Holy shit. I knew it was going to happen eventually, but did not expect
it to happen this soon. I just saw some dudes '88 Acura Legend get bastardized and then I saw a disgusting 240....
Pizza cutters here we come!!!

i saw this thread coming a mile away. I've seen worse like unpainted Silvia conversions :thumbsdown: God help that coupe, its going to glow like the fires of Mordor. You see all of those neons they were about to install?

Salty_X

Technically, the owner of every car on PMR made their car "that way" by letting them fall into decrepit shitpile'dness.
But yeah, I just saw the commercial for it... looks like he got a full sponsorship from GTP... they paint it lime green.

Oh yeah, good one MugenHonda!

funny how they used Need for speed underground 2 as the drawing board for thier build up.... see how stupid media/games became trend setters?? If i made some stupid movie showing alot of people putting velvet on thier roofs and going back to 13inch rims, people would probably do it *not commenting on low rider style, but as for a "racer" look*

haha.

you guys think too much.

MTV approached us for wheels for the show, and honestly it's all about what the kid wanted.

According to MTV, it was 1) fix the car by the end of the year or else parents were going to give the car away, and 2) he wanted something that resembled a car from the video game...

Some parts are top notch, others was just a matter of slapping things on the car for sake of having it on the car. I warned MTV about fitment issues and offset but their main criteria was "18" wheels and 414 bolt pattern", so I had no choice but to accomidate them with the crappy offset.

So.... stop speculating about it so much.

who the hell is this guy?

mrmephistopheles

what guy?

mav1178? He works at 5Zigen USA, and he's a bombass 240sx guy.
And he's more deserving of that coupe than the tool who owns it.

If they disgrace that car witha shopping cart wing I will never watch mtv again. They always ghettofy cars. Yo I got a vw bus with a 40 in tv. There gonna put 26in spinners on a 240 lol.

MugenHonda

I'd have to say though, that VW bus actually looked pretty damn cool. Also, ever since they got that new paint guy, 2shae or whatever, the paint schemes have been a lot less gay.

Honestly, I think I would rather see Funkmaster Flex get ahold of a 240SX than to see one on "Chimp My Ride," I have seen Flex exhibit flashes of minimal amounts of taste and restraint when it comes to certain things... Pimp My Ride seems to present it as a game of "what the fuck else can we make fit on this car?" and smash the fuck out of it and stick all on in the most tasteless fashion imaginable...

There is no need to pimp this kids ride. Its a 240, it's pimp enough.

mike13

ok, then if those were the only requirements, you could have given them a set FN01-RC's, 18x9.5 +12...

now couldn't you?

justinhustle

youve seen those in 4 lug?

sykikchimp

So Alex, are they gonna use 5zigen wheels? give us the dirt mang..

mike13

my bad... but a 5 lug conversion is a simple modification... and an absolutely necessary one if you want to run any wheel worth paying for.

mav1178

Ok you guys are not understanding me.

They approached me at SEMA. Asked me for wheels. I STRONGLY SUGGESTED THEY DO A 5 LUG CONVERSION. I even sourced out the parts necessary but since no one had 5 lug S13 front hubs in stock I told them the S14 setup was a bit more complicated. They were already behind schedule getting parts, so they decided to scrap the 5 lug aspect of the project.

And I do have to say, they actually were the ones who chose the Hyper 5ZR 18" wheels... not us. The reason? Almost two years ago Universal Vivendi contacted us for permission to use our products in the game. We sent them almost every single wheel of ours for digital scanning as well as exhaust products, and U-V chose some of the flashier wheels to be used in the game (from their point of view since the wheels are not very large on the cars in the game it was more about the look than functionality...)

And when WCC was commissioned to do this project they went through the entire game and found the "best looking wheel" according to what is in the game. The kid wanted 5 spoke wheels, they picked a 5 spoke wheel. FYI the exhaust is an Apex'i N1, at least what I was told.
