seems ok
becaues base model RX7s are trash
haah

[KidSaru]

lower.as.soon.as.possible

[panama DRIFT]

good trade IMO

[HyperTek]

looks like it was a even trade.. stock for stock

your rx7 looks mint *even tho base models are unattractive, they dont really hold any market value or demand*

[super240sx7185]

Actually the 240sx has brand new kyb adjustable struts all around aswell as eibach lowering springs, new brakes, strut braces, brace on diff, new clutch, alternator, optima redtop battery, new clutch mc, slave cylinder, oil change in the trunk he just bought, new waterpump, thermostat. Lots of good stuff lol

[Chrischeezer]

rx7's are awesome... very easy to slide..
BUT... the motor is a PIA

Lower it more, take the springs off.

[super240sx7185]

Which lowering springs provide the best drop? I have coilovers on my s13 hatch and they are nice but very stiff, I'd like to keep this car comfortable and nice looking. I also dont care as much about super great handling in this car.

[azndoc]

You got a good trade.

I need a coupe.

Sell it to me for cheap.

yeah.

You can't have comfortable and nice looking. Get Stance coilovers.

[myzislow]

is the body straight? looks like it was repaired....

...is that a zenki lip on the fc?

[super240sx7185]

Yea it's straight never wrecked. And yes that is a zenki lip on the fc, i found it at my local yard for 8 buxs painted it up and it fit perfect.

[KA-T_240]

Good trade.

I see you from macon. You know peter?

[TheBigDirty]

That's a clean coupe. Definately a good trade. Gluck with it!

[super240sx7185]

Nah i don't know anyone around named peter. What does he drive?

[KA-T_240]

Both are in the garage. One is a lavender sil80 with a CA, other is a yellow 240, but hardcore project/track car getting caged. He goes by afsil80

[deesz]

it is a 240sx forum your asking that Q to,
the rx7 was very clean but it was a few years older...
tuff choice i almost lean towards the rx7 even though when they have motor problems its cheaper to replace the whole motor..

[super240sx7185]

It has eibach sportline lowering springs but it looks almost stock height. What did he screw up when he installed them? or do they not lower it as much as they say they will? Oh and im sure there eibach sportlines its printed on the spring coils

[super240sx7185]

Does his yellow s13 have black hood with pirate stuff or skull and crossbones something weird painted on it?

[HyperTek]

i think megan springs might be the lowest, they got the stiffest rating i believe

[KA-T_240]

Does his yellow s13 have black hood with pirate stuff or skull and crossbones something weird painted on it?

Yes. That is him.




About springs. I have espeliar(sp) springs on my to be DD, and the car is LOW for just having springs. It barely clears the ramps on my drive on hoist. I am talking less then a 1/8 inch. I don't have pics, hopefully stealling the car back from my buddys shop to swap out motors next week and will be takin a bunch of pics.

[SW20Racer]

ive mentioned this to others before, a good set of sway bars will go a long way in controlling body roll, that way your coils dont have to be super stiff.

you'll have better handling, you can give the car a clean stance, and you wont sacrifice too much comfort...

all in all i'd say you came out on top with that trade (even though i fucking LOVE the fc body) just address your suspension and you're set to pull hos

[Inland180]

most def.. right at even trade.... good trade though

[exitspeed]

Good trade. Statistics show 80% of Zilvians who've been on here for 2 years or more that own a hatch would rather have that coupe.

Mel I question your statistics lol . I do not see a wholesale flight from Fastback to Coupe. You would make it sound like currently 80% of Zilvia members are now running coupes. LOL thats just so not so.

[ROUGE180]

Looks like a good trade to me. Both cars look clean. Both don't look like they've been messed with. Any rust or issues of that sort? Good deal though. When I was looking for cars it was either an FC or a Piggy. I took the Piggy.

[ericcastro]

It looks like a great trade, although that was a nice looking FC.

Think you still came out ahead! :)

[Vision Garage]

I have a hatch but id rather drive my 14 :)

[super240sx7185]

lol i have a 90 hatch and now a 91 coupe both white so now im set. lol

well. I blew my shocks
and I have mr springs.
It looks nice.
and it drives nice too
Surprisingly, it doenst have that bouncy blown shock feel.
and it handles nice.
Its on my daily s13. Replaced some tien hr's with it.
interesting. Springs werent all that great before the shocks went out though.
just my 2 cents

[ByeByeSti]

goood trade IMO, fc was real clean, but also basemodel.. 240sx ftw!

[DOOK]

I'd take the S chassis coupe over the FC... I'd keep an FC over an S chassis hatchback .

[alindeman1989]

i like the s13 myself but they seem like a very even trade

[RUTH'LESSDET]

good trade...I love rx7's I think I would trade my kouki for a nice clean 3rd gen and swap a ls1 one motor in it.....That might sound strange but Ive always wanted a rx7 since b4 I could remember but never got one
