Project Blackout: Mrgreeneyes' Coupe Build

[mrgreeneyes]

thanks man! ill post up the final mod list (its changed a little bit since the first list)... some nice treats have been added.

and you are definitely welcome to come down and chill... or we could come up that way. some nicely built S-chassis down here... we are a rare few non-ghetto 240 owners in this area. we build em right... mine's low and slow... but its all ready for a boosted CA in the coming year or so... so its all good

[hbpignosePA]

haha true we do seem to have alot of rice in this region... i hear you on the slow 240, im rockin a single slammer... with the slow build i got going i dont bother to make a thread... but lets just say im putting my money in the handling department

im not going to threadjack you but ill probably shoot u or WC an email come may

[tailout240]

absolutely lovin it man, im about to start on a coupe. its gonna be satin black too. similar wheels too im goin with 002's

[Didderson]

I'm sorry guys I can't post the vids i took today. I don't have quicktime pro so I don't know how I can save it and then upload to youtube.

I took em on my cell phone and I have verizon, I use the website for picture/message uploading if anyone can give tips I'll post em!

The diff is sweet haha! some fun **** to listen to. The Tomei sounds PISST when you're breaking it in .

I'll be over 2morrow morning w/ the grip wrench and gorilla lug key.

Great success! Another amazing project near complete man.

[Didderson]

wait i got it! woot loopholes





You can already tell when u ride in it that this thing is a bat outta hell.

[mrgreeneyes]

thank you sir! lol at loud a$$ diff and not being able to go past 2k... hopefully she will be good for tomorrow.

tailout240, thanks man! its a crazy good feeling to have this thing so close to perfect...

[idahotuner]

very nice you really have that thing slammed. by looking at the exhaust. dont think you would want to go much lower. what seats are those. i am debating between getting fixed back racing seats or recline able ones.

[mrgreeneyes]

she aint low enough yet.... fronts gotta come down an inch or so... then ill be happy.

seat is a buddy club spec seat. if you are over 160lbs... then you need the XL version... mine is the standard size and i barely squeeze my narrow arse in there. but i love it. fixed back ftw. it weighs NOTHING. its retarded light...

your car is coming along nicely man. get it done and drive on out here lol

btw, exhaust is 2.5" or less off the ground... frame rails are at roughly 3.25" all the way around... before i slam the front some more. then alignment... my rear camber is ridiculously negative so that i could fit my wheels before i rolled/pulled. now im all rolled/pulled and ill be set for clearance. looks great. did it with a sawed-off baseball bat, no heat, just a plan of attack and two patient friends to roll the car back and forth. perfect roll/pull, no buckling, imperfections, etc. ill post some update pics later today (its nearly 3am now) possibly with a real camera this time lol. no more phone pics

im not going to threadjack you but ill probably shoot u or WC an email come may

sounds good, btw hows that strut bar doing?

... we are a rare few non-ghetto 240 owners in this area. we build em right...

lol mines still a little ghetto, the last 2 owners did a number on it. looking good. i cant wait to see the tomei in action. did you go through the break in steps? and that pull looks pro, good stuff

[hbpignosePA]

it is doing quite nicely, cleanest thing in my bay never got around to cleaning up the motor... ill probably wait for my rebuild it doesnt bother me much, no reason to pop the hood and show ppl a stock single slammer

we all ready rolled one side on my car. and we used a hammer and mallet. be we are doing full body wot so if we make dents in the out sire we just bondo over them.

i am looking at getting sparcos. i think it would be nice if they were recline able but that means they sit alot higher. cause they will be bottem mount. but we will see i need to at least get one fore the drivers side so i am held in place while cornering.

[mrgreeneyes]

for the price, the buddy club is the way to go for sure. the pull came out nicely. im taking my dads camera at the moment to snap some pics. Ilovemyrhs13 is on his way over too.. hes got better lens skills than i

[addisonblck]

dude! thats awsome..... thats gotta be like havin a kid......

lol u must be a proud man

[mrgreeneyes]

yeah... kinda like a kid... but without the naggy wife...

she should be up and running tomorrow for sure... jb weld is setting right now for the exhaust mani patch so i didnt want to rush things, id rather let it fully cure. also, i may have to double check that i reconnected the maf wiring on the ecu, cus i used to have an SAFC2 in there, but mister didderson needed it to finish his swap with his crazy N60 maf. so i need to make sure that everything is kosher there.

this morning i installed my PBM solid front tension rods, jonnie fraz power brace, and lowered the front of the car, and rebled the brakes. its been a productive day. just waiting on the nardi now... and my shift knob. they both make driving easier.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

You can has pictures?

Of course! I had fun today just seeing it. It will be even more fun seeing it driving!



Yay!

[tramp_drift240]

what is this. i must know. something like the nismo powerbrace?

[mrgreeneyes]

its the jonnie fraz tension rod brace. is $90 plus shipping i believe. go to the fabricators forum and he is there. amazing product, perfect fit, and you support a man who supports our community. its basically a bolt in powerbrace... takes 20 mins to install tops, if you take a break. beefy hardware and cnc cuts are amazing. sexy satin black finish looks so stealthy. greeneyes approved product.

[mrgreeneyes]

my car is so dirty right now its crazy. sorry nico for the dirty pics. thanks for posting them doug! seems that my hosting site is down at the moment so my pics/sig arent working. awesome.

gonna fire it up again tomorrow night. everything going well... ill be driving it daily come thursday. also, i need to pull my pbm rucas off and rethread them. i realized that i didnt thread them in equally as per the pbm thread on zilvia and that can cause problems. thats one of those DOH moments. so a little more work tomo. oh well.

give me some freaking feedback nico lol. i wanna hear what you think, questions, etc.

doing figure 8's in the parking lot breaking in the diff.

We had a fun run last night since the car is legal now. Funny thing is the only thing that went wrong is greeneyes here forgot to tighten the clamps on the fuel line hoses at the fuel pump lol. That's the only real problem we ran into. Good times!

[idahotuner]

even thought it is dirty it still looks great. man. i liek how you painted the differential cover. i am doing mine green. you never posted the little deal on how to hard wire the fuel pump. some thing my dad and i need ot do before we can turn the boost up with my avc-r i ordered yesterday.

props for the sweet. pics. i am such and amature at taking pictures. need to get some more practice in.

[mrgreeneyes]

i cant describe it without pics man... and i kinda just used OEM wiring cus i got excited and wanted to drive... havent had a car of my own for nearly 6 months... i kinda wanted to drive it

ill draw a diagram with MS paint sometime or something. i think there is a write up on zilvia or fresh alloy about doing this tho... searchy searchy?

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Pictures!

[idahotuner]

hey looks great. you think the turn signals from the pignose front end will work with the s13 silvia front end?

cause i am in need of blinkers for there.

i dont get why people black out there license plates numbers because driving down the road every one see them any how.

Keegan (mrgreeneyes) is sitting right behind me and said yes, they will work.

Also, someone could look up the tag numbers and find the car and steal it.

[idahotuner]

sweet. i see about the tags. didnt know there was a way to look them up thought only cops could do that.

[White Comet]
