Finally!!! Got my front end fixed! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

BadMoJo · 11-27-2003, 06:04 PM

***NOT 56k Safe***

Ok, some of you may remember a little over a YEAR ago I smashed the front driver corner of my zenki in the sig.

Insurance screwed me on the money so up until now I couldnt afford to fix it. (yeah it took me a year save up enough)

But Now its fixed.... pure Kouki goodness.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Sorry for whoring my car like nitekids, But I am just freakin stoked that I finally got it fixed!

Happy Turkey Day!

s14falcon · 11-27-2003, 06:08 PM

OOOH, AAH. Looks great man, the kouki front is much nicer.

Methinks its time to change that sig.

Are those the jdm projectors?

BadMoJo · 11-27-2003, 06:16 PM

yeah, jdm tYt3 Kouki headlights and Grill.

s13chica · 11-27-2003, 06:27 PM

YAY! Glad to see that you finally got the car fixed! It really does look so much better now...but you already knew that...hehe.

zero.counter · 11-27-2003, 06:30 PM

That is a sweet looking ride. How much were the parts for your conversion, total? That is if you don't mind.

DRFT · 11-27-2003, 07:27 PM

Nice looking car, are those the cobra rims?

Johny5 · 11-27-2003, 07:48 PM

i swear there was a definite mental connection. back when i saw your old front end on those wheels i was sketchy, love the wheels to death, and the width/prices are perfect. however, i didn't think it'd look good on a kouki front end. but sir, that looks fucking killer. i do believe its time to save for some cobra R's.

BadMoJo · 11-27-2003, 08:01 PM

Thanks man, They work well with the car. I wish they were a bit lower offset tho. 17x8 +30 is nice but I am thinkin about a 10mm spacer, that would bring them nice and flush.

95Blue240sx · 11-27-2003, 10:32 PM

i hate you bill. what the hell is up with that!?!? making me feel like my car is shit you whore. haha, looks good though! i love the black lip. car flows nicely. but you really are a zenki at heart!

No Motiv · 11-27-2003, 10:56 PM

WOW

thats some nice stuff

ahh i love it, i love nissan

SilviaSR20DET · 11-27-2003, 11:18 PM

Im just curious what suspension are you currently running? looks like a perfect drop.

BadMoJo · 11-27-2003, 11:54 PM

The drop looks nice, but the rear could be a little lower. BUT although it looks nice it could perform better. The springs are Tanabe Super Downs with KYB GR-2 struts. The setup is to low for a shock that soft. I will be switching to some JIC coilovers as soon as I have the cash to do so.

And yeah... I still have love for the Zenki.

Powashiftin · 11-28-2003, 12:42 AM

where did u get the cobra wheels at? what tire size are you running?

holisticbeatz · 11-28-2003, 01:58 AM

You even got the kouki side skirts.. sweeet! However, you've betrayed your zenki roots! LOL.. it's all good, I probably would've done the same.

**mrmephistopheles** · 11-28-2003, 11:01 AM

Bill: holy WOW. that looks GREAT.

-E- · 11-28-2003, 11:07 AM

damn looks sweet

whateverjames · 11-28-2003, 11:20 AM

That is one nice looking car.

I got them off of a Guy who lives in torrance who had them on his rb25 powered s14.

And I am running shitty Kumho 712's right now, 235/40/17. I am going to switch to some Yoko es100's soon though.

*HaLo* · 11-28-2003, 11:49 AM

Looks very nice!!!

That pearl white is amazing.

blxmjx · 11-28-2003, 11:56 AM

Looks awesome. Nice and super clean. That pearl white does look really nice.

*Grant* · 11-28-2003, 12:00 PM

wow, its about friggin time bill!

BadMoJo · 11-28-2003, 12:42 PM

Yeah no shit man, Only took me a year and a half. Thats what happens when you are poor AND you dont want multi-colored body panels.

Maeda · 11-28-2003, 01:39 PM

Theres no shame in the multicolored body panel look, unless you busted a fender on a puppy, small child, or old lady's oldsmobile, or just the same old lady.

Another Happy S14 gets PMS...

NICE body work though!

*transient* · 11-28-2003, 02:01 PM

No-one mentioned the lip, I love the look. Are you going to leave it black? Btw, is that just a flat black? It looks really good.

SilviaDriver · 11-28-2003, 02:06 PM

nice. not very fond of the front bumper but thats just me.

theres a jdm kouki front bumper on ebay right now thats in white too. would go well with ur grill and headlights

BadMoJo · 11-28-2003, 03:18 PM

The lip is just black plastic, not painted or anything just how it comes from nissan. And I am going to leave it black, I think it looks better like that.

And as far as the bumper goes, I do like the jdm one a bit better than the USDM one. BUT after I saw the car when it was done it has grown on me quite a bit so its gonna stay that way for now.

And thanks for all the positive comments guys.

OptionZero · 11-28-2003, 04:28 PM

you have PM.

Sway500 · 11-28-2003, 06:11 PM

Dude that is beautiful. Its nice and clean, your car is the first one I have seen with the USDM Kouki front on it that I actually like.

DoriftoSlut · 11-28-2003, 06:55 PM

It sucks!

Just kidding. Looks NICE. But you need some 30mm spacers! Then those wheels would be as flush as my 17x9 +10s. Yeah JDM TyT3 front bampur would be teh sesxx, but it still looks.... NICE (say it with me... NICE. NICE). See? NICE.

KyoLo · 11-29-2003, 10:00 PM

looking tyte just like mine, lol...jk...
yours USDM with JDM headlights..why not get USDM ones? since it's possibly cheaper?
