hey i'm not sure why but the original thread was locked....

i did a small photoshop on what i think you should do to your car

thats pretty cool that you got to be on the show

just a question though... whats the purpose of three xboxes? having one in the car is freaking awesome, but having 3 is a bit overboard?

anyhow, congratulations...

i wanted to post, but it was closed

so brokeas240sx, AWESOME THAT YOU GOT BE ON TV~!!!1111

and i bet my ride has a chance to be pimped..... even my fuel door isnt functional anymore!! lol

edit: o yeah i didnt read the whole thread, but I got to the part where you said you couldnt sell it on ebay even if you wanted bc it would violate the terms & conditions on the contract you signed. so you cant sell your car ever??? and you did get to keep everything right?? I read a part that said that "they" took away like 1-2k?

They kept all the stuff that was in the car before it was "pimped", like the body kit, the head unit, etc... I would guess that he can't sell the car for a certain amount of time or something, they can't bar you from ever selling it.

from the before and after pics, i thought it looked like they threw the old body kit away and put a different one on there.

Keep it civil - You guys know how i feel about this.

One thing's for sure about this matter - it's more polarizing than politics.

They did put on a new body kit and such. I meant that WCC kept the stuff when they replaced it. They kept his Viper alarm too I believe.

Haveing 3 X-Boxes would rock. I love to go to the track and play some video games with 12 people durring a brake. If I ever got my car pimped I'd have then fit 3 or 4 BBQs in there.

QVD you are a trip man! Watching the chemistry between you, Xzibit, and the WCC guys was easily the best part of this show!! I was rolling the whole half hour and honestly can't wait to catch this episode in reruns! As far as the car, congrats man! Glad to see something like this go to someone who will appreciate it! (kill the hood graphics and spoiler tho!!!)

LOL. O man that was funny *** ish. I just watched it and man was it hilarious. His reactions were freakin ROFL. Dude I suggest any of you doubters to watch it. His before car was pure crap compared to the end product, trust me. The individual parts they installed on the car alone I guarantee retail for more than the over inflated prices 240's sell for nowadays. 6 monitors, that is easily $6,000 at least. I guarantee you his car could not be sold for that much before it got "pimped." I say, dang man you got some crazy luck. O yea, he got like 20 free xbox games. Even if you hate everything else about his car, you can't see no to free games.

Whooooooooooooo wheeee. That episode was funny. O yea, if you ever need some "friends" to come over to fill as one of those 12 slots hit me up. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about... in the show, when they said he could have up to 12 friends play at the same time, he said "but I don't even have 12 friends." ROFL Man brokeass, that is hilarious.

When is this show on? I need to see this. It'd be awesome to see someone I kinda almost know on there. I'm sure they'll show it in a rerun...someday...I hope.

I think I recall something about you doing car shows with the Pimp-ed-out 240. Hope you win a lot. That'd make it worth it even more.

I'm curious. WHat is the green thing that I have circled in the picture? It appears to be some kind of plastic case covering up the Intake filter!!! Um.. I fi that's what it is, wouldn't you think that would be a little restrictive?

Anyway, congrats on the car. A little too flamboyant for my taste though.

It's a plastic cover for the filer. It is open at the tip. It doesn't really restrict air at all. It is basically completely useless though. HOWEVER... I do have one on my truck that I used to build a snorkel air intake. Works pretty well for that!

Everything else has been said 8,000 times already and doesn't need to be restated, so I will say this:

Get a good car alarm. You now have a hot target car. You love your car very much and other people just want your car, and I gaurantee you, someone is gonna be d!ck to you and your car in the near future. Protect it.

My suggestion is an inline fuse.

I would like to appologise for my hostility in another thread. The car for what it is was pretty cool. I hope he didnt decide to leave NICO. That would suck.

Or you could be like Batman and have your car and rims covered in metal plates when ever you push the alarm button.

Man I need a Batmoblie

I finally saw the 240sx show. I like the PMR show in gerneral though some of the stuff they do is kinda over the top for my taste. I had a couple of questions, if the owner is still active.

How long did it it take them to do all of that customizing work?

Was it all done free of charge? West Coast is a premier shop, and that had to be low-mid 5 figures to do all of that stuff.

Congrats on the finished product. Keep her clean and enjoy.

I just saw that episode earlier today. All I have to say is that this dude is awesome! "I love this orange!" and the look on X's face. Best PMR episode ever!
