Project: 240SX...Commence!

[Road Pirate]

Wow lol. Apparently you hate red on anything, well I love red on a LOT of things, so we're two different people when it comes to that. I will most likely go with white, but red is a good candidate and I've always loved 96-00 red coupes. Afterall, it is my car and my final decision If you would like to stop viewing my build threads because of a color, that's all up to you my friend!


Anywho, enough Civic talk. Back to my 180. I got an Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator, fuel lines and a top feed fuel rail for it coming in on Monday. Then I can actually get tuned, woo! My front RPF1's will be here in a week (f***ing finally..) and I'm going to be ordering a 180SX kouki front lip here soon. I'll update as usual as soon as stuff comes in!
I got a notice from our realty place basically saying my neighbors have complained about me working on my car, which is bulls*** because I never use power tools so...wtf are they complaining about? So, I decided to get everything cleaned up and organized, also pulled the car out. Feels very strong, doesn't leak a drop either. Figured I'd snap a pic

Got the car running well, also got my fronts in from Vivid FINALLY after two months..front needs to go a little lower, but I'm still in the middle of fitting it.

Exhaust then tune next!

 

[rey_boricua]

tune will be very important especially with a ka. what are you using for tuning?

 

[Road Pirate]

Yeah, any tune is very important after a turbo build

I'll be using Nistune, should be done next week.

[ReedMann]

Nice 240 man. I've always wanted to get one. Love the rims too.

 

[Road Pirate]

Damn Angel, s**t sounds great! Are you building the KA in a 240?
Thanks for all the comments though guys! And I have no idea, I suppose in our lease it says no working on vehicles...

I am running a hood tilt, mainly because my hood needs to be hacked on the inside because my turbo is hitting it. I'll get the spacers off soon, just have to do it temporarily

Entered a car show the other day, didn't win anything but got a lot of comments on the car and met a few cool people. Here's a few pics I found online after the event..

That red EM1 was awesome. Basically all stock, but had every dealer option (including OEM rear lip) and it was VERY clean. Oh, and boosted

 

[Road Pirate]

Bought some 99-00 tail lights and 99-00 optional spoiler for my civic the other day, and also purchased some rare brand new 180sx OEM window visors. I'll throw pics up when I get stuff in!

 

[K-N-2-EK]

I have the EX hubcaps if you give me the damn OEM Stanley 50/50 tails
