December 09 Super Street Feature: S13 JUICY WHIP

[[email protected]]

Our good friend Jared has been working on this masterpiece for many many years now. This is probably the cleanest s13 I have ever laid my eyes on lol.

I know this does not fit in with the crazy glitter vinyl wrapped zip tied aero and the car does not get drifted or will never see a race track. But the goal of this car was just to have a very highly detailed restored 240sx and I think he accomplished that:2f2f:

Currently the car is sitting some Fortune 500's and he has has our super sweet knob:)

Figured it was cool since he gave us some shot outs in the article. He also just got featured on enkie's blog:eek3d: Enkei Wheels Official Blog: Custom Wheels, Tuner Wheels, Racing Wheels, Performance Wheels, Import Tuner Scene (http://blog.enkei.com/)

NOVEMBER issue.

Same issue with the All Star Bash article.

[Ca_Silvia]

Love it! Ive been following his build via CA-based forum. Very nice, im not much for trailer queens though...

[S14_Kouki]

Car looks good excellent work

[Om1kron]

Love it! Ive been following his build via CA-based forum. Very nice, im not much for trailer queens though...

Not much he can do about it, dude has gone through like 4 midlife crisis' where he tried to put the car up for sale so he'd stop spending money on it. And the shitty decision early on to mold the kit to the body of the car.

I wouldn't track that shit either mainly cause he wouldn't have the money to repair that body work.

NOVEMBER issue.

Same issue with the All Star Bash article.


ooops yeah November

[Trevor87]

i would like to see the dyno sheet of a ca18 with stock turbo make 256wtq and 220whp

[Bushido]

i guess i'll be the asshole...

-wangan wing?
-molded bumper and skirts.
-wack gauges/interior.
-17/18 stagger on a show car?
-1.8L

[dt-p88]

NICE looks good

[DJDANGER24]

i guess i'll be the asshole...

-wangan wing?
-molded bumper and skirts.
-wack gauges/interior.
-17/18 stagger on a show car?
-1.8Lwhat'd you expect a 19/20 stagger on a show car ?
wangan wing, not your typical kouki wing.
anyone with autometer gauges is wack now ?
CA18, not your typical SR20

But that is your opinion, and those are mine. the interior seats, i guess he's going with restomod? Nice looking car though... the color is awesome

[[email protected]]

looks good but molded kit is a big no no.
interior is better than mine but still ugly. steering wheel is horrid, and just look at the dimmer switch. only good thing is that badass CA18 and the wheels

:(

[mehsilvia]

Nice looking car though... the color is awesome
Definately an awesome color.

But what the hell happened here?

Green, pink and blue accents?

[Xbroke_kidX]

another prime example that money does not buy style.

[HyperTek]

nice car i like it

yeah im not a fan of the molded kit
Another example that the 240 community cant appreciate a nice car *this thread*.. shit is clean besides the molded skirts, would you rather some POS 3 color car be featured? or some fake ebay parts car be featured so people will think its ok to support the fake stuff lol

Interior could have been alot better though.

sorry but since this picture ive never cared for this car

did someone recently whisper in his ear "psst.. youre doing it wrong" ?

[S14_Kouki]

or some fake ebay parts car be featured so people will think its ok to support the fake stuff lol


My favorite part about this thread THE TURTH. Its said because 90% of 240's only rock the cheap shit.

awww geez mannnnnn

imma guess that he just ordered the parts and dropped it off at a bodyshop and typical body shop goes "Ill hook it up reallll nice". Thats why you gotta mount your own kits people or by shops who are familiar with it.

[HyperTek]

wait, i think either the guy got it taken care of, or superstreet is photoshopping the cars

That's a pretty old pic.

The rear fenders have been somewhat cut out now, he has lowered the rear quite a bit.

He was misguided by his body guy. He basically talked him into keeping the stock 1/4 in place because he was afraid it would take away from the structural integrity of the car. Beginner mistake. He's owned that car for yeeears now. I think it's not completely my style but it's incredibly clean and well built.

[Persona]

LOL at hate comments in this thread. If everyone rocked the same style and shit this place would be BORING. At least its not some POS 240 out there representing our community to ricers in training.

[ixfxi]

I sent Jared a msg on NICO (because I never go there) and because I stumbled into his car via some google image searching. I think his car is pretty well done, though of course there are things I would have done differently.

Is it the BEST? Is it the CLEANEST? Would you all like to suck his COCK?

The answer is: WHO CARES. Its good.

Some people dont like the color, personally.. Im not really excited by it, but I dont dislike it either. The engine bay valve cover, whoop dee doo.. nothing a quick trip to the powdercoater wont fix.

