That is for battery and box right? So i am looking at about 500 for that set up. And then 300-400 for the carpet and another 600 for all the seats and 100 for headliner so like 1500-1900 is a reasonable goal to have completed before December oh wait and the wheel and shift knob but i dunno anything about that right now.

I am thinking about a NARDI wheel because they look very clean and well made. and i don't know what kinda shift knob. something that i can hold various ways would be nice.

Thanks man!

Nice job on the lancer

Nice job on the lancer

Hey man thanks a lot i appreciate that. She is EXACTLY how i planned her out to be. The Bass at night while cruising the highway feels good in the back of the brain. On cool nights the vent on the hood directs the perfect air straight to my short ram intake. The hummmm is so nice. Its not a FAST OMGINSANE1000WHP car but its a very nice cruiser with a beautiful sound. Turns heads too.

I appreciate the comment

that price is only for battery box. battery is going to cost you another 150-170 depends on where you buy it on internet. i just sold one for 100.00 brand new i bought for my ae86. i sold the 86 so i didnt need a spare battery around... i sold it at my cost though. unfortunately you wont find them that cheap brand new any where on the web.

I am not really worried about the price. I spent 200 on a yellow top and it got jacked when i had it in my brothers MP5. Nice battery BUT... it does not look as good as your setup and i have to have it lol. When i get around to buying it do you think you could help me on the size and voltage i need. I know NOTHING about batteries. Thanks for all the help man!

You seem to be good at Ebay. Keep an eye out for me okdokie?

[got chub]

yeah i got the majority of parts for my car from ebay... you just have to be smart and patent about it

[White Comet]

^ true dat. ive found amazing ebay deals. there was one time where i saw a garage defend s13 cooling panel. it only went for $80 but the auction ended while i was at work and i missed out

[Ghast]

Well i have got a TINY update i guess you could say.

Went to the "Pick N Pull" yesterday and i found EXACTLY what i was looking for.The carpet for the cargo area with hardware to attach it to the back seat, And also the carpet for the passenger area! YAY! i really should have taken pictures of everything and i don't know why i waited till i was finished cleaning them haha but here were my tools!

Blue Magic... I dunno how it works. But its pretty bad ***

OXI CLEAN! ! ! ! I love this stuff it works on anything with a touch of elbow grease!

Passenger carpet after cleaning!It is not perfect but after the 3 hours of cleaning i spent on it. IT is exactly how i need it to be.

Cargo/trunk Carpet After cleaning.Backside

Now even after all the cleaning and scrubbing and numerous uses of the shop vac ( 3 times after wash so it dried faster ). On my final wash down i used the shop vac and BAM it was still dirty. Mind you this was all very tedious and after seeing the water after the final wash i decided it was time to quit and wait till i could use my friends pressure washer.EWWWWWWW! ! ! ! !

I wish i would have taken pictures of what it looked like when i pulled it at the "Pick N Pull". Which by the way was really sad seeing SOOOO many 240sx's just dead, broken glass everywhere engines torn apart. It was really really sad. lets have a moment of silence for the fallen s13's..........................

Now while cleaning the passenger carpet i got kinda frustrated with the stupid sound deadening crap on the bottom, When it was wet it was disgusting and would roll right off and fall on the ground and looked like someone just pinched a loaf right on the sidewalk it was pretty nasty. But i got a good amount of it off. Does anyone have any tips as to how to get the rest of it off? i think the old glue is whats keeping the rest of it all on there. Does anyone have any tips as to how i could remove it? Thanks if you do!

Next on the list is to find me a pair of s14 seats or 180sx Front and Rear Seats.If i get some s14's i will just reupholster ALL the seats to match. Some kinda black blue and accent red pattern. Now if i find some 180sx front and rear seats i will be happy they will already match and they WILL say 180sx on them. That's kinda cool.

And i will grab a 180sx headliner to go with all of that and i think the outcome will be pretty sweet!

Thanks for checking out my build!

[CRyan]

Thats not clean enough to you?!?!? God, wish mine would come out that well - I plan to pull the carpet and seats and clean them up as soon as I can!!

Looks FANTASTIC though!! Good work - can't wait for the next update!

[ilovesideways]

I really like your lancer...just thought I'd let you know Nice 240 as well

Well it is clean but when i got down and dirty i could still see all the dirt in the carpet its almost as if the car that it was in was in some kinda mud slide maybe I DUNNO haha its just amazing to me the amount of dirt or whatever the orange stuff is that was in the carpet. You should see the gutter it looks orange for 3 houses down hahaha .

I don't like the carpet in my 240 at all. It holds stains and i just really really don't like the length of the fuzz? err hair i dunno what you would call it haha (hope i am making sense). Anyways this new/used carpet has short hair/fuzz and its a lot easier to clean AND ITS DARK so when u are in the car you do not really notice imperfections at all. Well at least that is what i am hoping for ^^.

Thanks for checking out my thread ^^ I will try and update soon!

[White Comet]

the short fuzz carpet is a zenki carpet, the long fuzz is a chuki carpet
