Spent some quality time with my whip

[daconkiftador]

This builds awesome, keep up on the good work!

[Quail]

Nice work man! Those new wheels look so much better. I want to ditch my advans for some dish!

You should do I writeup on your gauge pod build - looks good!

[/QUOTE]WTF kind of seats do you have?

[gripstr]

Looks like stock seats with fluffy inserts

[SlipnSliden 240]

They are stock seats with fluffy covers. I gave those seats away.

Here is a quick update pic. This pic is both the front wheels on the pass side now. I had two 225/40R18 mounted on the 18x9.5j's but they are too tall. They hit my front fender where the bumper meets. Im gonna see if the tire shop will stretch those on the 11j's and then I will run a 215/35R18. I have seen smaller tires then that streched so we will see.

looking good man. 2153518 on a 9.5" wide wheel seems like a crazy stretch though. i use 2153518's on an 8" wheel, and its already stretched. do you have any pics of 2254018s on 11"s and 215s on 9.5"??

[SlipnSliden 240]

225/40 18 on a 11j. Mounted it myself. Couldnt find a tire shop to do it. Wasnt to hard. I dont know if I trust the bead being like that.









And here is a pic of the face of the wheel.

[socal_S13Demon]

Dam that is stretched.... is it safe to drive on them like that?

[240wootie]

you live in kennewick? where do you drift at? i live in La Grande

[ImpaktBloo]

Good lawd now thats a stretch. I'd be kinda skeptical of that, looks like nice pot hole from coming off the bead and leaking all over the place. Love the custom work though!

[whatisonikyan]

So very nice.

[fc3sdrifter121]

wow, that looks rediculous.why not go with a 255

[Tsukiko]

i second that.

if you cant fit the tire meant for the wheel, whats the point?

why dont we all just put our stock suspension back on while we're at it, then cut our springs? oh yeah and we need some lambo doors, and a wing like the DC-10 one that Todd stole and put on his car.

[iwantans13]

The only thing I dont like is the RHD conversion.

[Tsukiko]

actually, im a fan of the car as a whole... i like the RHD conversion, and the fact that its a silvia front on a coupe instead of a hatch. The hatches look unbalanced with a sil front end... I even like the body kit. The engine bay is clean as all hell, and im not even a fan of advans normally, but they fit the car very well. Theres only one other car ive seen with those wheels that i liked, and its that one euro spec 200sx from across the pond... cant remember whose it is. it was a NICO ROTM, so im sure you all know which one im talking about.

anyway- love the car, at the wheels and tires. its at least a semi-serious drift car, right? all im saying is...

form<function.

[seejaytoo]

holy shiite @ that tire stretch, looks crazy, way cool, but crazy. your car is bad A, a very nice piece of work, keep it goin

[Camry]

BALLIN!!! that's all I have to say. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[R6_240sx]

That's too stretched IMO.

[HashiriyaS14]

That is some wacky-a$$ hipari tire, wow. Looks sorta neat in a boso sort of way, but I'm not sure how safe it is. I also appear to be the fiftieth person who's saying that.

I'm generally not a huge fan of outrageous flared kits and super super super low cars, but it still looks good.

Are you going to paint the rear qtrs?

Good Paint > Nice Wheels

At least from a priority standpoint, IMO.

Is it wrong to say that I preferred the SA3Rs? LOL.

[SlipnSliden 240]

Im not running that stretch. I just wanted to see if it would fit since I had the tires. I had them on the 9.5's. I think I will just run a 225/35 18. and a 245/35 18. 245/40's came off the 11's but 40 series sidewall is too much. Besides auto x every once and a while all I do with the car is drift. To answer the question of where? I have taken it to portland a couple of times. Now that they are having events in spokompton, I will take it there, and most the time the auto x guys are really cool with it there. The car will get paint, its on the long list of stuff. A dark dark almost black, blue color, with a blue pearl.

[night240]

You need new sig atfer this looks good.

[blaknavy]

i like the whip

[Vernal]

I am sorry to get way off topic. but I have to give props to seejaytoo for having a super clean *** 240. That is refreshing to see a 240 that clean.

Oh and by the way, nice build up. Im not a fan of dubs and body kits but as long as you like it, go for it.

[SlipnSliden 240]

How do you run your car LOW, and keep full suspension travel?



and here is a couple of update pics.



Just testing my "flexane" mounts. I can lower the engine at least a 1/4in. I want it as low as posible.

[HPR]

I'm really loving your car. Keep up the great work and keep us posted!
