taniguchi... that motherfucker. also, fuck an em1. the 240, even broke ass as it is, is still a nicer car, IMO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
nice pick up on the 240.. build looks to be going well. that sunroof story made me LOL keep it up |
||||||||

Still some aggressive offset on those front wheels--phew!!! Didn't know you were planning such big changes for it. Cool that it will now become yours rather than always being known as _____'s old car. Good luck w/ the progress. |
||||||||

|||||||
Looks great wayne, I really like it. Glad to see you doing it RIGHT. |
||||||||

Thanks! |

Progress is awesome. Moar on the engine info! |

Well... I originally wanted to build a KA-T but now that I have 2 240's I am going to build this one for off road purposes, and the other will be my daily driver. Once i am completely satisfied with the s14 I will start building the ka24de-t for the s13. It needs a ton of love, suspension and body work itself. So I am putting in a redtop SR with 55k on it, never street driven, has only done 4 drift events. Previous history of the motor was it belonged to a shop car that was just on display. Motor runs stout, no CEL lights, no idle problems, pulls like a supercharged car on steriods although i've never driven an sr'ed 240 before. I cannot wait for the upgrades I have planned. gt3076r, full race manifold, and a haltech stand alone reading out to a stack cluster as I hate unnecessary gauges. But I would like to just focus on the bodywork alone as it's already tedious enough and expensive. |

lookin sweet. |

Looking good although I don't know what you were doing wrong, but you do NOT have to unbolt any suspension pieces to get the motor mounts off... I've never used solid mounts and an SR but don't see how that would change things. It just takes an end wrench IIRC. |

Very cool. I love the Volks. What are you going to use it for? Drift or Grip? Or maybe just to make A to B as fun as possible? |

So yeah fuck this carpet! |

POLISH the calipers and black lettering. Or get them anodized/powdercoated gold with black or anodized purple letters. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Looks like a lot of work but good job so far, I like the wheels cant wait to see the car when its done. |

Carbon Fiber Hood... not anymore. (nozzle holes filled and old sparco hood pin hole filled.) Oh you guys asked if I was painting the engine bay, and if you didn't ask then this is as painted as it's going to get hahaha. (PER MY REQUEST.) Brother with a razor blade scraping the paint runs. Everything on, brother wanted to push it out to take pictures (the car still looks really black) well it is really black but the color will show a tad more once color sanded and buffed. Yay for Paint Marring. There are a few other touch up spots than this. |