I mean, you guys nit pick about some funny things, like it takes more than 10 minutes for anyone to remove that damn steering wheel (which I dont like).

Out of all the cars I've ever seen, I give this one a B+ in execution and delivery.


The biggest gripe if anything, is the usage of fiberglass.. but hey, even Jared said the same thing. For a guy whos not in the spoiled land of J-spec parts (aka socal), I give the guy credit. Lots of money, lots of time.. and overall just a good job.

I've seen a lot of clean cars in my time, from Russ's S14 to the Silbeer car... and even then people could still nit pick.


Of course, I still think my car is the best.. but thats like sucking my own cack. :-)


Nice job Jared.

[gsxr141]

that car is the shit. looks just about perfect to me.
of course this thread will be full of hate....... it is zilvia after all.

[kensreliableb18b]

hm...i just don't get it. but congrats on the feature.

[garagelu]

admit it guys, this car is cleaner than 80-90 percent of the cars on zilvia. If the owner is happy with it, then let it be. Did he ask for your opinions.

[miller_time]

never been a big fan of orange to start with, but that engine bay is GROSS. Its cool that it has a CA18 though.

[Xbroke_kidX]

No one said shit about rather seeing a 3 tone s chassis or one full of ebay shit, all that was said is that its not someones style or we dont like it o well, get over it. If you thought you were going to post a car on here knowing its not the style of most of the people on this board and still expect a good responce your crazy. Stop trying to protect everyones fuckin car

[bradass]

sweet car! love the fresh CA...rarely see that!!

[jorge1190]

Ive seen this car in person a couple times and it is such a nice piece. The guy did a really good job on it and he likes it so who cares about what people say

[Bushido]

the thing is, anyone with a handful of cash can build a car like this.

it brings nothing new to the table.

yeah, it's clean.. but it's real middle of the road from a style and engineering perspective.

[sidewaysil80]

man, jared has put soooo much time into that car and he did it the way HE liked. i helped out with alot of shit on this car and i have never met anyone who truly cares about their work as much as him. i am sooo happy he finally got featured and cant wait to the see the remake. (he's redoing it as we speak, yes a diff color as well)

[Persona]

Show me a car that someone cannot build with handfuls of cash. lol

[s0fa king]

nice job! lots of work went into that car.

yeah well.............

in order to talk, and this is not just to you but to everyone whos nit-picking:


build a car, post it online, then lets see how much value your opinion has


until then, a lot of the posts in this thread are just talk.


this is what separates the boys from the men. if he had just spent cash and ordered parts, it wouldnt look like that. you can tell when someone has put TLC into their build, and this is coming from me - and im an idiot.

[usdm180sx]

NOVEMBER issue.

Same issue with the All Star Bash article.

So that's why you were asking about it :duh:

[jhageman]

i know my car doesnt appeal to many people, but i built it for myself. id like to get a few things straight in my defense.
i was misguided in the beginning on bodywork...thanks Chris :) i did take care of fenders so thanks for bringing up that old ass pic lol.
super street did not photochop any of the pics...my car has been that height since 2 yrs ago.
its taken me 3 yrs to build this car so its not like i have alot of money to throw around...whoever said that.
the car has never seen a trailer...i drive it everywhere... it is garage kept.
ive done 2 shows in the last 2 years so i dont even consider it a show car anymore.
ive had 4 midlife crisis yes, because i was ready to join the army and i wanted this gone before i joined.:confused:
the yashio factory pink did not flow very well i know this... that is why its sold.

i can say the Fortune Auto coilovers allowed me to dump the car down and ride smoother than the old jics i had on it :)

[Team DET]

^^^
shit's clean

[jorge1190]

I wouldn't worry about what people say, specially on here. I saw your car at an intersection while i was leaving kings dominion one day and must say your car looks sick rolling.

[HyperTek]

its clean. The 240 scene is soo lost now, people see a nice clean 240 and automatically assume its a show car , because your not suppose to own a nice daily driver lol

Wait its not supposed to be beat up and look like shit?:bowrofl:

[S-Nation S13]

lol i remember this guy i had him on my friends list on my myspace page he helped me wire my alti fans lol thanks jared clean as ever keep it up man

[jhageman]

ive been meaning to join silvia for awhile now, because its full of useful info and its been recommended by a few members on here :)

i have cut off fiberglass front fenders to replace with metal fenders and i have everything for my 180sx front end except for lip. i sold the spoiler and replacing it with 180sx spoiler. not much i can do about rear fiberglass setup, but its solid. you live and learn thats part of life...

thanks for the welcome and warm greetings :)

welcome to the club my man.... keep the shiney side up

[atutt]

Normally I hate orange. Along with green. Normally I hate giant duck bill looking things.

