okay, so yesterday was the last clear day (OMG the weather forecast was accurate for once!) for me to take pix of my new car. After struggling with it's finnicky A/F ratio for the past 2 weeks, it finally runs to my liking (mostly).
I'd intended to get daylight pix, but with only an hour of daylight left after getting off of work, the woman decided she wanted "attention" ;) So long story short, I had to take night pix if I wanted any at all, as it's gonna rain the next 2 weeks straight :( So here are my pix, some are a lil blurry. I tried my best to size them down for you modem ppl, only a couple of them got over 70k... all shots done by my friend and his 4 megapixel SLR! :)
Here's my nifters HKS intake, aka, the honey-peach!

Here's a pic of me, upsidedown, in the process of giving the signal wire to my A/F meter the bird as I wire my gauges in; my back hurt that night.

I love my wheels, no you can't know what they are ;)

I really like this shot, wish it wasn't quite so blurry :/ oh well.

Okay. So there we go, yay :)Props to Pat for my pix, and Car Tune Motorsports and Dave Longo (Drift Freaq) for my SR install.
Now I need a name for my car... I really wanted to call it shadow, for the obvious reasons of it being black, as well as a sleeper... but I'm having some issues with the fact that "Shadow" is the name of a silly Dodge already :/ Name suggestions? (if it makes a difference, s15 front end is next!)

Hmm... i guess that makes my car a girl huH? hehee
Wheels... nope, not Kosei... but now that I look, they look very similar, Hmmm :/
Enkei RS Evolution? But you've got the funky center cap. Don't tell me that they're ADR or Tenzo or some shiot. I'm pretty ****ed off that ADR copied the Ganador Pasion right now...:mad:

HEy, did you have that Greddy DD on before the SR went in? If so, how loud was it on the KA?
Looks good man. Seeing that intercooler tucked in there makes me want to turbo my S13 (well that and an extra 100hp at the wheels).

the DD went on after the SR, but now that it's broken in, it's pretty loud, on an N/A, it would be REALLY loud! I don't have the silencers in tho, but then if you have the silencers in, what's the point? It's a VERY nice, very good quality exhaust tho!

very nice car, Yoshi. since all these ppl are posting up their sweet S13's, it makes me wish i wasn't going to get a RX7. :p
i luv the artistic shot, the way u caught that light streak is niiiiiiiiiiice. i don't like that filter element, tho. that color looks like crap. why not get a red filter element off eBay to complement the red valve colver? sounds like rice, i kno, but it looks like u got a tig 'ole bittie in your engine bay. haha. :D
overall, the car looks great! and, thank gosh u don't have the pinstriping on ur car, unlike other ppl that still have them on their car. :D

Are you sure he was rocking a filter? I didn't see mention of one. Most likely it was those lame low pressure sodium street lamps that cast that high contrast, eerie, **** yellow glow.

Nice car Yohsi, love the stock look and the kouki tails.
Also give my compliments to the camera man, those are some nice shots, but I guess thats what you expect out of a 4MP, here I am with my 3MP, but no car to take pics of (unless you all like Camrys :D )
What width are your wheels?

The artistic shot was done on an olympus e-10:
iso 320
f9
4seconds
24bit color
it wa a fun shoot, I met an interesting person (cougar facility Operations..) and got yoshi to break numerous driving laws HAHA.
I like this style of activly searching for locations in plain situations.

Nice clean car! Are those LE seats in there? if so, arent they harsh on your back? thats why i got mine swapped...
What suspension mods have you done? How much did you pay for the kouki taillights?

Since you're going to get a strawberry face conversion, and the car is black, how about "Blackberry"

I think Cassandra would be perfect for yours.
uiuc240
03-21-2003, 08:49 AM
how about "Casanegra" (black house)
or maybe "Schwarz"
It's a Spaceballs reference, but also quite appropriate for a black car...schwarz (shvarts) is German for "black"

i'd def. go with that.. nice ring.. too bad ur putting the s15 face on. i have only liked the looks of one of them on s13's... u might wann think bout getting some fender flares. the only s1580 i've liked had flares.. so think bout it. so far so good though. love in the IC and exhaust.
btw you come a long way since you wreck half a year ago, or more?

