Specter: Project S13

okay i figured it was about time i made one of these threads

first off i'd like to thank kevin [dc2_lsvtec] for taking most of these pics.

my 240sx started off as a beaten bone stock 240 that was free of rust thanks to a prior life in GA :woot:

see that is a big deal here in the rust belt, 240's have a hard time keeping their frames from rusting out here in IL thanks to IDOT's over use of salt in the winter

anyways here is what she looked like when i got her



little dirty and a little missing parts/broken parts and looking like a 4X4

so after having her for less then three months [i think] this is what i've done with her

OBX 4-2-1 header
good 'ol nameless catback
TEIN s-tech lowering springs
Konig Rewinds [woot 0 offset]
Falken ZE512's

and here she is done





soon to come

TEIN tension rods and new LCA's with poly bushing lower balljoints

 

I like it! Has some good thought! I especially like the Konigs you got on there, my car has the Konig Rizen (Risen) series...they are nice!

nice, but why didnt you just put this in your S13 build thread?

and you forgot to mention that it doesnt idle.

 

oh crap... yeah i think i'll merge it...

 

heh that worked out pretty good

 

Good thread and timeline of your ride. Let's see more when you have updates.
