So i apologize for not having a great build thread.. and i do have some more pix if anyone is intested.. but its like 100 below 0 here and i been doing all this in my garage with the help of two really good guys. Today the snow actually melted of the road and i could take it out and drive it..

Now i want to say THANK YOU to ryan (s13onevia) and brian.. with your help this would have took me forever. willing to come over and spend all freakin nite in a none heated garage where it was probly 15 degrees outside and 30 where we were workin.. THANK YOU couldnt have done it without your help!


JACK and ALEX.. i wish you guys were up here to help.. you shoulda seen how easy that tar chipped out! anyway heres your new TEAM SUS*PECT ride... oh and reliable enough to get to cali!!

[lazy240]

[mr_240sx]

yeah seriously what was wrong with the coupe? it looked pretty good

[vodka2]

aye boss what kit do you have on the coupe.. its nice. :wavey:

[mr_240sx]

looks like vertex front and m sport sides

[jeffsm3]

bingo vertex front and msport sides.. i will start a for sale thread also here in a bit..

and as for damage let me go get a pic.. and ill post it..

[jeffsm3]

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh14/jeffsm3/017.jpg
here the damage..

[vodka2]

if your front bumper is still clean like that in the pic.. ill buy it.

[LongGrain]

so your not going to go Sil80?

build looks great so far though!

[ThatGuy]

Going from Coupe to Fastback = Instant Fail!

:keke:

Good luck with everything.

[civilized_drifter]

Going from Coupe to Fastback = Instant Fail!

:keke:

lol. that why i, myself have both.

have fun with the hatch!!

[drftwerks]

sil-80 is fail

[240truk]

^^true, I second that

[jeffsm3]

yea sil-80 is fail... and i LOVE coupes if i could find one here in idaho i would have done it.. trying to find a dam 240 in idaho is ridiculous man.. This place is like a whole different country.. so i picked up what i could..

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

so your not going to go Sil80?

build looks great so far though!

no sil-80's in TEAM SUS*PECT!


the chassis on the car was more twisted then the last pretzel you ate. it was from a salvage title a while back



jeff sell the kit as whole unless you wanna keep the side skirts. if not sell all together, as shipping individual sucks!

[jeffsm3]

its in ok shape.. the bumper has a couple cracks.. so if someone wants it pm me..

yes that crack sux.. and i like pretzels..

[veilside180sx]

I like both coupes and fastbacks, but very much do not like sileighty's

[GSXRJJordan]

I <3 Team Sus*pect.

Sweet 4lug 'nades too, I like 'em. Good sizing, or big spacers?

I agree with ThatGuy about the coupe->hatch thing but hey, having a hatch is better than not having a 240.

[jeffsm3]

agreed^ hatch better then nothing.. just good sizing.. no spacers.. i need some for the back though..

[thedecapitator]

hatch ftw!! sorry idk i had to say it <3:hs:

[s13Dr1ft]

hatch ftw!! sorry idk i had to say it <3:hs:

fo sho. hatch love.

[BustedS13]

fo sho. hatch love.

+1
coupes look silly with the back seat removed. hatches were born to be gutted

[azndoc]

Yes that's right Jack believes that Sil-80 equals total failure.

Nice to see that your working on the 240s Jeff.

Hurry up and get it done.

When I get back tomorrow I'll give you a call and we'll get the parts flowing to you from here.

[LongGrain]

yea, i dont like sileightys, but i saw he had the coupe front taken off, wasnt sure if he was going to transplant it onto the hatch or not.

so umm...i guess i <3 team sus*pect then? lol

[mr_240sx]

team suspect for the win! rock on!

[ByeByeSti]

loookin good, keep up the good work

[rb25_s13*CHUKI]

Going from Coupe to Fastback = Instant Fail!

:keke:

Good luck with everything.