yeah, so far I like "Wraith", "Cassandra", and "Blackberry" the best :) Tho blackberry will get me in trouble with friends and co-workers, as it's a computer geek thing too ;) But that's okay, I get paid to be a puter geek.
I haven't come as far as u'd think with regards to the wreck... this is a different car :) hahaha! The one that I curbed and fixed is now my (read as: the wife's) commuter car.
Oh, and I'm definitely doing rear fender flares... probably rolled actually, but we'll see. Gotta finish paying off CC debt from that silly SR first :)
Yoshi
03-22-2003, 04:47 PM
Weird Styles - I like Kreep! not bad!
pnoydro916 - did you see Pat's (Cresquin) response? It's a VERY nice camera, Pat also does photography for the WSU athletics department
SaintlyCharBoy - I got the car last November, it went into the shop at Xmas (2002), got it back early February, got it tuned right just the past couple days :)
kurissuS13 - I like the filter element, even if it is a peach color, the only other choice was lime green, and the peach matches better than having xmas colors :) It's also an HKS system, I could be wrong, but i'd much rather have the quality HKS filter, than some unknown cheapy made eBay knockoff, form follows function with me :D
My other 240 has the pinstriping :( ugh... can't take it off either, cuz the paint beneath looks new and doesn't look right at all, just looks like a black pinstripe on a black car instead of a red pinstripe on a black car. :(
96SEChick - okay, whatever I did right, you need to tell me so I can write it down! Any time I can make a girl drool, I've gotta be doing something right! hahahaha!
Steeles - interior pix are coming, I'm redoing the interior, it's pretty destroyed, I'm getting all new carpeting and mats, I already ganked the leather seats from my other 240, and will replace the rear ones too pretty soon... Corbeau fronts if I can swing it, and need to transfer my stereo from the other 240 also, sigh, so much more work :/
KiDyNomiTe - only 7.5'" wide on the rims :( I got them before I really had any build plans, but oh well, better than stock, I think I only want 8" in the rear anyhow, so not too much of a compromise :)
wingsnthangs - Both my 240s are LE's with leather interior, personally I really like the leather. It's not as squishy and makes me feel more solid thru corners, although I admit the stability is offset by the fact that hard leather is slippery, and my skinny asian ass tends to slide around a bit, sometime I'll be correcting with REAL belts (4pt harness). That prob should go away :) I got my Kouki's from Drift Freaq, off the top of my head I forget how much they were tho... $525 I thinK?
Foxcolt - so far my only suspension upgrades are whiteline poly T/C bushings w/new rods, KYB AGX dampers w/ Ground Control sleeves, and subframe spacers. Still running stock sways, but I can get sideways pretty good with what I have... course the VLSD helps too :) I think it's just about right, good enough for the track, acceptable for drift, and still comfy enough not to kill my kidneys :) So many people here are Tein this and JIC that, when the reality is that the Vast majority of ppl just want to say they have FLT-A2's or what have you (no I'm not pointing any fingers, jsut an observation while I'm off on this tangent). hehee.
C'mon guys, I haven't gotten to a name that I know is THE ONE yet! :) I'm sure when I hear the right one, I'll know it right away, some of you have had some great suggestions tho!

03-22-2003, 05:55 PM
hmm trying to think of a good name, I say find a game character, since your name is Yoshi, you can go with Wario or something.
If you were going to paint your other car blue, you could name the blue one Sonic and the black one Shadow, but I guess you don't want to call it Shadow cuz of the dodge.

following that theme, i'd like to suggest calling ur car "Koopa Troopa." in the game, Koopa Troopa's were Yoshi's bitch, and this car will be ur's. :D otherwise, "Stormshadow", "Blackhawk", or "Dark Knight". aggressive names that follow the dark idea.
btw, there is a place that sells the HKS filter element in other colors. and it really is from HKS. you can be fast AND trendy! :p

So does that mean they come with silencers? If so let me know how well they work. I think I'm just going to suck it up and get this exhaust. Loud is never a bad thing at the track and with dual tips the silencers on the street still have to offer gains over stock.
It looks so sexy.

James - Hmm... well, it's not riced at least ;)
kurissuS13 - Kick ass! thanks for the link! I"m gonna get a red filter and ditch the peach thing :)
Zenki_S14 - They're 17's. What do you mean "get away with"? Stock is 15" isn't it? or do you mean to get the look you're going for?
Tyler Durdan - wait, so "chloe" means purity? no way! ahhaha, isn't there a a pr0n star named Chloe Jones? hahhaha!
240 2NR - the DD comes with silencers, tho i've never tried mine, so I couldn't tell you how quiet it makes it... by the design of them tho, I'm certain you would take a substantial performance hit (relatively speaking to the initial gain the provide at least)
midnights14 - Hell No. ;)

Ok , now I am proud. Yes folks I got the car for him . I also got him his engine and install . If you want this kind of thing? I can arrange it.

i really hate to bring this up because it is old as dirt, but im suprised everyone believed these were enkeis. good job on the well kept secret though, but you cant fool me, i used to have those on a crx. they are eagle alloys series 160 17x7 with a +38 offset. http://www.eaglewheels.com they retail at less then $400 a set. i got mine for $200 with new tires, with one bent so i had to replace it. again, sorry to revive, but i couldnt let it go. but they do look good on your car, get some 15mm spacers and they will look mean.

You bumped a dead thread to correct someone with bogus info.
Those ARE Enkeis. The Eagle wheels are a knockoff of the Enkeis.
