u can easily sand and buff single stage as long as its not metallic. it will shine almost as good as base/clear. ive done it several times.

Why don't you just part out the 240 back to stock and drive it?!

Then start driving the RX7 that you already have?...**** a 3rd gen...

exactly.

i don't like S13s. like i enjoy the car because it's fun/cool. it is a cool car without a doubt and rides good.

but

no matter what i do to the car, i know some other dude has the exact same color, same mods, same wheels, same conversion on the same car somewhere within a 40 mile radius of me.....

FD has been a dream of mine since i was like 12yrs old. there's been a few popping up for $3k-$7k that i've had my eye on and i want to make something happen.

the FC is never getting sold unless someone is willing to pay emotional tax and give me $25k for it. my FC doesn't need anything major. it's just sitting waiting for next season to roll around so i can hammer on it.

Not trying to thread hack at all but was just wondering how the Front mount does cooling wise? How does it compare to the v-mount cooling?

what's super gay is the fact that if i get an FD it's gotta be red..... hahaha

seeing that car after you had it resprayed made my jaw drop. i've always loved the red/black combo on sports cars.

that thing is the perfect street car.

i saw this car the other night looking around online, and it made me realize i need to stop wasting time on this Nissan crap, and get back to the roots.

put in work with Jorge "cloudx189" tonight. got the coils mounted, and started prepping my friends S13 for paint.

finally gave the FC some love after 30 days of rotting away.




thanks for the help dude!!!

can it be?! there's finally LEGIT coilovers on my FC for 2012!?!?! just A/I, fuel cell/bosch-44 (round 2) and a real diff away from killing it at topdrift, and XDC this coming season. looking forward to fun times about to be had. 20psi coming soon.