:eek: :eek: :eek: .. Im hurt... It's all good i want my coupe back also. But yea my fast back also has something like that going on it's cracking under my wheel well also.. Looks like it could be time for a new s chassis

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

team suspect for the win! rock on!

you must spread reputation around before giving it to Mr.240sx again!:love:

[bribot]

looks awesome jeff!!!! im glad we lowered it more last night, looks awesome... lemme know when you get your exhuast so we can get that on and maybe roll the fenders if needed.

[ericcastro]

+1 for no sil 80

I think silvia front fits the boxy back of the coupe,
and the pointy nose fits the pointy rear of the hatch.

just my opinion :)

BTW, im gonna try and time my Washington state trip this summer to a drift event in WA I can run in.(monroe WA ?). maybe if your tired of nothing going in idaho, you could drive the 6-7 hours over :)

[racepar1]

Hey what does everyone have against sil-80's? I love mine! I miss my coupe though! Coupe>fastback for shure!

[MunsonAuto]

yea sil-80 is fail... and i LOVE coupes if i could find one here in idaho i would have done it.. trying to find a dam 240 in idaho is ridiculous man.. This place is like a whole different country.. so i picked up what i could..

hah, try finding one here in vermont. I've only seen four 240's here, including mine. Three were hatches, two clean (one's mine) the other doesn't run and was towed i think, the third was a red one i barely saw. and the fourth was a rust bucket of a coupe.

anyway, that coupe was so nice, i love the blue and silver two tone, almost identical to the two tone i did on my old caddy..

see above! it doesn't flow right IMHO! and many more feel the same too!

[racepar1]

It flows fine in my opinion. From the front it makes the car look wider due to the lights and grill and from the side it matches the angle of the deck lid to tail light section quite well. Does it look better on a coupe, absolutely the coupes just look better period. Does it fail, NO! You guys are being way too harsh. Actually I think the ugliest thing on any 240's is the stock chuki bumper. Without a lip the car has a GIANT overbite!

[RedStage]

coupe looked good, sry to see it started coming apart.

[yarou]

Oh shit, TELL ME that's rustoleum BERRY PINK

[EDacIouSX]

the only conversion i realyl like on hatches is the s 15 front cause i think it actually flows with the car. sil80s are whatever. and DAAAAAAAAAAAMN that is some PWNAGE DAMAGE. wow never seen damage like that.

[RedStage]

S13 or S15 SIL80....S14 just doesn't work.
Only reason no one likes Sil80's anymore is because it's been done to death stateside.

Like a OneVia flows right.....sorry guys, I just don't like USDM S13 240sx Coupes...born and raised on Silvia's.
Don't get me wrong, they are alright, but I would not buy one myself....

[vvtisupra]

and yes RIP... dam this car gave me some good times.. too bad that accident damage was worse then we thought...

[KiLLeR2001]

Let's get the facts straight here folks:

240sx Coupe w/ Popups = FAIL.
240sx Coupe w/ Silvia Front = WIN.
240sx Coupe w/ Kouki S14 Front = SEMI-WIN.
240sx Hatch w/ Silvia Front = SEMI-FAIL.
240sx Hatch w/ Popups = WIN.
240sx Hatch w/ S15 front = WIN.

That just goes for the S13's. S14 guys should stay zenki (glass) or kouki, the s15 front just doesn't look as clean as it does on the s13 hatch.

[racepar1]

" put it in your fucking mouth poofter. drink my cum. DRINK IT."

hahah this is the neg rep i got for saying sil-80 = fail, it still does, ahhah

Wow that is gay! Somebody got a little butthurt.

Your opinion is not fact! Get over yourself.

wow that's uncalled for. you should report it to a mod so they can ban the jackass

[mr_240sx]

yeah that truly sucks but the thing you want to do is take it and not complain about it in threads....itll get you even more red.

[240truk]

^^yeah i wouldnt normally. just thought it was rediculous haha

[IStop4NoMan]

well i was going to do a sil-80.....

but now.... :sadwavey:

[S13_Nightkid]

any conversion on a fb is FAIL(just my opinion)
coupexanything= EXCELLENT

[Bobafreak]

wow this thread.......

