RB20 Powered 1991 240SX Hatch build thread

[TwoForDee]

Whats up ONE, i picked this car up about 5 months ago completely bone stock with the KA in it and all, its a 91 hatch, had about 170,000 on it. i ripped the ka out about 4 months ago and sold it off, got a pair of ebay lowering springs (will do until coilovers) and a CXRacing exhaust, rear strut bar and Megan Racing bucket seats. I was working hard to get the money for a sr20 so i picked up a cxracing intercooler and radiator and samco radiator hoses but ended up changing my mind and going with an RB20 which i picked up about a month ago, heres some pics of the process. Car is gonna be painted Brickyard Red

Knockoff vertex body kit came in about a week ago

Please please please do NOT put that MASSIVE goofy aero on your car if your planning on putting either sets of those wheels on it. If you must have aero get some OEM or something a little more subtle. Huge bumpers and skirts look whack with no widebody or wheels to help them out. The rest of it looks on par though! :bigok:

[singlecamslam]

Hopefully you're going to paint it a real color, not leave it primered like a lot of retards do...

1. Thats the 180sx body kit...

2.I said right in the text I was painting it Brickyard Red

[swpdwgn]

180sx bodykit? it's some cheap ass shit from raceonusa or some shitty company like that.

Get some REAL aero. There is a full oem type-x kit in the f/s section right now for 1200.

[ZX88]

damn what a tuff guy^ e-thugger to the max.

Yeah zilvia doesnt like incomplete build threads to this will get locked. aero is fine but if you rock that you better put some real wheels on it or it will look retarded.

[TwoForDee]

Yeah buddy cause im gonna waste 1200 dollars on a body kit...like who gives a shit if its "real" or not...it looks good and thats all I care about, Im getting a set of nice wheels, sorry i cant afford it at 16 years old dickhead.

[TwoForDee]

Oh and calling this a shitty build thread? go take your half primer frankenstein hatch and your ka s14 and piss off

[CTblack240]

This build thread is sick. idk what you snip are talking about when ur driving pieces of crap. This is my little brothers build and hes 16 years old and doesn't even have his license yet and he has a nasty 240. So back the fuck up and dont be jealous of a Nasty BUILD*(means not finished yet*) thread, if u retards didnt realize that in the first place.

[stinky_180]

No where close to done...

these two 'projects' do not deserve its own thread.

^Nice attitude there buddy....

[Csomme]

Nice slur there...

Wait, he's 16 yet his profile says 20? Your profile says 20 too...


We expect more of a build thread then just a posting of a bunch of parts. Try again when you have significant progress if not done.
