The Sil40 has paint yo!!! (No way 56K)

[ZOMG.SR20]

how much fabric did you get for that price

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Idk my dad bought it. Like 3 running yards. It's a LOT of fabric. $70 ish I think, more or less.

Take a stock 240sx Hood VS a stock Silvia hood (s13). The silvia hood right off the bat is going to have more drag then the 240 hood, because the 240 hood comes down in the middle, like points down. The silvia hood does not, it is slightly curled. What happenes at slightly high speeds in a RWD car or any car for that matter? Back end dips, raising the front up a little bit. I do not think i need to explain the rest, enough stress anywhere is going to cause it to break, But i think hood pins are only needed on certain types of hood designs. More of a better safe then sorry type of thing.

One Love,

Lowering the s13 and more than a 2 or 3 inches will ruin its aerodynamic low pressure down force. If you don't exactly know what it is there are a ton of articles sitting around. Hood pins are a sense of security on any car IMO. But when it comes down to it... We're all just jealous because you have 1 color on your silvia conversion and we don't. I'm still rocking 5 different colors and I've had the conversion for over a year.

[musashin]

I see a lot of imperfections. Hope you didn't pay too much.

Love the color though.

[Uberck]

damn clean as f***. sweet rims man. how much did the paint job cost

[MellowZ32]

OMG jailbait your car is teh sex!

[Ghast]

Ghasty, window tint is a must, especially out here. That'll be one of the first things I do once I get it tagged/street legal. I'm leaving it stock body right now, no aero. I'll see how it does on the street as is, it's already pretty low. As far as the corners and bumper lights, they're oem corners and amber lights that are both being "smoked." Hopefully they'll turn out decent. I'm really thinking about Type X lights but some other things must come first, like A/C lol.

Ahhh i understand, priority first.

And with your corners and bumper lights smoked it is going to look very aggressive.

If you do Type X lights + tint. You will not need Aero, that is my personal opinion on that.

[Koshin]

your car just wants to be lowered a little more...pleez give your car what it wants...

[mattblancarte]

Damn, how did I not see this thread???

[sk8punk235]

Great color, looks clean as F$#k. Awesome steering wheel choice if I might add too.

[SolaraOnBronze]

I hope you didn't wax it right after it was painted! I made that mistake once on a trunk I had redone, and the paint never hardened right... looks good though!

[Steady_One_S13]

That paint job is hottt! The overall look of your 240 is stunning!

[S13Joe]

Looks good, makes me want to get my coupe painted even more.

[wynnEZ]

Can we get a close up of the hood pins please.

nobody cares

[xrproto07]

Looking sick mane keep that shiz up

[ShereKhan]

NOT SCRAPE YOUR CAR! THATS NOT THE AZ WAY! Did you go to poe for the paint?

[urcaptnspeaking]

since when does downforce need to be addressed on a street car?

[heartofaskyline]

Just to throw it out there, It ALL depends on how the hood is made.

well one of the hoods that flew up was a stock style VIS hood for an s13 w/ popups. the other was a vented silvia hood. those are just two that ive seen personally, ive heard of much worse

Kinda. When I first talked to him, he was getting his own shop but working with him still. When I took the car to him, he had just moved to his new place.

Here's a thread on it (AZ240sx). E-mail me if you need anything.

wynnEZ, here's a few of the hood pins. Sorry for the ugly underside of the hood lol.

[S133P3R]

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Thanks guys.

[S133P3R]

[eDmSiL80]

those ssrs?

how much were they n wat sizes do they come in?

they look niceee.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Yeah they're SSR's. I got mine off craigslist for a steal so I couldn't tell you what they usually run. The downside is they're not in baller offsets, but the price made up for it. I've seen them on the OTHER FORUM though in better sizes, just look around.

They're MS1's btw. Here's a link to their website. They're kinda pricey.
