Yeah, seriously.

Perma-ban for that.



Love that Coupe, but the wheels have always been over the top for my taste.

Someone should really build a ridiculously awesome Lavender two tone already.

Gearhead, I saw you post up pictures a while ago and thought "holy shit, that's my old coupe". Haha.

What happened to the SR that was in that thing?

I'd love to own it again, but I'm really focused in on my S13 now (Full Kouki 180sx aero). One money pit is more than enough for me.

If you need help sourcing JDM S13 Aero, let me know. I'd be more than willing to help.

shh johnny I was just thinking about lavender frost with gray bottom.

[!Zar!]

Someone want to buy the two tone paint off of my car?

[gearhead55]

edit: (to crimson) RPF1s or the sportmaxes that are on it now? I really don't like the sportmaxes, hard to keep clean and i'm not a fan of 18s on stock bodied cars. The new set up will be silver rpf1s 17x9 fronts and 17x10 rears, lower with a little bit of a pull in the rear to run less camber.

Zar trade me cars and you can paint mine whatever the fuck you want.

Oh, sorry. I was referring to the video posted above.

I personally love 18's in the back of S-chassis. So, 17/18 stagger for me. 17's all around is cool, but the rear always ends up being too low (to match the front rim/tire clearance). 17/18 Stagger lets me tuck out back and still have some decent ground clearance.

RPF's will look great on it. Kind of like that Two-tone coupe that was crushed.

[Wake]

this is the best non-oem 2tone i have ever seen. And if the kid whos idea it was doesnt do it, I might.

If i do non oem, I might just buy a white coupe to start with a fresh base. Otherwise I have to find an OEM sea foam and rock that.

AH gotcha. Yea that SR is now in a 240z, the guy that swapped it (alex at vildini motorsports) said he hasn't heard from the owner since. it put down 280 whp when it was tuned. It wasn't tuned when it was in my car and it bogged at low rpm, i had a RB sitting in my garage for a couple years so i had the bottom end built and had it thrown in there.

i like 17/18 stagger on hatches, but for some reason it looks weird on coupes to me. i like 17s all around for coupes. I dunno about the two tone that was crushed. the only other two tone on rpf1s i know of is Zar's.

When i get around to buying the aero i'll let you know. Thanks!

[!Zar!]

They are talking about this one.

[gearhead55]

oh yea i never clicked on that thread cause it sounded fucking stupid so i never saw the car. why not just part that shit out. Zar what are your wheel sizes? looks good but i'm not feeling the chrome.

[!Zar!]

17x9 +22 Effective +2 2.5* camber
17x9.5 +18 No spacer. 1.5* camber
215/40 all around.
Rear is wack. Needs 18's.

[Wake]

WTF!!!! why would you do that? just sell it to someone that can use it?
fucking dumb in my opinion. Clean s13's are getting more and more rare.

Second this!! I love stagger on hatches but thiks its weird on coupes for some reason too.

[drftwerks]

cool thanks. i'm thinking my 17x10s definitely won't fit without a pull unless i run way more camber than i want to... I like the look of some side wall showing in the rear better than tucking.

yea i dunno, maybe its because the hatch looks heavier in the rear than the coupe. The coupe is a more balanced shape front to back.

[Wake]

My sentiments exactly. The thickness (ground to roof) of the back of hatches kinda makes you have to run 18s in rear or you have to lower the rear until it looks reverse raked lol

[gearhead55]

for real...

They did part out mostly everything important except the shell per the owners wishes. The shell as seen was obviously crushed.

Its what the owner wanted plain and simple.

[gearhead55]

dude they didn't part out the wheels. wtf. they look close to the sizes i wanted before i bought mine. what a waste of nice wheels.

[Persona]

Buy your own wheels, then you can smash them if you want, or part them out.

I honestly do like your car, bit too much poke for my personal taste, but not bad. i like the editing of the video, i was just arguing with my chick at the time so i had to turn it off lol

do you say shit just to be a jackass?

[WanganNastyMachine]

I remember that video of the car being crushed now, it is sad because that car was seriously clean, I would have gladly given it the love and care it once recieved. Not to mention it was his request.

But...not too many people who own S-Chassis would have kept it as clean as him and in the end, I would hate to see my deceased buddy's pride-and-joy being ragged and turned into another heap of S-Chassis that gets whored around in trades over Zilvia. not that many people on here have the amount of cash to put into/maintain a car like him.

Its just the way it is.

[gearhead55]

Thats fucking dumb. Whats worse, it getting slowly fucked up of the span of years or it getting fucked up over the span of five minutes? Same shit. The guy's just a selfish hater. No need for anyone else to explain WHY, i get it, its still stupid. Enough of that discussion though...

Name calling is so cool.

Because getting mad/upset at someone who is dead for what they wanted done with THEIR property, on a 10+ year old car none the less isnt acting like a jackass.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. Dont like what he did then move on.

[Wake]

I asked a simple question.

I also had no idea that it had anything to do with a fucking deceased persons wishes. maybe if you fucks explained shit instead of assuming everyone knows the back story you wouldnt come off as such a dick.

[s14fbs]

u guys dident know tim to understand
i dident know him personally but heard about him from friends and he was a cool dude

but he wanted to do did so people would bitch about it after hes gone and after months its still working

[!Zar!]

He must have led a shitty life to be worrying about what would happen to his shitty billion year old car after he dies.

A simple question that at the same time was demeaning.

You should take some of your own advice as well concerning asking questions/explaining/assuming.

Back on topic, sorry fellas for the BS!