But this car is really nice. I'm really digging everything on this car. The colour scheme. the duckbill looking wing.

Very nice. Keep it up!

[irax]

I love this car because it is 100% not what 'Zilvia' would do. I love the color, I love the wangan wing, I love the steering wheel. I love the stance, the wheel fitment, i love the yoshi knob and cooling panel in pink. This car looks like a very comfortable daily driver.

[ESmorz]

Three things.

1. I request people stop saying the "240 scene this" "the 240 scene that" if you're not even a part of it anymore. I'm sick and tired of going into every thread about a build car or a part and seeing this whiny bullshit. People build shit and have preferences, everything goes in cycles and one day the masses will come back around..

2. Overall the car is executed well, maybe not the best planning... but at least it looks presentable and comfortable in it's own skin.

3. The CA is fucking rad.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. :(

[jhageman]

i already stated that pics was from 2.5 yrs ago...thanks
i had to finish the work myself since shop didnt understand what i wanted, but they put on a hell of a paint job.

[ILoveJDM]

duhrrr

did you even read what i posted. that pic was right after his car was painted iirc

Dont sweat it. You love ur ride and thats whats important.

Congrats on the Mag Feature. Definately something to be proud of.

And Welcome to Zilvia!

obviously not:ugh: lol i do love my car and i know what my car looks like. im still stoked about the day SS contacted me back in may and wanted to do a feature. im even happier its at newstands everywhere!:2f2f:

[ixfxi]

god.
just.....
oh my GOD.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. :(

thats not throw up, thats jizz. its what happens when you see a car nicer than yours. ;-) hehe

[tricky_ab]

I was just reading this magazine earlier...Super clean build for sure...

[Xbroke_kidX]

Three things.

3. The CA is fucking rad.

agreed

msg length

[Touge Noob S13]

Love the engine, love the exterior, don't like the interior. Could have been a little more "crazy" to compliment the bright engine and bright exterior.

[zenki.life]

the only thing i will nitpick is the color choices. but other than that i give props. color is easy to change.

[Om1kron]

oh esmorz dont let the VRT attitude consume you man :coold:

coming from the dipshit who posted earlier in this thread "looks like someone just dropped this off at the body shop and threw some guap at the body man and said run with it."

to properly quote.

imma guess that he just ordered the parts and dropped it off at a bodyshop and typical body shop goes "Ill hook it up reallll nice". Thats why you gotta mount your own kits people or by shops who are familiar with it.

like you build your own cars....

Don't let the Zilvia attitude consume you. :hyper:

[OBEEWON]

If this car wasn't in a mag people wouldn't be crying.

Best parts to me are the CA, Wangan wing, and the color. < $.02

[Dousan_PG]

imo

car looks lke shit, so many things could e done better and such. just a lot wrong with it

but if the dude is happythen go for it. thats all thatmatters not some jackasses comments, like me

[nathanong87]

not my cup of tea, but as long as the person who holds the keys to the car is happy with it. that's all that matters. i'm sure some people would hate my car too, but does that make me drive it any less? nope.

[ranger240]

Another example that the 240 community cant appreciate a nice car *this thread*.. shit is clean besides the molded skirts, would you rather some POS 3 color car be featured? or some fake ebay parts car be featured so people will think its ok to support the fake stuff lol

that rattle canned s13.4 kouki vert got more praise than this..

like you build your own cars....
i was questioning that pic, and the owner stated the reasoning for it. i never once negged it.

oh hush :rl:

[deadghost]

I am just happy that someone managed to properly put that CA together, honestly this is probably the first time I have seen some one put that engine together and not half ass it due to budget reasons, its just cool to see that engine. Other then that .....its meh

[landins13]

i like that all the people who were hating have changed to saying things like not my style but to each their own, after they were chewed out.

my car is far from being as clean as this and my car will never be in superstreet, i like the early 90's throwback in the engine bay with all the color and whatnot. i like the wheels its practical, but then again im not one of the guys that wants a 10" wide rear wheel with a 7" wide tire. i like traction, i like driving, i like drifting.

the car is ok, it gave me something to look at while i poo rather than some +35 offsetted civic thats "jdm as fuck". so thank you for putting something in superstreet that makes it worth my read during my daily deed

[Ceepo]

I like it, not my color but it could grow on me, ha ha ha, keep up the good work man clean car :)

[CamryOnBronze]

I think the car is sick man, like I said on Nico. It's awesome to see a detailed and well put together build that comes out looking flawless in the end. I can't say all of the choices made would be mine, but that doesn't mean I can't look at it and see it for what it is- a very detailed and well executed build. I do really like the wheels though, I think they are sick! The redone version should be really sweet as well, excited to see some progress!