[racepar1]

well i was going to do a sil-80.....

but now.... :sadwavey:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What a bandwagoner! He changed his mind because he found out it is not "cool"! :keke:

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

Like a OneVia flows right.....sorry guys, I just don't like USDM S13 240sx Coupes..

Let's get the facts straight here folks:

240sx Coupe w/ Popups = FAIL.


that's a shot through my heart!:-/
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/ale89se/pics048.jpg

[racepar1]

Oneivas can look dope, don't pay any attention man! We all need a......:ughug: LOL!

[mr_240sx]

Alex dont worry......coupes= WIN no matter what! its just hatch people hating because they dont have a coupe lol

[RedStage]

that's a shot through my heart!:-/
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h10/ale89se/pics048.jpg

I'm not saying they can't look nice...just that they aren't my cup of Ocha :)
Yours does tend to sway my opinion...slightly ;)

I've had two S13 Silvia's and a 180SX. Loved them both for how they looked.

[KiLLeR2001]

lol it seems a lot of you took my post to be serious (neg rep out the asshole), I was just kidding around, I love all 240's equally! Alex yours is very nice indeed.

[IStop4NoMan]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What a bandwagoner! He changed his mind because he found out it is not "cool"! :keke:

it was a joke.

of course im not going to change my mind because of one thread. :mrmeph:

[racepar1]

Pathetic joke dude! For some reason I do not believe you though.

[PhAtXSuMo]

your in Idaho haha i was wondering... when did it start snowing in LA???? haha

[240truk]

...but sil80s do fail like 99% of the time. dont get me wrong though. they're sick if done right, but its rare

can't hate on this
http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/julianjacobs/Car/Nissan/s13/sdtjsrtj.jpg

or this
http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/julianjacobs/Car/Nissan/s13/mustang.jpg

...oops, thats a stang80 hehe. joke

[GSXRJJordan]

Alex, your car is pretty hot, don't worry. It's just you we have a problem with lol.

The stang front looks like smashed ass... and you KNOW it was expensive too... ugh.

[240truk]

HAHA! such a waste of money. and waste of an s13

240sx Coupe w/ Silvia Front = WIN.
240sx Coupe w/ Kouki S14 Front = SEMI-WIN.
240sx Hatch w/ Silvia Front = SEMI-FAIL.
240sx Hatch w/ Popups = WIN.
240sx Hatch w/ S15 front = WIN.
S15 w/180 front = hot like sauce

That just goes for the S13's. S14 guys should stay zenki (glass) or kouki, the s15 front just doesn't look as clean as it does on the s13 hatch.

I must agree with this. Added an amendment though.

[240truk]

^^yes... what bumper is that anyway??? looks like bn-sports with chuki lights. Always thought that combo would be sick. not d-max right?? lip is too big

[JVD]

Looks like D-Max to me...

[240truk]

its damn close but i dont think so. the bottom of the lip is sharper on the d-max kit. and the body line comes almost to the turn signal on that s15. cool though either way

[jeffsm3]

well im glad this thread is still going.. gotten a lil off topic but i might as well add my opinion...

for myself.. ill always have coupe lub! and ill find one out here somwhere. as for sil-80 just not my style.. nothing wrong with um but not for me.. Im actually starting to really enjoy my hatch now.. i didnt really know if i would feel a difference in driving it against the coupe.. but i do. It feels like it has a much looser ass! and we all know how much us mexi-cans like loose ass!

alex the car looks hot! punk ass... oh and the snow in LA well i guess it just all landed at my house sorry you missed it.

[240truk]

^^ felt that same thing switching to a coupe. seems like to rear end grips way more.

[sldbyuramg]

silvia front on a hatch doesnt look very good imo but i think that the s15 front on it looks sex.
i dont think that the popups look that bad on a coupe as long as they are sleepy. but silvia front is 10 X better.

[KiLLeR2001]

I must agree with this. Added an amendment though.

sex but it belongs on an s15, looks even better
