Courtesy of napa... Its just some random color out of a swatch, nothing specific.

[cmoody2006]

Sleepy14 I love your car man looks sweet in your sig. Whats the latest on this car? Any new pics?

[DJButton]

You mean any new pics besides the ones posted today on the bottom of page 3??

[cmoody2006]

Also why is there a hole in your front fender. Looks like an antenna was once there or something....? Isn't the antenna on the back on all 240's?

[SlipnSliden 240]

The hole is for my wastegate dump.

Picked up some go for it tonight. Evo 9 16GTwinScroll FTW

It will not be widebody in the rear now, A little pull and the 18x11 -3's clear.Here is a couple of "newer" pics

YEEAAAHHHH!!!

[cmoody2006]

So how is that that hole set up? Got any pics of that? Wouldn't water get down into it since its open like that? Nice turbo btw!

[D3stro]

Very nice! Get a GTR frontgrill to complete the look of the car. Totally love the new color. Keep up the good work!

i love the wheelslove the coloryour car is awesome!

[Tsukiko]

looking at those more recent pics makes me wonder (as i have a few other times before) if anyone has ever cut and reshaped (to make it look clean) the rear fenders to match the coverage of the front, which dont come down so far.

cause stock rear fenders seem to make the front wheels appear larger. I know its an optical illusion, but it kinda bugs me.

anyone got pics of that?

[SlipnSliden 240]

I kinda like the illusion it gives, I wanted to "tuck" the rear wheels. But oh well.

Not alot of time as has ben spent on the car recently, being winter and lack of $ right now. But I did get a new toy. Got rid of my Q45 and picked this bad boy up.

[DJButton]

Now that's a winter car! I saw the new pics on Z awhile back, freakin amazing without the widebody in the rear now!

[TOPSECRT88]

Thank you, but now I think Im gonna have to be widebody, I have way too much camber on the rear wheels. I dont think the fenders can be pulled enough to clear. Im looking at the 6666 fenders. But it will be some $$$.

Thank you, it will be the dark blue the front bumper is in some of those pics. The cages is the same color.

Well if you have to go widebody... why not just spring for some of the nicest stuff out there, the 6666 aero is just plain awesome.

EDITZ: Topsecret?? What are you doing posting over here!

[Tsukiko]

i know you probably hear this constantly, but how the hell do you drive that thing without rubbing???

your suspension must not move at all... i tuned my coilovers to the stiffest setting when i first got them and drove it around the block for ****s n giggles but that was the most uncomfortable car ride ever.

how do you make those clearance tolerances work?

[ilovethatemone]

your cars clean man. i like the diy **** you do to it.

[Greasy]

bump for a sexy ride... an inspiration to all of us with sh1tty cars

[cmoody2006]

Updates? Whats new get anything for it for x-mas?

[emo_tactical9]

I guess i just don't get into the whole JDM scene.

Seeing that you didn't wuss out and get over fenders has made my day.

Thank you sir.

Sorry to break it to you, but you are. I guess you dont understand the difference between looking fast and actually being fast.

"riced"- clear taillights, an overly large spoiler, 'Fart cannon' tailpipe, non-functional hood scoop, body kit, despite having no performance modifications to the engine.

"JDM"- a style of modifying, or tuning automobiles, often agreed upon as inspired by motorsports, mainly cars of Japanese origin.Functionality is often preferred over cosmetics for greater performance. However, cosmetics may also be preferred, usually referred to as "clean."

Yes there are some similatities, but there are also some BIG differences... This car is being built to PERFORM... so there for it is NOT ricey. How the hell did you not see all the pics and take them as a obvious hint that this car is being built?!?!?! You must also have missed the part where this car is RHD.

Maybe you need a visual..."RICE"- I dont see how these even look close



"JDM"- This looks a little bit more the same... (lets not forget they are both even RHD!!!)



Let me get this straight, for your interest you put driving?!?!?! And your hating on a car that is in the process of being built for drifting and auto-x? You must have something that is a lot more badass, or you must also not understand "drifting" I also think you need to stfu unless your name is Keiichi Tsuchiya.

Im pretty sure you would get your panties all in a bunch if someone made some stupid *** speculation about your car. My bf was laughing his *** off... Me on the other hand got a little heated. lol. I think I may take his car a little bit too seriously.
