and then after a lil bit of work here and there it really started to come together...and ready for paint... i found a guy who would primer, base, and clear(3) for 400 if i did the prep work...DEAL!!!

turned out pretty sick

and then came the wheels... i came across a great deal for some xxr 501's 16x8 +15's... got my fenders rolled and slight pull in the front and put em on... still need to lower it a lil bit...

thanks man i appreciate it... knocks offs.... maybe the xxr's... but the other supposed knock off's u think i have... i buy what matters... and sometimes... its not the name...

[ILoveJDM]

this is not really a build thread...at all.
congrats on getting your 2nd thread locked.

[dreamin240sx]

hey man your car looks amazing good job and keep up the good work.. i enjoy havinh people like you on this forum.. also props for having a redtop sr20 no ka here..

[180sExy]

looking great. can't wait to see more pics.

[TrustS13]

whats up with that tiny ass mufler? what is it?

[trentjsd]

Yooo how you liking the rims they look familiar haha

[sidewaysil80]

i don't mean to be a dick...but why are you fenders rolled for 4x4 status? and that interior is ummmmmmm yeah. you should have stuck with one color and not mixed black and brown. i would lower and redo the interior. but the paint looks good.

[badbob2121]

the tires u gave me were F*CKED!!! but otherwise they r sweet

well i havent lowered it because my sr wiring harness is running through my front fenders and i need to tuck it up a lil higher so i can lower it without eating through it, but wouldnt rolling them be a good thing to do to just about any car with coils... just saying, dont mean to be a dick:stupid: and the interior will be all black, soon as i feel like buying a black dash/center console and putting cf door panels and ripping everything out to put new sound deading in.... but i understand... your from va...

[sidewaysil80]

dash/center console and putting cf door panels and ripping everything out to put new sound deading in.... but i understand... your from va...

ummm yeah, whatever that means. btw, if you don't wan't to go through the hassle of relocating the harness you coul always weld/bolt in a plate to cover it in the wheel wheel.

[badbob2121]

not a bad idea, ill look into it...

[P_856]

What did you use to dye the carpet it looks good

[wafflez66]

but i understand... your from va...

that's awesome.


Car looks descent for what you have in it.

[badbob2121]

What did you use to dye the carpet it looks good

i used a more expensive kind that is a srpay but its a liquid that you still have to rub in... it works alot better than that cheap crap from autozone... but it is still the same 18 year old carpet... but check out the before and after pics....

got a alignment from True Line inc. down in el cajon,ca... a great place that acutally knows thier sh*t.... got -2 in the rear and -1 in the front.... 64.00 out the door.. not bad :hsdance:

[Flatline1121]

thats a good price for an alignment. especially with the camber set. everywhere around me would charge $160 for something like that. more if it took the tech longer than expected.


and those are the exact wheels i had on my accord, just in hyper silver. looks good, but they always look better lower.

[badbob2121]

ya its a legit place, anyone in socal that wants thier info pm me... thier worth the drive....

[Blade81]

holy shit dude my car came out looking amazing since you bought it. it looks completely different then when i sold it to you back in january. and btw my buddy works at true line in el cajon i bet he had no idea that was my old car. damn dude you did a nice job with it. im glad to see that it went to some good hands. keep it up

[TKK-ORANGEtang]

nice build came out hella clean

[badbob2121]

well i hit a local junkyard and found a prime 92 hatch...

picked up
2 q45 ignitors
2 great condition door panels
240sx center tail piece (tired on my JDM tYte piece)
new center console lid

http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy317/badbob2121/DSC00568.jpg

thought it might look better to paint the new center piece because ive never been a big fan of the one piece looks on the hatch with the black paint... soo

why would u want to shit on this? you make no sense.... go ahead shit on it a lil im interested

[WanganRunner]

Needs more stretch and a lot more low.

Other than that, I dig it. That's some nice paint for $400.

[D.Adams]

nice car man looks really good

i want the numer of the guy who painted your car shit he did a good job

[badbob2121]

ya im definatly re-thinking my tires sizes ..... and lower yes.... but streets are so rough

[240sxrb25]

why did you blur all the license plates. ppl see them everyday

[Deviousjet]

Looks good man. Don't mind the forum junkie elitists that have to shoot down every car they see because a life savings wasn't invested into it. Your car looks good. I'm hoping to get some XXR's here sometime soon also.
