[Hondamatic]

What size/offset wheels did you haveup front/rear? . I have 17x8.5 +25 dt-o5r's for the front which I think ima get 10mm spacers for. I'll be happy to "flam" you for it rofl... Sadly I'm getting a black zenki and my car is going to look exactly like yours minus kouki front and shaved 3rd brake light... damn i'm jockin.... can't wait till i get the car pink slip should be coming in anyday now so I can finish up the deal with the guy im getting it from

i have same as you.. 17x8.5 +25. i added 20mm spacer so its effectively +5 offset. it's perfect. now i gotta worry about the rear. it needs +15mm more.

[DRFT]

[driftyour40]

[Matt_240]

ur just salty . :D

[240Driver39]

wow, nice turn around for the car! lookin good

[Johny5]

where'd you get the c-west mini spoiler and for how much? i think you just influenced me to buy it. killer lookin car man.

[M.Piedlourde]

That exhaust looks huge in the pic taken from the back. Which one is it?

And just out of curiousity, why "Nicci"?

[No Motiv]

You are the man.....nice body work...looks like new

edit: i looks like Greddy DD...fuckn huge

[bztech]

Sexy.. the body work came out great. Actually kinda diggin the exhaust.. I think its the angle it sitting at. Wheels are nice too!

[Nismo240SX]

one name... John-Claude Van Day'um!!!

[S14Speed997]

..now its time for kouki taillights..... :coold:

[Pepperoni]

You did finish sanding the rest of the car right? I hope you didn't just paint it in the condition it is in the first pic. Hopefully you just didnt paint it over your green paint cuz then if/when it chips, the green will happily appear. If not, then congrats, lookin good. And yea that exhaust looks HUGE :eek3:

[nokeone]

:werd:...on here too..still looks good..;)

[DRFT]

dont u have those wheels fool?




SHOTGUN*
yup he gots those wheels

[oojpeeoo]

good job...how much u end up forking out for the paint

[dvdevo]

yeah i know he has those wheels.. i took lots of pics of them at a meet hehe.

[DRFT]

i guess my sarcasm meter was off

[Matt_240]

first of all, cwest mini spoiler? :loco:

exhaust is n1dual. i guess it just looks big? i dont know. you should see my friend's exhaust. he did a custom tip 3+ inch piping. tips looks like greddy DD but they're twice as huge and long. i should take pictures next time.

i live in pearlcity, if you want, pm me before you get down here. itd be cool to meet up with someone from zilvia from another state.

yes, the car was sanded. and paint was like 500 i think. and no i didn't paint it myself.

thanks for the compliments. it still needs more suspension. my personal shortterm goals were to 1. drive better(so i stuck w/ ka) 2. improve suspension (so i dont feel so bad about sucking at driving) 3. make my car look nicer (so i look fast and intimidation factor) haha. i think ive accomplished #3 and some of #2 but #1 needs working on. DS may 30!

i just painted valve cover black and im gonna paint letters pink. should be bling. im organizing a small 240 meet this sunday so i'll post more pictures next week.

[Matt_240]

And just out of curiousity, why "Nicci"?

my g/fs middle name is Niccole. plus i think Nicci is sexay.

What spacers did you use may I ask. I think ima go through wheeladapters.com or whatever and have them fabricate me some 20mm. Did you do any pulling/ neg camber? I'm just going to roll the fender a bit in the front. Any close up pics of how flush in the front??

i got 15mm H&R and 5mm generic. i'll post pictures of it next week. i just rolled fenders a little in the front. some neg. camber but not much. still plenty of clearance. but i do have 215/40s.

[Salty_X]

The rears are 225/45 right? I like the look of it, I might have to go with that next time...

sorry bout that. ur right, it does look like i have a spoiler in that picture.

yea, exhaust doesnt look that great ..i already ordered the URAS one on groupbuy so it should look nicer.

[MrKaisan]

hey matt,

great job! i had no idead you painted it already!

makes me wanna paint mine black.

see you on sunday!

[SimpleS14]

car looks good...but yea about that exhaust....umm its ok :eek3d:

I wish my car was one color :-/

[boro240]

i think the exhaust would look better with aero covering more of it up

[Salty_X]

yea, exhaust doesnt look that great ..i already ordered the URAS one on groupbuy so it should look nicer.
:bowdown: to the groupbuy king!! :D

Bah, I like the exhaust you have on it...
If it was me, I'd get some foot long extensions for it, with angle-cut tips, that'd be sick. :coold:

:D heh heh. yea, i got some good deals though.

i like the exhaust but i didn' buy the URAS one for looks only. its for future when i go turbo. yea, if i kept it, i would have made extensions. i'll take a picture of my friends car the next time i see it. its the hugest most badass exhaust i have ever seen on a 240.

thanks kaisan. i'll see you on sunday. paintjob is not superb but its good enough.

boro - hope you get my pm in time. having a meet this sunday, 1030 at kakaako. if you can, stop by. and i already have aero ordered so it should cover up my exhaust fine for the time being.
