WOW. found this old pic of day 1. i never looked at em side by side before.

[SoCal-S13]

haha you put the s15 seats and carpet out of the other 240 in it?? Bout time lol.

Respray it KG2 (grey gunmetal like it used to be) and keep the black vinyl on the roof and put some kind of spoiler on that thing like maybe the one off your green hatch and it'll be pretty damn ballin sexy and clean.

its gonne be the same charcoal metallic like it used to be, and drilling into that clean hatch. i think not.

I'm so jealous of your steering wheel. I want a clean non se 91-93 steering wheel SOOOO BADDD My SE wheel was in disasterous shape and the best replacement I could find was a clean 89 base model wheel in the junk yard. Wish it'd been a 91-93 so much.

IDK I just think a spoilerless hatch looks naked to me. Maybe a GP2 lip spoiler?? Those dont need bolt holes. Just that body work tape...

On a side note I found a pair of grey s14 seats in the junkyard with no tears or damage, but the drivers window has been out and the driver seat has been exposed to rain snow ice for about 6 months now... it's dark and wet but doesn't seem damaged by it... should I get them? The yard wants 75 each but that's in mint condition. I could get em both for 100 i'm sure... but I just dont know if that can be cleaned or not...

Lovin the interior dude!

i got these S14 seats for $35 at the Ecology yard by me. $35 for both.




personally i dont like them. my gf''s Accord seats look identical. they are good in the comfort aspect, but they dont look sporty at all. and i work for a company that pressure washes/steam cleans s***, the problem with water damage is that the minerals are left behind and they discolor the fabric. if you had them done legit it would lighten the spot, but i can almost guarantee it wont completely come up if its been soaked for an extended period of time. we use muriatic acid to take mineral stains off of concrete. and i dont think putting that on your seat is a wise idea.

damn. Yeah the junkyards around here rip people off like no tomorrow then wonder why they can't stay in business.

I have actually bought brand new parts at autoparts stores for less than what they wanted for thier parts that look terrible from sitting with tree's growing through the roofs of them. They actually wanted $200 bucks for a hatch that was full of rust holes and caulk that they used to fill said holes from where the spoiler used to be and sun damaged window tint. They're f*** retarded. straight up. And then after the car sits out their for so long and they don't sell anything on it they crush it. Tons of perfectly good stuff on them but they'd rather crush them than offer a reasonable price. WTF

I miss u-pull it in sarasota, fl. I could get anything I needed their. They kept all the good parts to sell used in their parts store before crushing and had VERY reasonable prices on parts that you pulled yourself. Like I got my cams for my swap for $5. No joke. And they had a garuntee'd to work or your money back policy.

yeah out here people dont really know how much s*** goes for. like the S14 seats. all that went through her head was (i found em in an S13 not a 14) 1989 Nissan, manual seat, 1/2 off interior day, $14.80 ea. Bumper lips go for at most $15. Bumper extensions $5. i was like, i could just roll through and grab this s*** and sell it and make $$$$$. then i realized how long it takes for them to get new s*** in and i kinda gave up. ill go every now and then and if i find somethin cool i buy it.


o and i got my rear S15 seat today. lil wet on the corner but other than that they're perfect. now the question is...how do i rig these in and not do it like the guy on the thread about the swap. i didnt get time to fit anything today so im gonna start tomorrow and go from there. sorta put em in place and i can tell its the top half thats gonna need all the work to make it look clean.

why not just source leather rear seats out of a LE hatch?

[Jakeypoo<3]

Clicked on this thread expecting to see kyles coupe.

Should have known that would be too good to be true.

because they would be the only part of my interior that was leather. if i had leather fronts, yeah sure. in my head ive pictured what it would look like and i dunno, itd be an improvement but it doesnt fit the look im trying to accomplish. and i like projects, and im sure this is gonna take a while

[Jakeypoo<3]

Lol so umad that your cars a f*** pile of s*** right?

Cool bro.

Hopefully oneday your car will be as cool as his.

And then hopefully you don't crash it drinking and driving.

Sounds like some one is on the rag, lol Btw his car is by now means a Piece of Sh*t, trust me that thing kicks a** and beside all it needs is some paint and it will look F*cking great. So ya my 2 cents. Either way, Ryan your old hatch and wing from the green car are going on this week as well as the trans so ya look for it on my build thread. oh and I will talk to my Pap about primering your car near the end of the week.

Lol!

CLASSIC f*** NICOCLUB right here.


If you think his car "kicks a**" i feel really sorry for whatever your car looks like.
Sounds like YOURE the one that lost his "anal Virginity" in the back of some POS nissan.

p.s., Did you cup the balls?

Ok seriously yall need to stop this... this is stupid and retarded. On both of your behalf. His car is a work in progress. I feel fully confident that it'll be just as nice as his old one when he is done with it. But your both being immature about this and it needs to stop. Seriously

[SoCal-S13]

agreed. thanks for gettin my back cody. but lets knock this off.

and sweetypoo <3 there are like 8768768968 people with nicer 240's than me. but this one is mine and i think ive done pretty well since the demise of my old car. i hit a $10,000 speed bump and im still goin, if you cant respect that then i am sorry for you. each person on here has a different budget, different idea, and different means of working on their car. some dont own every tool, some dont have a lift, some have to pay money for s*** others have the means to do themselves. So hating on members that are less equipped than others is pretty ridiculous. Hey....they could have been honda owners, but theyre not. grow the f*** up and have some respect.

[SoCal-S13]

wow. just looked at this pic





my need for kouki tails has never been greater. those lights gotta GO. and so does that freakin red lip. i hate it.

[SoCal-S13]

f***. my old hatch's current status.

[Cody240]

I think I hear taps playing, that poor thing it has been ripped apart to no end. But on the up side the parts are being well taken care of and really work quite well. I get complements all the time on those tails and wheels.

[SoCal-S13]

installed some lippage today

[420sxWETDREAMS]

looking good brotha! Cant wait to lower mine and put my wheels on...(A little envy from my end)

[SoCal-S13]

yeah. my driveway is now an "issue" tho.

[SoCal-S13]

played with my coilovers today.

Dude you should for real quit drinking!! Your first 240 was super sexy, then you fixed it and it looked good, then you got drunk and crashed it again!! There are not that many nice, clean, sexy 240s out there anymore! Please try keep the ones we got left on this earth nice!! Good luck with your 2nd 240sx project, hope all goes well!! You need to quit drinking though, even on speacial occasians! When i seen the crash pics of that super clean green 240, it made me sad/pissed/and my heart sunk!! You dont want to kill yourself, or anyone else on the road, by being drunk! I know a dude that was driving drunk, in his camaro and he hit a van going 95mph and almost killed the 3 kids and the mom in the car!! He was in jail for a very long time, and he suffered from massive depression from it!!
