see how they ride, give me a holla.

[cmkelly]

Sounds good. I work in N. Raleigh so maybe we could meet up around Brier Creek some day. Kinda between Raleigh and Durham.

What did your skunk 2 setup cost you?

[slowzenki]

I got them from Nam at Phantasm Motorsports. He was selling them for $200. The only bad thing is that his price is about $40 more than on most internet sites. The good thing is that I went and picked them up the same day and installed them the next. A meet at briar creek sounds cool (Carolina Ale house ). Sometime next week or so after work would be ideal, since I work in RTP ("Research Triangle Park" for all you non-NC people ). Email me at athongk@hotmail .com

cmkelly....awesome awesome car man! it's great to see the vert in such clean shape.

Looking good! Is the leather on the door panels stock?? I don't think i've ever seen them like that.

mine has the leather pool panels too. i guess they had it as an option. it's dirty, i know....

[cmkelly]

Eikon asked about why the door panels still look so good and after seeing yours it must be the leather. Mine have separated a little but nothing like I've seen on other verts. The leather insert is hot-glued into the door panel and seems to have held up better than the cloth.

My grey leather is hot in the sun, I can't imagine your black leather in FLA My a$$ is burning!!!!!!

[biggie]

I'm still not sure what causes the panel inserts to seperate, heat/humidity/etc? I've seen many that the rear panels are almost completely out and the fronts are almost as bad. Mine only had the front driver's side as a problem, and I made it worse by removing the panel a few times, but its fixed now.

[Gold_240sx]

thats the cleanest leather interior i've ever seen, bought my coupe with leather and now i see its potential.

[jamesblonde82]

the black leather is a mofo in the sun yes. but i am going to tint the windows pretty dark and i use a sunshield in the windshield when im parked outside. i generally never leave my top down when i park it. im so paranoid some a-hole is going to flick their cigarette in it, ive seen it happen before. so all-in-all it's not that bad, just gotta keep the sun off it.

[DirftKing102]

Yeah im pretty sure they had it as an option because my car doesnt have any so i am spending money to get the whole interior reuphoulstered. Probably going to be around $1000.

[CARkid]

looks sick man... god I want a 240 vert soooooooo bad

[NSR240sxe]

^ me too!

thats one clean vert...very nice!
