spring opener + preview? (picture intensive)

[livinglegend2100]

so its finally nice enough outside so i snapped a couple pics while i was out burning up some gas.

quick shot of the garage. and all of its "no room for s***" goodness..

cleaned up the shell a little bit. picked it up last fall. havent gotten around to doing anything with it yet. "yet" despite its extreme lack of paint on the passenger side, and no front clip, its extremely clean. from cali of course

interiors pretty clean as well. if you get past the wiring harness and misc parts on the floor.

what? full interior in the back? as cool as it is to be JDM mad tyte drift king i think im gonna leave the interior in this one. im SO sick of all the road noise

mmmm potentiallllllll

bunch of random parts and s***. slowly accumulating...

so apparently this is what happens with you forget to fill your car with oil after an oil change. NOTE: previous owner. NOT me..

it even punched through the AC bracket!

there you have it. stay tuned for my build thread in mid may

love the car and the color!

[S13xCrazy]

Beautiful car man! I love it.

[darens13]

looks great! did you use "nightshade" on your turn signals?

[Steady_One_S13]

Nice color,

[livinglegend2100]

thanks. im thinking or repainting the red one the same green when i colsolidate them into one car. oops did i let that out?

ya the turn signals are tinted with nightshade. i had the rears done too cuz the car came with some gay a** altezzas. that helped a little. but the stock tails look sooo much better\\

thanks for all the input so far guys

[xX RB Xx]

car looks great man.

what wheels are those? i like them and i wondering if they have bigger offsests

[freakyjason]

Clean man. I like that full frontal shot (2nd pic).

to be honest with you i have no idea. i got them from a buddy of mine and all i know is that theyre 18x8. the closest thing i have found to them are HP evos. but theres subtle differences between them. but the offset on these is pretty homosexual.

i think im gonna pick up a set of those HP's when the time comes so i can get something close to these in a respectable offset... haha

[AZ89two4Tsx]

What color is the hatch in the first pic? Green? Gray?

Anyways, nice pics!

[Taylor008]

The second picture is amazing!

What are your plans for the red car? I'm guessing SR from the manifold...

[Ghast]

Awesome Bro!

I finally get to see your car.

Very clean.

One Love,

Ghasty

[livinglegend2100]

thanks a lot guys. really appreciate the positive feedback. to answer your questions:

the car is indeed green. its like, a dark emerald forest green. lol if that makes sense. idk what its called. but it is an oem paint job.

plans for the red one? i didnt wanna let it slip until the build thread happens BUT, im combining the green and red 240's into one SUPER 240. lol mainly im sick of dealing with the rust on the green one. the red shell is from cali. so its not an issue anymore.

motorwise? im rebuilding the KA from the green one and boosting it with shown turbo setup. minus the exhaust manifold. for obvious reasons.

im also thinking of painting the red one (when its up and running) the same green as on the other one. hard to tell right now but when its freshly washed, waxed, and detailed, that green is pure sex in the sun

i think i covered everything

[adrianfromthecastle]

looks awesome!

[livinglegend2100]

thanks maaan.

i cant believe nobody's commented on my downward facing fart can...

[adrianfromthecastle]

thanks maaan.

i cant believe nobody's commented on my downward facing fart can...

thanks for pointing that out!

[livinglegend2100]

haha i know.. i hate it as much as you do man. it was like that when i bought it. i have a blitz nur spec system in my room but its for the turbo. i would put it on but i dont wanna shell out the $100 for a longtube header.

im only gonna be driving it for another couple months before it goes under the knife so im trying to deal with it in the time being... lol

[livinglegend2100]

soooo its been forever and i kind of forgot about this thread. so much for a build i guess. the project is "done" but its gettin re-ringed this winter so i guess ill document that. but in the meantime heres a couple pics i had on my phone. i know the fitment in the front leaves a little to be desired. be gentle.

[King Ranzo]

Yay for Piggy. Not loving the wheels, but the car is nice. Just needs a paintjob.

[livinglegend2100]

lol GIR.

yea its a work in progress. i was gonna invest in some better wheels but i blew the rings about a month ago .

paint is coming, but it needs a little body work, some fender rolling, etc. plus people tend to underestimate it when it looks like a pile of s***. makes blowing peoples doors off that much more satisfying..

[King Ranzo]

I happen to be Nico's official Gir.

Might I suggest some Work Emotions as your next wheel choice. Just a dash of negative camber and a bit of a wheel stretch and you'll have a sexy car.

[240sxJoe91]

Very nice dude like both of your cars..The hood looks good on the green 240.

work vs-xx's actually. just love 'em. and i already have -1.9 degrees of camber in the front and -2.4 degrees of camber in the rear.

Very nice dude like both of your cars..The hood looks good on the green 240.

thanks. yea i miss that hood. had to sell it to pay rent though.. lol traded it for $300 and that s***ty vented hood that i have now

[livinglegend2100]

and for the record i dont have the green one anymore . but the drivetrain and half of everything else on it went to the one i have now. as beautiful as that green was she was just too rusty to handle anymore
