Dear Fro,

I like the color of your vehicle. It is unique and really stands out with that color.
Did you cut the cross bar outta the bumper yourself?

Navan photo shoot next spring with alcolade and whore hey?

Thank you for the compliments kind sir.

I am still unsure of my feelings towards the color of my automobile as it appears different every time I look at it - regardless I prefer it to the multicolored look of previous times.

I did remove the crossbar out of the bumper myself after a late night tow strap failure. I removed the bumper from the car and used a hack saw blade (out of the saw) and slowly removed the sections. It was easier than expected.

We shall have a photo shoot when you are ready. Let us prepare for this moment.

I think it would look LOADS better with OEM corners, clear turn signals, and clear sidemarkers.

Probably.

But I don't like clear corners/lenses/side markers.

Long hair don't care.

Teddy Bruckshot · 10-12-2012, 08:50 AM

I love the color choice fro! I originally wanted to paint my car something similar to that , but a little darker and less prismatic. Your build is coming along nicely

240sxdriftin · 10-12-2012, 09:57 AM

Let the rebuild begin... (hood isn't staying just set there for storage haha)

1on1 · 10-12-2012, 12:03 PM

Amber got to go.

Edit: I just never liked amber lights.

Yea I would love to lower it but I didn't want to break the bank on some coils before getting my engine. Any suggestions on good coils that I can possibly get for a decent price? Or any other options

It's going back to this ride height/wheel combination shortly.

Also, considering stripping the amber film off of my marker lights now that you kids have me thinking about it. I really like the bumper lights and side markers amber, but after adding a hood badge, I'm coming to the realization that there may be too many different colors on the front end. The hood badge is black, the grill is black, and the head lights are white/clear... So I'm thinking that I need to cut down on the amber to allow everything to flow better...

Somewhat related:

Painted/Dyed my door cards, front and rear seats black. Came out pretty decent, sorry for the shitty picture, I'll get out a real camera once the wheels are on.

JonathanPrem · 10-12-2012, 04:16 PM

Let me know how that goes. I wanted to do that but i'm scared the dye will fade on to my clothes

SidewayzAsFck · 10-12-2012, 05:13 PM

If anyone has a set of coils that are in good condition they are selling send me a pm! Can't take the monster truck madness wave!

eDmSiL80 · 10-12-2012, 05:15 PM

mad-ass · 10-13-2012, 12:20 AM

holy fucking rake.

either raise the front or lower the rear.

illvialuver · 10-13-2012, 12:34 AM

I used that dupont interior vynle and fabric paint and dye and it holds up, and gets softer the more you use it.

kanekoa28 · 10-13-2012, 04:05 AM

Finally got it running straight. Just need to paint now

Had some fun with the GoPro

As of right now, I haven't had any issues with the dried paint coming off of the seat. I found that giving the seats a good 24hrs to dry before sitting in them is a good idea. I had some minor issues with my driver's seat as I tried to work with it immediately after painting, but otherwise, nothing.

Thanks bro. After I source some Ganadors and a Kouki wing, I might look into spraying the car again, but I'm not sure. Kind of wish the teal was more like yours. :/

pmq.s14 · 10-13-2012, 09:17 AM

Kanekoa28, are you riding 18's? I want the same aero, but the problem is I can't be that low around here

or i might have to find bigger wheels just to get a bit more ground clearance.

blksylv · 10-13-2012, 09:58 AM

im thinking of maybe changing out my silvia grill for a navan one... what do ya'll think? i'm kinda up in the air at the moment

I kind of like the Silvia one better than Navan, but that's just me.

Any of you dudes running either a Bride Gias or Stradia on a Planted Bracket? I'm looking at buying one Monday, but I just want to make sure that it's not going to sit higher than stock.

if you want info copy and paste that in the address bar, but cliff note, Tomei is going to develop parts for the usdm 240sx. They sent their s14 from their shop here in Lake Forest Ca there with their FRS. Pretty stoked on this.
