TurK · 11-20-2004, 10:51 AM

that shit looks very clean man.....i love the wingless look

nightwalker · 11-20-2004, 10:53 AM

LOOKS LIKE CRAP! haha! ...J/k man. I'm just jealous. One day, I'll get a paint job too. Then I can finally see reflections in my paint like yours.

cr00k_lyn · 11-20-2004, 10:57 AM

yah wingless is my favorite as well. i couldn't find a wing that i liked, so i just got the holes filled in.

nightwalker: thanks man... but i'd say im about 90% satisfied with the job. theres some small instances of overspray and some orange peel here and there. i guess i can't complain at all for the price i paid, and for the amount of body work they had to do. (car was in a rear 1/4 panel accident before i sent it in)

cr00k_lyn: i'll try and take some more today

heres a small mod list:
apexi coilovers
MB Motorsports klazzy lims. 17X9 17off, 17X8 27off

falken FGK's, 245's & 235's
front / rear strut bar
short shifter
momo wheel / sparco seat
aem intake

next comes the LSD and RUCA.

just for the record to all you zenki lovers... my car came with a kouki front end, and i switched to zenki, and spent the extra money i made on my wheels. i must say i like zenki better.. seems to flow

old style:

ss045 · 11-20-2004, 12:41 PM

seems like a zenki revolution afoot. Nice job.

kazuo · 11-20-2004, 01:42 PM

You need a rear valence (unless I am stupid; I don't see it)...

Maybe a 5mm spacer up front...

But otherwise I love it. Nice and clean.

Props to you!

Ritz S14 · 11-20-2004, 02:22 PM

Very clean. Loving how they painted the base of the side mirrors.

csdcowboy · 11-20-2004, 02:33 PM

Very nice...I love those rims on your car....very sexy!

**ThatGuy** · 11-20-2004, 02:38 PM

Car looks very clean, but I think it needs rear valences.

MakotoS13 · 11-20-2004, 02:54 PM

those look like mb motoring wheels, no?

perhaps...

kingsol · 11-20-2004, 03:38 PM

nice wheels, but i think you could still use spacers... maybe a 10 in the front and 5 in the back

Salty_X · 11-20-2004, 03:49 PM

I really like it overall, but there are a couple things...

Mainly the sideskirts with stock front bumper and no rear, I think it'd look much better without them. I think it would also help if the lip and mirrors were black, but that's just me. Some spacers in the front wouldn't hurt either.
I still like the car though. Good job.

los · 11-20-2004, 03:53 PM

How much was the paint job?

fujiwara · 11-20-2004, 06:49 PM

spacers eh? might be a good idea...

as for the side skirts and front... i personally think they look ok, but i do realize i need some sort of rear under valeance. looks sorta empty.

los: 1400. my car was hit in the rear 1/4 when i sent it in, so he had to do some major body work as well as the paint.

los · 11-20-2004, 07:41 PM

Hmmm...Where is the shop located?

95Blue240sx · 11-20-2004, 08:09 PM

looking good. the color you had before looks pretty damn nice. im not a fan a white but hey it looks good. time for you to get a rear valence! good job

Zenki Revolution!!! LMAO

RBS14 · 11-20-2004, 08:45 PM

why is there such a lack of camber up front? looks really weird to me.

I second what Kazuo said.

other than that, it looks great! good job.

TokyoNights · 11-20-2004, 09:11 PM

nOOOOOOO! you killed the kouki. You need a silvia grill and some valances also,,i got some for sale if ya want them

CreAziaN · 11-20-2004, 09:56 PM

your old kouki was beautiful. The new zenki is nice, but i'm not a real fan of the USDM front bumper. Besides that, I must say that car is AWESOME. The rims are great...how much did they cost?

Flybert · 11-21-2004, 01:16 AM

Why'd you get rid of the kouki tails? They look so much better.

full zenki conversion

240Stilo · 11-21-2004, 04:12 AM

Not sure how much camber is up front stock but I'm pretty sure you might be off.From my experience with stock alignment, I was able to fit 17x8 +10 up front with 235/45 tires. Only time it rubbed was driving downhill "fast" and going into a turn where the ground leveled off midturn. Turns like that put lots of force on the front corners, but it wasn't anything drastic enough to rip a fender or anything.

RBS14 · 11-21-2004, 11:07 AM

werd, you should always have at least as much front camber as rear, if not more.

old_s13 · 11-21-2004, 11:55 AM

car looks good, gets my approval.. i'de rock it.

nice to see a clean car, its a breath of fresh air from the SHIT i've seen posted on here lately.

fujiwara · 11-21-2004, 02:52 PM

los: whittier

flybert: i never had kouki tails, the car is a zenki and came with a kouki front, and i just put the zenki back on to match the rest.

about the camber... i know im in dire need of RUCA's, but im not really sure about the lack of front camber. i know that i am running apexi crapsport coilovers which dont have plates, but i would still think that lowering it the amount i did would increase camber noticably.

CreAziaN: 850 shipped with tires mounted and balanced =].

mikespeed: already have a grill, but rear valeances i'd consider. ill shoot ya a pm.

thanks for the comments**

mellojoe · 11-21-2004, 07:54 PM

Did you have to pull the fenders to fit 245's on 9" wide wheels in the rear?

and are those 245/45/17? or 245/40s? or what?
