Lol ya nub dante. Me + Coils = fitted, well after some rolling.

We'll see. My drivers side paint looks like a drift car atm, pretty rashed up clearcoat. I don't care for aggressive aero as much as u do, but I do like it.

ok, that may be, but meaning no offense at all, i haven't seen dante turn out an rides that emit badazzery. i no for a fact your car will be sick, but for dante to think you and him will have the only sick s13s in lancaster is laughable

easy killer. im just glad there is more than me. lol

dante is doing some legit stuff this time around, assuming this car does not end up with all the previous cars' fate. thats not to say the other cars arent turning out well either.

anyone local got a spare set of s13 swaybars? i need a spare set to powdercoat.

just waiting on the powdercoaters to call and tell me my subframe is done. once that is picked up, the reassembly can begin

hey i didn't say me and keegan where the only 2 in lancaster, i just havent seen someone with everything done on their 240 yet

and my previous 5 or 6 240s where either motor bolt-ons or body mods but thats when i all i did was drag them and a little bit of driftung

now its time for a couple of well built projects to finally complete

Youre welcome dude. youre making good progress. take your time, spend your money wisely and youll have a great outcome. feel free to ask any questions, ive built a fair share of these s13's we all love so much.
White Comet wrote: i have stock swaybars if you want em for powdercoating
yes, ill give a set back if you need em. but i wanna drop them off asap.
Bumnah wrote:Impressive parts list.Modified knuckles on the street? Ballsy.Should be a good drift car.
thank you sir, means a lot. i LOVE whats going on in your garage as well. to be 100% honest, im striving to do exactly what i see going on with your car. youve set the bar, im looking to just come par to yours.
brn-n-jpn wrote:hey keegan are you replacing all of your factory sr sensors
silly goose, you know how i do.... MOST will probably be replaced, but ALL will be thoroughly tested/metered to ensure they work. expect RIDICULOUS wiring work. i plan to make the tuck i did for jeff (whitecomet) look like childsplay, and his is AWESOME. check his thread for reference.

oh, and this is what happens when you bolt a large amount of sex together.



FOR REFERENCE:

Thats just the stuff in the photo... not considering all my other fun stuff sitting here waiting to bolt to that assembly.

Thanks, but my build is pretty standard stuff. All the parts are off the shelf.

I look up to Bill Washburn's 240rs maxi. Custom made blade style sway bars, custom lower arms. Mine is pale in comparison, small potatoes.

I heart everything on the parts list. You even went with the aluminum calipers to make me happy slash jealous!

The new setup is going to be sick man. Just when I thought I had a chance at keeping up, you raise the bar exponentially .

Lol jeff it read like you wanted to say you got that pic in the text and jizzed in your pants...

Let me see if I have any old pics to draw up.
