I am going to attempt to answer everyones questions inthis post. So, here goes.

Eikon: Next for the car is bigger displacement. Going with the Brian Crower 4.15 stroker kit. I am a big advocate of doing things in steps so that I am not compounding problems so I will get that motor going and reliable. Once I am comfortable with it we will see....I would love to do a large manly turbo set up on her....stay tuned.

Ohsoclean240: I did indeed remove the fenders underneath the over fenders. Basically we cut them up about 5" and rewelded and rolled them back together as to not allow the elements and tire smoke creep back up into the cabin. I HIGHLY recommend this modification as imo it is pretty much pointless to use overfenders if you don't.

Silvia_Freak: The exhaust was hand fabricated using 3" stainless.

Thank you to everyone for the kind words....again.

[Ohsoclean240]

thanks. yea i have the mag sitting next to me, its pure sexi have a coupe and i really want to do over fenders and find some negative offset wheels, just having a hard time deciding how negative i can go and still get decent tire wear

[110octane]

Cool man. Let me know if I can help.

[Silvia_Freak]

Of course I suspected its hand fab...I read it in the article...:-) LOL. Where did you get the tips?

[Ohsoclean240]

yea man i def. will. i've got my eye on a nice set of -5,-20 equips that i will give a testicle for.

the tips are handmade as well. look close. lol

you wouldnt maybe wanna toss up a few pics of the rear fender mod would ya?

[j2i5]

quick question... what fenders did u use?

[jrsink]

I love these cars and am actually going out to look at purchasing another one this week. If I end up purchasing this one I think I am going to try to restore it and do very minor mods....and oh yeah...drive the hell out of it with the top down! LOL

I HAVE SOOOOOOOOOO been driving the hell out of mine the last few weeks (since coilovers)!!! only between the hours of 1am and 5am youknowwhatimean? ; )

[RB20DETodd]

you deserve it, original thinking ftw awesome ride.

[94_240sx]

I've been wondering when this vert shows up for Falken tire ad and finally showed up this month. I was looking at Compact Sport Car and it was there. Looks like FD3S --> BMW M6 --> 240sx vert. Nice!!!

My dream car.... Every pic of this car is beautiful.

Is there any chanse you can buy this Import Tuner issue in June, some store selling old ones?I wont reach USA until June and would love to buy it...

[tufortesx]

I swear to everything I love I got this mag a few weeks ago. After that I purchased my vert! This car is the reason I came back to the scene after a 4 year break! Beautifull machine... and the lips on those wheels....OMG! Angelina Jolie should be jealous...ha ha

[yijima]

to you or anyone on here to get the front end conversion of the 97/98, would a junk yard be the best bet, but i really the only stock things i want would be the grill and hood? for the lights fenders and bumper are there any decent sites with after market parts, plus are there any mods or does it all just screw where my current front end is at?

[JOEDRIFT16]

That is a very nice looking car. I bought an 89 hatch and 91 coupe to build.The coupe was crashed and had good motor. Hatch had blown sr20, but body was straight and s13 clip was on it already. Made one car out of two and and junked the coupe. As I began to search for parts and looking through mags, I ran into your car on the cover. I was amazed how nice it turned out.......and I went out and bought one. I purchased 93 for 2k...decent shape and prepared for transformation. I have the car getting SR20 conversion right now and can't wait for next step.

My intentions are to build it for SHOW and GO. Hopefully it will turn out as nice as yours.

[240sxbobbis]

haha nice man i read that articles and i was like daaaaaayyyyuuuuuuum thats a sick ride man nice to see one of our nico guys on the mag ...

[AZhitman]

I had the opportunity to hang out with Mikey (110octane) last weekend in Utah... Super-cool guy, and we had a blast talking convertibles.

It's awesome knowing someone who has the same all-out passion for building a badass vert.

Athough, he let me in no a little secret - Mine won't be faster any longer, as he's adding BOOOST to the VQ.... BASTARD!!!!

j/k Mickey - Thanks for hangin' out at Miller!

[AZhitman]

Import Tuner STILL spells it "Sylvia".

Cripes, guys - it's a 240sx. Boneheads.

[onosqv]

240sx is its slave name. It's true name is forever SIIILLLVVVIIIAAAAAAAA.

Yea, i'm going delerious, another hour left of work.

[MadmikeX3]
