Out with the Old, In with the...... Older? (56k Maybe)

[42Steps]

New Car (to me) + Empty Campus + Basically Nothing to Do = Night Photoshoot (some good shots some bad)

Don't bother clicking on any of these.... Just link to Imageshack... I'm lazy....

​

A lot of them didn't come out as I would've liked, but they work for now... If I get time in the next couple days I will get some day shots...

1990 240sx Fastback

• 169k on Chassis
• ~4k on the KA24E
• Used trans with ~140k
• Stuff thats Pretty New:
  • Clutch
  • Clutch master/slave cylinders
  • Throwout bearing
  • Brake master cylinder
  • Brembo rotors
  • Pads
• Some cheap "custom" exhaust, but it works for now
• Interior is pretty good, little wear and tear, but not bad at all
• Runs Great, no Problems thus far

Short Term Plans:

• Install new Rack and Pinion (allready have it)
• Install Tein Tie Rods and Rod Ends with ^^ (again, allready have it)
• Switch over Tein Tension Rods
• Purchase Tein S. Techs and maybe new Shocks as well, then of course install them
• Probably buy my brother's S14 Mesh wheels (non-SE, Cheap)
• Strut Bars
• Purchase Steering Wheel Adapter and install Steering Wheel (XMas present from brother)
• Install my Nismo Radiator Cap (+15 hp YO)
• Look into, then possibly switch out Seat Belts from my S14 to the S13 (non-auto)
• Save money for Long Term Plans (see below)

Long Term Plans:

• S13 Silvia Front End Conversion, hopefully Aero bumper, CF Hood
• "Roof" sprayed black, along with maybe a new paint choice
• CA18DET, at the moment at least this is what I am planning
• Tein Super Streets or Something Comparable
• Nice, DD, Interior
• Maybe GTR seats with Reupholstered Rear Buckets
• Other Such Items

All I have to say is it is nice to have torque and a manageable car again..... 8)

Whatever happened with the civic hatch plans?

I got a pretty damn good offer and my brother is pretty damn persuasive when he wants to be....

I'd still like to have one at some point, but for right now I like RWD...

 

[DaGFTDOne]

Traded it for this.... With a tiny bit of money his way.....

Was trying to sell it for practically the past month....

looks nice man cant wait to see you execute the future plans

That makes two of us....

 

[Asthmatic]

I kept what I was getting pretty secret.... I got an offer on Rx7club.com, and just didn't really say anything on here regarding exactly what was going on...

 

[Asthmatic]

You sneak bastard you. Boost that b***h.
EDIT: my buddy just got the s13 front end conversion done like....last week. Looks freakin amazing. I dont think he could have made the body lines any more perfect. You def. need that on ur 240.

 

[42Steps]

All in due time my good man... All in due time...

Edit: Read the plans... I know what I want... My brother is a 240 freak, out of my car enthusiast buddies 3/4 of them have an S13.... Don't worry.... This beeotch will be done right....

 

[Tiso]

How much did you bag her for? I want to get a coupe and do a s13 conversation as well. I'm hoping on hitting up some of these police auctions and hoping I get lucky on finding one and getting it for cheap

 

[42Steps]

Well I traded the FC along with giving him $400.... Otherwise he had some kid that was gonna buy it for $4k until I came along...

 

[Tiso]

well good steal then

 

[42Steps]

well good steal then

Yeah, I'm happy with it so far.... 8)

I shouldn't have to repair anything major for a while, so its basically just gonna be investing and saving for later....

I keep remembering all these parts I have left over on my S14 that I can switch over... 240 compatability rocks...

 

[Tiso]

Compare the S14 to this one? I know the seat belts are auto in the s13 but oh well. Overall feel and everything. Which do you think is a better ride?

 

[Jezek]

congrats man...looks clean.

 

[SXE-10]

ughhh

 

[egb16]

my advatar talks for me

 

[SXE-10]

^^^ i agree with your avatar in regards to that Silvia

why a CA18DET btw? they are good motors, but just old technology (but so is the SR20). CA's are strong, but there isnt a whole lot of aftermarket support for them. at least in america there isnt. might make things a little more complicated than need be.

whats your plans with the car? please dont say drift

Don't come into his thread just to hate ..... (Yeah, I know, said the pot to the kettle)

Nice pick up man, I always loved fastback.

As for the C18 .... maybe he wants to do a SilEighty conversion?
