Damn Angel, s*** sounds great! Are you building the KA in a 240?
nope i have a turbo 1st gen altima it was my first car and i boosted it back in 2001. now i want to complete it and see how much i can throw down. they are slightly lighter than srt-4s and have potential but not a lot of aftermarket support. lets see what i can get out of it

Just looking to get a set of the EX 14" ones, no others. And I got my old sets for around 40-50$ for all four, I'm not paying 20$ per hub cap on Ebay haha.

Well, havent really touched the 240, waiting for tune stuff to come in. But I managed to pickup some 99-00 tail lights, 99-00 EX rear spoiler, and a SiR front lip for the daily. It should be going in to paint by the end of the week (will be painted white, I finally decided lol). I also picked up a complete 2-bike Yakima roof rack with Raptor hinges for 100$. I use to do a lot of biking back in the day, and I'm lazy as f**k lately, so I figured why not get a rack and get my bike back on there and go ride! I'll make a build thread of the civic a bit later if any of you are interested in that.

Gah, it's just so amazing. Should be a model for all 240 owners...... The 240's down, it's hard to find one that's all the same color anymore. It's like all the amateur kids got a hold of nearly all of them and destroyed them. Anyway, I know I bable on too much. But nice 240 man. It's perfect.

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it! I'm just trying to show that just because you own a 240, doesn't mean you have to slap cheapo body kits, fake wheels and slide around into walls. They have a lot of potential if you just do it right!

Always liked the 240's, almost had a red one when I was in highschool, perfect shell for a project, paint was glossy and body was straight. Too bad the yard crushed it before I could get it out

Thanks guys. 240's are great cars for sure!

Well I finally upgraded the lug nuts to my dream set. I've always wanted these, and I found an amazing deal on a new set, so I had to jump on them =)



Sorry about the shitty phone pics! I'll get proper pics up later with them actually on the RPF1's ;)


And a small update on teh daily, it has an SiR lip and clear fogs now :gr_grin:


Neither are OEM, but this is my daily, so who cares! lol
