ME?! UGH FUCK! Alingment problem from hell ! Apparently new tires because the ones I have are fucked, Ive been needing and wanting a swap for the longest, and yea thats about it. Other than the swap I just want a normal car with no alingment problems and drives dope.

Alingment = $50-100
Tires = $400-600
Swap = $2000-$2500

So until those shits get done, I have no 240......

Who's in this wonderful boat with me!?

What the hell kinda tires are you buying that cost you at least $400???

Sounds like overkill to me, what kinda racing are you doing?

Is that 2000-2500 for a SR swap? If you just want a reliable car that runs, just swap in a strong KA... unless of course it costs the same?

And you can get some cheap Federal 595 tires for like half that price..

Right now I'm saving for all around suspension work. I'm looking at about $2,600 - $3,000.

All I need is time...I've got all my suspension parts chillin' at home, but no time to put everything on. Then, with some new wheels and a paint job, my car should at least be presentable. Then of course comes the swap, but that's unfortunately way away for me :hammer:

u getting jacked money

if u were in socal i could hook it up but alas, norcal fail

just go on discount tire direct or something, they are cheap free shipping

16's suck for tires tho, they usually cost just as much as 17s and u have to run crappy side wall

go 5 lug and get some 17s

All I need is Avena Lee posing on my car.

Then I just need her, minus my car.

Avena Lee gots skillz.

But I could think of many many girls I'd choose before her.

I'm taking a break from my car because the return is less than the cost for me. I'm pretty much done with all the small inexpensive shit.

Interior
Suspension.

Everything from there is money!

Power
Looks

I'm just gonna let it sit, and just drive it like that.

I need tires and alignment.

I'm borrowing wheels and tires right now. :/

mo' power = mo' problems

ka for 10 yrs, no problems
sr for 2 months = blowed up,
and now it's running on 3 cylinders, needs a rebuild

mr_240sx
10-11-2006, 02:25 PM
thats weird cause ive had my sr for 4 years now and never had any issues with it! if you ge tit dyno tuned by professionals and do regular maintenance there is no reason for it to blow up. cause remember, the sr20 is a factory motor!

10-11-2006, 02:39 PM
do most with SR just swap it in w/o rebuild??

Wei240
10-11-2006, 02:59 PM
yes, most ppl i know swap in w/o rebuild, cuz we cheap yo,

and the thing is, i take care of my car, hence ka = no prob,
old sr's = lord knows how long it's been beaten up, maintained and sitting in the junkyard

New diff $900
Seats $800
Steering wheel $300
Engine build, setup, tune $4,000

Rough estamate of costs. New car before the engine work is finished $15-20,000, unless I find a good deal on another S14 in that case the new car would be much less.