[s13 @ fullboost]

looks fantastic

[el ocho]

Looks fuckin clean. The interior is nothing special and not a huge fan of the Rims but overall looks really good.

[S14_Kouki]

I think its really awesome he did a CA and not another SR. All the little fanboys that look at this car in the mag are prob like wth is a CA and what car does it come in lmao.

[ixfxi]

Looks fuckin clean. The interior is nothing special and not a huge fan of the Rims but overall looks really good.

haha i loooooooove the rpf1s.......


17lbs for a 17x10 +18... cant go wrong. i was thinking of picking up a set in case i didnt feel like attracting all the teenage asian kids in the neighborhood with my te37s

[jhageman]

;)i appreciate all the positive & negative feedback...im not hear to create enemies, but to learn some more knowledge. it was MY MONEY that paid for this and nobody else...im glad it is diff than most 240's out there...whats the fun in being like everyone else.

yeah the interior is a little weak, but i figured id like the interior to be low key and really clean oem. the only thing i plan on doing this winter is throwing some clean 180sx front & rear seats & maybe a new steering wheel. i ripped out all the heating & a/c stuff since i dont a. have a/c
b. i dont drive my car in the winter. im relocating the fuse boxes and wire tucking the cluster fuck of harness on passenger side.

heres some better pics of interior:

its a good grocery getter and picking the kids up from school...cant have them bashing their faces on a cage...lol

since the shoot ive sold:

front bumper
spoiler
wheels
carpet
fr & rear seats

i finished cutting the fiberglass fenders away from sideskirts...going to order new metal fenders from nissan next week. the metal fenders should slip behind the skirt and bolt in. i plan on running some wheels with the right offset so i dont have to use spacers anymore. heres how she is sitting for the winter in my shop...flame away:trogdor:

[Devil Man]

i think the car looks good.. not a huge fan of the orange, but it works well on your car. i really like what you did with the rear carpet thingy that covers the spare. also what did you use to do cf on the radio bezel and what not. i think it looks good over all though!

[udon!]

thats not throw up, thats jizz. its what happens when you see a car nicer than yours. ;-) hehe

touche....

[Snoopy]

Not much he can do about it, dude has gone through like 4 midlife crisis' where he tried to put the car up for sale so he'd stop spending money on it. And the shitty decision early on to mold the kit to the body of the car.

I wouldn't track that shit either mainly cause he wouldn't have the money to repair that body work.

Comment #1
He has never stopped spending money on this car, I have know him for 2-3 years+.
Comment #2
To my knowledge, of personally knowing him and keeping in contact (ACTUALLY CONTACT, NO ONLINE CONTACT), he has never seriously gone through a midlife crisis.
Comment #3
His early decisions are exactly that, decisions, his decisions.
Comment #4
If everyone rocked the same wheels, same body kit, same JDM shit, whose car would look better? whos car would be the best? who would be able to tell their car apart?

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one..

I personal know the owner of this car, and is a awesome guy. I like his car and have shoot it many times personally. I dont absolutely love the car by any means, everyone has their own veiws of their "perfect car". To the amount of time/money/resources that are in this car is simply amazing. The amount of NEW OEM/JDM parts is outrageous.

To everyone on here that does not know, this car was/is being built in a very small simple rather poor town in central virginia.

GAIN SOME RESPECT

-Chris

[jhageman]

im the first one to admit if i had to do it all over again i wouldnt have molded shit. only the people that have followed my build from the beginning know how much new oem parts...every last bolt in the engine bay has been changed out for s/s or chrome (thanks to the hardware store i manage) :) i have not let a shop touch my car in over 2 years...everything has been fixed or done by me and help from good friends...like Chris^
i do live out in the middle of fuckin nowhere...mostly rednecks & thugs...absolutely no jdm cars or nissans in the whole damn county... lol i work out of a warehouse by some creepy ass woods with 3 mountain lions on the damn loose...i cant even take a piss outside anymore...thinking im going to get pounced on.

its amazing om1kron you know so much about me...w/e man cool story...i
I wouldn't track that shit either mainly cause he wouldn't have the money to repair that body work...
nice...glad you know my finances too:rolleyes:

[ayuaddict]

oh what?

the wing was the best part!

haha, i love those wings.
