The "Drift Truck"....(not 56k safe)

[JAU663]

when will y'all get it... NO WINDOW!!!!!! The roll cage just does not permit it. There is another horizontal bar on the inside just where the window would be... it would be through the line of vision out the back making the window totally useless. PLEASE QUIT BEATING A DEAD HORSE!!!!!

Why do you think cheap tires makes for a good drift truck? I'm a little lost here. I mean unless this car was built for cone dodging tight parking lots with low speed...

Drifting eats tires. "Cheap" tires doesn't mean crappy tires, it just means good tires for much less than the same tires of a lower profile.

[TRBOMOFO]

love it that is awesome ed

You can't be serious about that first three words...you think I've been living under a rock? Really? Drifting eats tires...ZOMG!!! And the rest, uhm....what? Same tires of a lower profile? Am I from a different planet? Cheap tires usually means ****ty compound, poor/uneven wear, and unpredictable heat characteristics throughout the depth of the tread.

And JAU663...you're the only one beating anything. Stop posting that same paragraph...if you want to call it one. Seriously..it looks like **** without anything resembling a window..it looks "cheap". By PAINING a window on it you can have the best of both acceptable worlds. It gives off a better look and doesn't interfere with the "cage". Seriously...take the criticism for what it is..it's not a personal attack AND WOULD LOOK WORLDS BETTER. Mahalo!

[redtop91]

That was sure constructive... Thanks for that.

[DJButton]

Well... needless that was indeed, keep the venom turned to low please, kthxbye!

Sorry, but I wasn't losing it or getting out of hand. I was inserting sarcasm for amusement purposes. In no sense of the word was I angered, upset, or out of control. Hahaha, seriously...perception is the key. I <3 the interweb.

[DJButton]

In that case, I hate you, go diaf you fail at life!!

I'm going to hazard a guess that the main reason no window painting is happening is mainly due to time constraints. They're trying to get this thing on the track this weekend with plenty of work yet to do...

Nice truck!

[eds13]

and i have a day to get this piece running. i have no fuel on cylinder #1. and 135 150 135 135 compression. and a f'd wiring harness. it dosnt look good.

[S13xCrazy]

uh oh. damn.

If you were closer I'd give a hand, but damn man. Where'd the motor come from that it has so many problems?

[theharlequin]

Nico decal where the rear window would be? Might take up the big orange space nicely

+1

Good luck with the compression

cold comp tests suck most of the time, but you dont need me to tell you that do you, good luck, Im sure you will work your magic.

[crakin]

wow, sweet project. stoked for more pics!

see this face , this is my jealous face!

ahhhh NOTSLOW UR DAMN AVITAR BOTH CONFUSES ME AND MAKES ME DIZZY.......LOOKS LIKE BILLY ZANE and some ugly monkey crossbred chick.

[R6_240sx]

From a CA.

lol

Haha, that's more like it!

Ed, those numbers don't look so hot, but that 150 looks good. When did you do the compression test? (hot or cold) Like it was mentioned you might see significantly different numbers that could put you at ease. Don't rush the car if you feel it's not really going to happen, it may end up being a costly mistake.

Ed, looks cool buddy. I'd do like that one cat said and "paint" a back window on. It seriously looks better that way from the quick chop.

what is this drift?

[eds13]

compression test was donee cold, it hasnt run in the car yet.... wiring nightmares it looks like.....

picked up a CA for it tonight, got a shload of work to do the next 3 days and i have to work at least 1 of the 3 days. -_-

if anybody wants to help out i would welcome them. i still have interiour to go in, lights to bolt in. the whole freakin swap to do.....

any particular reason u picked the CA over...lets say an SR? great car by the ways

P.S. if u ever do make it street legal, would getting a small rear window in between the rollcage bars for rear mirror use be possible? (like the lambo countach) ~puts up flame shield~

[Abdo]

180sx kouki taillights!!Mind if I ask where you purchased them from?

[eds13]

ca was the only thing avalible, i would have gone sr if there would have been time and avaliblity.

the koukis i got off some retard in GA named "B E N I F I T X "....NOT A GOOD SELLER!!!!! i had to start a paypal dispute with him to get my money. then the back sides of the housing are melted...

wanna trade? I wanted a CA, and ended up only finding SR's.As soon as this thing is in good enough running shape I demand some action footage!

[BallzDeep1.9L]

that car is baller.. my mom said so

[Quail]

Wow, car/truck looks great. I love the wheel choice!

[WidebodyZ]

I love the wheel choice!

Really??? Why? I don't think they match the car at all. Those are older school styled wheels and everything else on the car screams newer school of thought. I think they're great as spares..but as far as "the look" it's not doing it for me at all. A different set of wheels would TOTALLY set this car off (and stance).

[Quail]

I guess im just bored of seeing the same old 18" JDM Supa-tyte wheels on 240s (although I am in the market for 18" JDM Supa-tyte wheels to replace my tired SA3Rs, so I'm a bit of a hypocrite). Its a refreshing change to see some original wheel choices.
