Ben: how'd your vert clean up?

Nolmack · 12-11-2007, 10:23 AM

wow man nice ass build.... congrats Clean as all hell.

Wondering how you put those side skirts on. We tried putting them on my friends car, and they wouldn't fit because of those metal flanges that sit underneath on the underside of the side skirts.

ripnbst · 12-11-2007, 08:47 PM

Bump for a baller ass build and props for doing it right the first time unlike most 240 owners. Than again it did take 4 years, but I would rather build a beauty over 4 years than a pile of bargain parts in 6 mos.

The Riot Hero · 12-11-2007, 09:06 PM

very clean build, nice car. ake sure you re torque that mr/ gasket copper gasket, you think theyre tight when you put it on and they crush down more and leak. just a heads up!

cbcustoms · 12-11-2007, 09:10 PM

i need to learn how to save lol

diomedes · 12-11-2007, 09:13 PM

Man, if only I can build something that clean.

Props to the builders.

blitzkrgCT9A · 12-11-2007, 09:38 PM

khilgers · 12-12-2007, 03:04 PM

Steering wheel showed up today

also my new wheels came, I know everyone has them but for the price and weight you can't beat it.

17x9.5 +18
17x10 +18

and I just ordered these from Touge Factory to use as drift spares. Damn good deal on these, 3 piece, forged, SSR watanabe RS-8, 17x9 +25 for $200 shipped.

KA-T_240 · 12-12-2007, 04:44 PM

I hopefully am going to make it to the big nissan meat this spring that is being talked about on MNSC. Hope to see you there.

Baron Fel · 12-12-2007, 04:54 PM

aznpoopy · 12-12-2007, 06:22 PM

no, I trimmed off most of the left side of the auto break pedal for easier heel/toe. As for painting the wheels, I'll wait until they get beat up more at the track, then re-paint them a different color.

bah, red x's before the SR even gets close to the car! Apparently I'm a late-bird because this thread is from July and I'm just now seeing it.

low and slow · 12-12-2007, 09:44 PM

Pics are still workin' for me.

Pank · 12-12-2007, 11:46 PM

nice damn build. i wish my car ever got that amount of cash in presents

. I got bored and tried to see if i could pull any color information out of one of your sepia toned pix, and lo and behold, there was enough to work with.
shadows are a little too blue for my liking, but hey, i only spent 5 mins on it.
watch those white balances

*downshift_sideways* · 12-12-2007, 11:53 PM

Well done. Beautiful build!

intel · 12-13-2007, 12:05 AM
