That the one in teaneck? I was going to buy it but ended up picking up a 93 se hatch for a dd. Goodluck with that man, hopefully I'll see it on the road when I get my two tone rolling as well.

xplicit240 · 10-07-2008, 08:32 PM

here ya go as promised. started today already. its at my friends shop. i started trying to prep the engine bay. gonna weld sheet metal by the strut tower and frame some rust.

and yes the one in teaneck, for the person who asked. we need to find more NJ drivers here on zilvia, we should start a Nj section if there isnt one already.

set up a GOKARTING night at V-17

ill keep you guys posted. im trying to round up the parts i need and the motor set. havent decided either KA or SR this. or maybe even an LS1 or LT1 or even a VQ set up, i have access to one.

help me decide

96Turbo · 10-07-2008, 08:48 PM

nice man. is it just me or does that thing look ridiculously high?? My stock ride height isn't quite THAT high.....

xplicit240 · 10-07-2008, 08:51 PM

even in the rear it looks really high for some reason. But i shouldn't talk since i'm still sitting on stock susp. My coils will be installed over winter....

as for engine choice....I recommend a built CA18, or an RB if you wanna be different (i noticed SR wasn't on your list).

VQ or LS would be reeeeal sweet though. Just another notch up as far as difficulty/price goes

It's on 14"s.

xplicit240 · 10-08-2008, 08:41 AM

lol yes it is on 14's.

really a CA? well ive never had one of those. and they are rather in expensive.

and actually i meant the color was silver and gray. not the seafoam green.

trying to find out how much i can pick up LS1's for. they are pretty common maybe even LT1's.

tr4c3 · 10-08-2008, 09:40 AM

Go ka-t. I'm starting to contemplate that over an sr. And I'd be down for a nj section. You should join up on tristatetuners.com, we could use some more 240 bretherin (sp??).

xplicit240 · 10-08-2008, 10:05 AM

how bout Rb20? yeah ill try and start a NJ section here .

sp???? ill check out that forum today.

So far in this life of mine, i've only seen a few things that look halfway decent on the front of a 2 tone coupe:

Silvia front (k's, q's, aero)
Pignose front

What else is there? Most aftermarket bumpers don't incorporate that body line (black tape) that separates the 2 colors, thus making it look like shit IMO. Any rebuttals?

Yuri's old car. With the kouki S14 front end and full aero. Had the original style green/gray two-tone, and I don't anybody didn't like that car.
