Hey you guys I'm new to the forum but a long time lover of silvias. Thinkin about gettin a 240 hatch back and doing an s15 conversion as mu next project car. tell me what you guys think of my 7 though.

unwed_transient · 11-28-2005, 04:55 PM

nice paint. fd's have some of the nicest stock wheels.

xeros · 11-28-2005, 05:16 PM

thanks. I'm fine with the wheels as they are actually for now.

sw20>>s14 · 11-28-2005, 05:42 PM

its cool and all, but im not feeling the black swoosh...nice high quality paint job none the less...

Jcb890 · 11-28-2005, 05:42 PM

nice blue color but the stripe/decal on there looks pretty bad.

also, is the interior/trim painted white? that looks pretty tacky too.

cali240sxdrifter · 11-28-2005, 05:50 PM

the color is really nice, but the black strip gets to me... the already tired and common look a black roof top would have went better than that black strip.

the bumper is sagging a bit and the hood needs alignment... but overall I like it, not too bad.

**ThatGuy** · 11-28-2005, 06:01 PM

I don't like the black highlights, and I realy don't like the incredibly oversized pictures. Judging by the paint scheme on this car, and your plans for the 240,I'd say you are interested in show cars, in which case you will not likely find much support from Zilvia.net. Good luck though, and welcome to Zilvia.

SR240DET · 11-28-2005, 06:05 PM

c-west molded bodykit

very nice job on the paint though....

xeros · 11-28-2005, 06:31 PM

actually its painted heres a pic to clarify. Also its not done I slapped it together just to get some picturesof my work in hi res for thos who were intrested. Also I am not actually intrested in show that much, the car's interior has been stripped completely the pieces were painted silver but will soon all be remade from carbon with modifications to hold extra gauges and what nto and clean up the look. The style of the car was done simply to attract customers, the car was actaully goign to be white before hand but then decided to to follow through with the original plan. The car is set up for Auto X and track events. Its sitting on a set of Tein HT (tarmac racing suspension) struts and has plenty more coming for the suspension. Might even have to spend 940 dollars to have em revalved and to get softer springs. The car is currently sitting on uber stiff 18 kg springs.

picture of the stripe up close. and HT struts

you can see the blue candy and pearl in the black stripe it self.

BTW, I'm only 19 and I rebuilt this entire car from the ground up with my own 2 hands.

xeros · 11-28-2005, 06:35 PM

its also not a cwest kit but it was a set of apex side skirts

SR240DET · 11-28-2005, 06:50 PM

my bad.. i just asumed.... it remindeds me of the c-west...

this local shop molds body kits here and iv seen them mess up alot of good looking cars... ever since i cant stand it because it reminds me of them...

xeros · 11-28-2005, 06:56 PM

eeeehhh I can see hwo you feel on it bu this kit from apex is practically stock looking. Thake a good look at a pic of the kit unmolded, then the car stock and then mine almost no diffrence I needed something to go along with the front bumper's low lip. The Apex kit was the cleanest and most stock looking. I thought I did a nice clean job myself. I guess I can't please everyone

nsn240 · 11-28-2005, 08:29 PM

looks good, must be nice to have your car with that big ass gate protecting it

EchoOfSilence · 11-28-2005, 09:34 PM

i loved it until I saw that the rear and sides were molded. especially for a car that's gonna see track duty, that was a bad idea. I'm liking the black stripes actually, not a big fan of the front end though. rims look eh

but besides that, i'm fucking impressed with the coilovers. more details of your plans for the suspension?

xeros · 11-28-2005, 09:42 PM

Well it has a a suspension techniques rear sway bar, waiting to get a tri point engineering front sway bar, urethnae bushings if i can even find em anymore. cusco strut bars and thats about it for now. The molding for the parts is for the meanwhile. Like a year or two to attract some of my own customers. I like how it cleans up the rear end as well s I wont say much more than that. The rims are stock and I hope to get some work vs xx or ce28ns in 17x9.5 and 17x10 or some white rims in the same size.

EchoOfSilence · 11-28-2005, 09:47 PM

the vs-xx will decimate everything else.
as long as those molds come off

xeros · 11-29-2005, 12:48 PM

just not a big fan of the molding are ya? well when I switch over to the san ai kit, I'll be sure to not mold it in.

EchoOfSilence · 11-29-2005, 12:58 PM

you're gonna hit shit on the track. no matter what. when you're gonna want to take some body parts off... oh man good luck when they're molded.

xeros · 11-29-2005, 02:22 PM

true. very true, like i said not gunan look this way for too long.

by the way what do you think VOlk or work?

Var · 11-29-2005, 03:42 PM

i vote for the CEs...sounds like a very promising set up...keep up the good work, you baller you...

EchoOfSilence · 11-29-2005, 09:23 PM

vs-xx or meister s1's

xeros · 11-29-2005, 09:45 PM

IMHO the meisters are foul. The emotion S1s are actually pretty decent though. But the more i look at the Ce-28Ns in black the more hyped up I get. As far as under hood mods go, I will be building a V moutn soon. have all the parts to do it. intake dp, mp, cb, apex PFC, pullies. 850cc primary 1300cc secondary. stock twins will proabbly blow soon. other than that I dont need much more power than 350 truthfully. No A/C. And a innovative wideband O2 for tuning.

blu808 · 12-01-2005, 02:30 AM

You are going to regret molding that kit on. Car looks really good i think. I hate the black though.

Bad ass coilovers, but all you will do is understeer on auto x, and fall off the track on time attack unless you are running slicks with enough bite to actually load up those springs.

Please put an ls1 in it.

xeros · 12-01-2005, 07:35 AM

NO LS1, and I know I'm gunna get the HT's revalved for much softer springs. But I was planning to use slicks for auto X so we will see. But chnaces are I will get revalved and softer springs in the spring becasue I wanna be able to drive it around as well.

420sx · 12-01-2005, 08:10 AM

hmm.... cant see the pic

Yeah, those black CE look real mean on your car. It also matches with the other black tones around the exterior. Nice photoshopping...had some free time on your hands huh? haha.
