vas570sx · 12-16-2010, 11:14 AM

ok, so i had my coupe for a while, did events, smashed fenders, blew the motor...

fast forward about 2 months

i bought this thing, bone stock from Zoltan.

a little while went by and some dumb lady backed into me at a gas station

got like 1100 bucks from that, so instead of fixing the car completely, i bought a green door, a set of coilovers and a drum set...

then i bought a steering wheel, solid tranny mount, 25mm front and 50mm rear spacers and a set of rucas

and i traded my stock seat for one of these

then i did some more events, while getting rad on my drums

KA powered 3rd gear 75-80 mph entries at PBIR

and some countyline stuff

YouTube - VAS solo 3

after that, i got a pretty sweet deal on this body kit ( i havent installed the rear overs yet in this pic cuz the wheels weren't in yet) front are 25mm over and rears are 30mm over.

some boxes came in..

and these were inside..

threw some 225/40s on all 4 last night..

some more progress and pics will be posted along the way
ill have the rear overs and wheels on this week hopefully and painted hopefully before Miami grand drift on Nov 14th.

ahem...

and here's joels dog "Doobie"

and a cuban anole

its not done yet, i still gotta paint the mirrors and the aero kit as well as wet sand and buff the whole car and adjust the suspension.

heres another just for shits:

here are some pics that cool dudes took of my car at Miami GD

So, some things came in...

And I got some inner tie rod spacers from Chris Jackson.

Thanks to Pat and Ken from enjuku racing for sending me cool stuff

ill be updating this thread while i progress

All you WPB-area Zilvians/240 owners are real good at hiding. It seems like I'm the only 240 around here sometimes

Once in a while I'll get a surprise, though. Cool car anyways.

^Ok cool guy, instead of being a smart ass, give me a reason you dislike the car. If not, stop cluttering my thread with nonsense.

slow40sx · 01-14-2011, 12:26 PM

So I haven't updated this page in quite some time, but I've been a busy guy this past year. This will be a very long post. I'm sorry.

OK, to pick up where I left off:

This was an invite only event that i was able to drive. It was basically a 3 day demo to kick off the start of the Honda Grand Prix in St. Pete, FL. I'm the tall dude on the left with the long hair, haha

This was a team tandem competition where myself and my 2 team mates here took 1st place.
