I know that it's not perfect, but Im not a mecanic and it's my first build up and my first swap ever... I do all by myself,I do it for fun! and the project is really not finished!!! I work on it like 3 or 4 hrs a week, so it's very slow!!! SO if you have some advise for me, please tell me!

[Chitown_B14]

Hey, you got to start somewhere. I think you're doing a good job. Keep up the good work.

[opponheimer]

paint time

..

[rb25drag]

Nice build man. I like seeing people completly strip the car and start from the ground up!!!! Nicely done +++

Plus the feeling inside that you done all the work yourself is awesome!!! only a few can actually say they did.... Congrats!!!!!

[SLeepingPanda]

I like what i see. keep up the good work. any technical issues you ran with the motor other than wiring? just curious.

[Justin Bernstein]

Looks great dude...I love build threads where we get more than one update/month. Im loving that green cage...this is exactly how I would build one.

[silviavert]

good Work !!!!!!

[Ninjabread]

Hey, hope to see you out at ste-eustache next year!

[PoorMans180SX]

Nice. Looks a lot like mine (same color), except you had more rust and I tore mine more apart.

Keep it up.

[FaLKoN240]

This is a nice build thread, as long as you keep posting updates, I don't think they will bitch at you to put it in the pic thread.

[samsx]

thank you guys for the feedback! Yes it will be painted soon! I don't know yet if I will paint it pearl white or charcoal grey. What iM sure is that it will have fluo green rims and black top!

[njd07]

nice ride... im in ottawa ...montreal is a wicked party city for all you traveling americans :P did you build that cage?? looks pretty nice. Im thinking about making one for my s13. how long did that take you to build? do you think you could replicate it easy? :bigok:

[nvrplzd240]

Looks good man. I'd say pearl white over charcoal if you're going with green wheels also.

[eds13]

time for 5 lug and real wheels. :D

[35suren]

nice build!!

[Ca_laurier]

lol i was expecting one of those kids builds where they install some springs and a vlsd and say they are a drifter. awsome ride now and damn was that engine bay nasty

and how did you get a beige car with a black interior, most of the ones i know of are that asty brown

[bwake 5]

good work man.... looks great........ dumps on my build

[s15meecrob]

ahhh cant wait to swap my car:bite:, nice build

No sorry, the rollcage is the only thing I didn'T do by myself, cause I wanted It just perfect! Ray Racing did it, it's a shop in the north side of montreal, who is building lots of rally cars and drift car.. the guy is really nice, and do great job!

Natsy yess!! I am in quebec with freacking winter!!

Think about how i feel! It's -35 right now in Winnipeg. :( Goodluck on the build! I did this exact thing last year, i should have taken pictures of the progress! Mine is completely rust free now =D

Goodluck!:bigok:

I hate winter here... To be forced to store my car in my garage for 5 months.... it's very long..... At least i can save money during this time for more parts to buy at spring time!!!

Time to winterize. I bought storage insurance for my 180sx but have yet to do the necessities like fuel stabilizer and washing the car... grrr!

[diomedes]

Good job! It's nice to see build ups like this one.
Keep it up and when done painting, post pics!!

[jackjack]

first time huh? looks good man. keep at it. rock on.

[KeepItBrutal.S13]

HELL ya, it looks great. i like the green role cage. keep us posted.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

props to you and your work! car looks well put together. what co;or you gonna paint it?

[AznDrftr.]

Very nice, man, nice build up.

[Team Aero-K]

Very nice build up man, keep up the good work...and keep the pics coming. I am originally from Montreal myself, Brossard area was where i lived but been in FL for 14 years and it sucks...haha

[driftxing]

Nice work.

Tu es le homme!

[samsx]

Thank you guys for all the good comments!! Yes it's my first build up, and yes i am not the best and im poor as hell, but im doing my best cause I like building my car and drive it on the track :2f2f: !!

[samsx]

props to you and your work! car looks well put together. what co;or you gonna paint it?

Im gonna paint it pearl white with wheels same color as my rollcage (with a chrome lip ).

I will post some pics soon of the last update before winter, some Sparco bucket seats installed, gauges and LSD.

[samsx]

and if you guys have some idea of wich wheel would be nice on my car, respecting an affordable cost, and good quality, and not a freacking size like 18x12!! I plan to put 17x9 all around or maybe 17x10 in the rear, i don't know.. the color don't mater cause I will paint it green. I want a chrome lip tough.

[dkingkong]

lookin good!
lovin the green cage!
it'd look good with a pearl white car, imo.

[samsx]

little teaser pics before I will have time to put all the upgrades pics!

[Slammed Assassin]

[superduner]

Very Very Impressed :) loved the pics gotta respect a man who does his own project from the ground up . PROPS! bout how long would you say has it taken you thus far to have done what u did? how much $ ?

[Gjohnson7]

Nice. Keep the pics coming. The build looks really clean.

[canuckster240]

samsx (http://www.zilvia.net/f/member.php?u=31249) what bodykit is that, can anyone identify it. I like the rear bumper and sideskirts... not too sure on quality of front bumper, it looks bumpy/not smooth.

it's the Andy'S auto sport Bloodline.

Thanks you! It took me 2 years and over 25000$ :-/

[canuckster240]

How's the quality? Looking at it, it seems flimsy not solid and not smooth... i want to paint black and certainly all will be visible on black....

