S'been A While.

Basically havnt written here in a long time due to lack of funds... Was supposed to get some Godspeed coil overs a while ago, but me and my dad had some issues working it out, and now im back to looking around for a good deal. I threw on my front right rim just to see what it looked like, and what i needed exactly to make them work. So far i realize i really need to fill up my tires with air, need some tires for my back rims, and also need some wheel spacers. I took some pics, but dont have my camera on me, so, those will have to come at a later date. I have pretty much decided on the Origin Stylish for a body kit for my car, or something close to it, however that will be comming after the coil overs (hopefully, dad is leaning towards body kit first, but i dont think he realizes how bad a stock height car with a body kit is going to look.) Another delema ive run into, is yet again, what colour to paint my car, i basically knew the exact blue colour i was gonna paint it once it had body kit on and all that, but then a friend of mine bought a 180sx the exact colour i was gonna paint mine..soo... looks like i'll need a new colour. Thats all i can think of for now, pics will be up later

Drift/Photo Sesh











Had a super sick night with Ben, Matt, and Derek tonight. Drove out to Matts place, and decided on going down to a mall to do some drifting and try to get some good photos. Turned out being a super sick sesh, Derek (who i was driving with) did some super sick drifting, clutch kickin, e-brakin our way around poles and all that fun stuff. Matt and Ben also were doing some super solid drivin, All in all a good time. However a few WAAAAA, WAAAAAA, and ERRRCCHHH ERRRCCHH later, super gay security guard comes along to ruin our fun, writin down our plate numbers, so we darted out of there pretty quick and ended up at a small closed off road by a mcdonalds. And strangely enough this is where we started taking pics, (Matt has the camo S14, Ben with the black 180sx, and Derek with the orange and black 240sx)
PS. DEREK. clints friend nicolas metzger was filming in a cop car, for his new movie, and when he was in this cop car on the CB they called the cop in to go down to this place in abbotsford where there "were 3 cars driving in a parking lot making lots of noise drifting" They didnt know the make, or any plate numbers (so the security guard didnt get the plate numbers.) so nicolas filmed him and this cop go try to find these 3 cars drifting in a parking lot! hahah! so lucky.

New Rims!

Huge thank you to Derek for getting me my first set of rims! I love em, already started cleaning them up. However, they wont be going on the car anytime soon, I need to put some coil overs on the 240 first because the front rims are to big for the stock 240 suspension. So next on the purchase list: coil overs, then probably a body kit. Anyway, enough writing for now, heres some pics:

New paint

Did some random painting with John today on the car. Painted the door handles black, as well as the front right headlight. Also did a whole cleaning, the most thurough yet. Engine, Interior, Exterior, everything. sparkling clean now. Almost have all the plans for my car worked out by now, just need to know what rims i want to put on it, what size, and where to buy em.

Yay!

The red rocket runs! replaced the dead battery, now shes purrin like a kitten. Probably gonna take it out today. see if i can drive standard at all. Very nervous. On a side note, i was thinking last night the same thing as i always do, what the heck should i put on my car first? then i realized i have 2 years until i can drive it, so theres no need me putting in a turbo'd engine when its not gonna get any use. So i figured i would do some cosmetic work (body kit, spoiler, rims, paint, etc.) and practice driving (sideways) on the ka24 till it dies, and hopefully by then i will have my full license, and will have a job and such so i can put the new engine in.

..someone want to give me some ideas as to of what colour to paint my 240, cause at this point i have no freaking clue.

Got My Car!

So i got my 1990 hatchback 240sx yesterday from a guy in Delta!. Im incredibly pleased with the car, not to much rust (just some on the left skirt, and some under the spoiler), colours arent faded, doesnt need much engine work aside from a new throw out barring and a new battery (which has already been purchased, and waiting to be installed), nice interior. Basically the exact car that i wanted..except the fact that its running, i wasnt expecting that luxury. Some pics:







I have a lot of plans for the car (small and big), most of which wont happen for a long long time due to lack of money. But i mine as well throw up my list of things i want to buy anyway (List isnt in any particular order, just throwing them down as they come to me.)

1. 16 inch BBS LM rear rims
2. 16 inch Enkei RP03 front rims (not set on both of these sets of rims, might get something different, just thought these look nice. I also dont know if this will be the size i get, or if i'll even get 2 pairs of rims..i'll decide that once i find a couple good sets, and have the money)
3. K&N typhoon air intake
4. Megan Racing 3 inch catback exhaust
5. SR20DET
6. Megan Racing GT type aluminum spoiler
7. Megan Racing Coil overs
8. ED duraflex M-1 Sport body kit (front, side, rear)
9. Alpine MP3 CD car deck
10. 2 Alpine car subwoofers
11. Window Tint
12. 50mm Fender Flares (maybe, not set on this at all, just thought it might look good, we'll see once i have body kit and all that)
13. JDM racing seats (same with this, if i find something like it, i'll probably get it)
14. I would like to have a welded differential, but dont know if its necessary.

Thats all i can really think of for now but im sure there will be lots more as the weeks go on. But since i cant think of anything more to write, i better go finish my baby sitting gig.