[240drifter1]

Clean car man.

[dori_sil8t]

good stuff man

[s13 @ fullboost]

wow thats look great +1 for you =]

[kuruptR]

nice wheel choice, one of the better gram lights

[samsx]

How's the quality? Looking at it, it seems flimsy not solid and not smooth... i want to paint black and certainly all will be visible on black....

it's not as bad as it seem.. I had some fitting ( like every bodykit) to do but not a lot, the finish is good. I've sanded it to 800 and it look great. I don't think you will have trouble painted it black.

[Bubbles]

Nice progress man.

[samsx]

damn... i like it, wish i had that kind of money to just spend it on my s13 :]

i want more pictures!!!!

[canuckster240]

Anyone know what that body kit is ripped off from by andy's auto? I like it overall, but I want to get the authentic one... actually I would change the front bumper a bit .. if it could use the japanese square lights instead of the chouki lights... i dont like the fitment on the front bumper and flimsiness, not that it couldnt be taken care of but...

It actually doesn't look half bad, red like black shows things... but I guess they spent their time, just not liking the fitment of the front bumper. Looks much nicer in white. Your car looks nice in white :) Also MUCH better with the original hatch lights as opposed to the ugly kouki lights... it just doesnt flow with the kouki tailights. Also your wheels are sexy flush and big, while these are ugly ebay wheels lol.

Andy's Auto Sport Bloodline


There's this kit as well that's sort of similar...

Extreme Dimensions M-1 Sport Body Kit

But I found some more pix of that and it seems to only really look good in that bright orange/red

http://www.ilovebodykits.com/images/products/89_240sxm1sportfront.jpg

Wheels make such a huge difference...

[ThatGuy]

I thought Andy's knock-off was from the J-Blood kit.

[canuckster240]

Woah! Thank you buddy! You are awesome haha

I just spent wasting time editing to see what this would like sort of... with the typical front bumper

http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/6533/photo073er3.gif

Doesnt look that nice lol...

Those pics you posted are with just pulled (or not pulled) fenders front/rear? It looks kick ass :)

I'm trying to decide on a nice bodykit in black... i like that style of skirt and rear bumper...i dont like the ones that stick out all out...

[ThatGuy]

I believe they are just rolled. Not really certain though.

http://www.j-blood-na.com/180sx/index.htm

[canuckster240]

Just made this... :)

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/3571/n202qa2.gif

[a_ahmed]

Well here's me...

My skills are so out of date/out of practice :( ... Two years of no photoshopping lol...

Sigh, I tried to do the same with my wheels/tires/brakes and dual tip instead of single tip and well real original hatch lights... some lil tint, less blueness (well its from the sky) i dunno... i fail :( or my car will look ugly once painted black with these wheels/etc...


http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/3402/n2022pu7.jpg

I could probably do a better job with a wacom tablet... i did it with mouse... time consumming and sucks :(

Perspective seems messed so I gave up lol...

Are your wheels 18s? I'm planning to put my 17s...

http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/6533/photo073er3.gifI would actually like to find a bumper like that... if there was one exactly like that.

[Ninjabread]

Closest thing to that is vertex...

http://www.avoncustom.co.uk/downloads/vert_180sx_1024.jpg

[a_ahmed]

That looks awesome... thank you ninjabread... That's a full vertex bodykit? (skirts, front fenders).. looks like an official vertex car so I'd assume it is but just wondering...

[Ninjabread]

Yep, It's vertex all around. He're another shot.

http://t-and-e.co.jp/img/detail_images/vertex/180sx/car_img.jpg

[a_ahmed]

I think I'm set, problem is now I'm confused on color choice, this is the most expensive frickin hobby ever :-/ I was/am so set on black... but then the wheels i have im not sure will look very good with black... chrome/silver always looks the best on black. Silver is nice on red cars too.. really pimp. Haha, in either case, thanks, was helpful. I searched around and found some more pix as well, I wish I could afford the vertex ridge kit... THAT thing is.. amazing... How much would a vertex ridge full kit cost to canada anyways... and if you can find a full kit on a black car that'd be helpful too. Sorry for sort of hijacking this thread :)

[mr_240sx]

good job on hyjacking someone elses thread.

[samsx]

hey guys, start a bodykit fitement thread ;)

[samsx]

Are your wheels 18s? I'm planning to put my 17s...


yes, they are 18x9.5 all around

note that I had a little problem on this run... My L/H front wheel caber plate came loose and My camber became shit positive!! And it was the only run that the photographe took picture..:wtc:

[240trainee]

Car looks sick man, good to see a project actually finished, props to that.

[a_ahmed]

Man that is awesome :) I love your car. Damn.. 18s look SO sexy on hatchbacks with a nice bodykit like that... mmmmm sexy hehe

[aa87]

Andy's auto sport's blood line has a taller center vent, up to about the middle of the turn signals while the jblood's cuts off way lower.

I think bloodline looks better.

[mrpeepers]

Props on actually making a succesful build thread! Oh yea, and props on the car hehe

[canuckster240]

any updates, awesome car

[wannabe_drifter]

Awesome car ! really clean

What tracks are the pictures from ??? Doesn't look like st-eustache.
In page 2 is it Sanair ??

You should come to Ste-croix at a drift day.
