15' 5x114.3 ... you're going to have a little trouble selling those.

About the body work

Which bumper ? Zooka ? Chuka? Cookie ?

Paint, light or dark color paint ?

[Dousan_PG]

kouki w/ optional lip right now. but might go aftermarket FRP, got a few i like a lot

will be getting some oem kouki sides too soon. might as well go full kouki, right?

mm dont knw about spoiler, probably be LAST thing, but if i do, it will be a tweaked kouki one, i HATE the OEM kouki spoiler. it looks out of place and small.

kouki tails.
i dont like them but the whole car will be modern style, it will look too odd w/o it.

staying 5 lug (FN01RC 17x9+15 probably w/in the next 2 weeks). get something else too once i get some info back

oh all show no go for a bit hahaha..getting SR too...ack. thats more expensive then all the oem kouki parts and paint! YIKES. im a perfectionist..d'oh!

kouki sides and s13 aero sides? are you insane?! yes, i am a parts whore. you have no idea how many wheels/seats/lsd/suspension/misc i have had on my car. i know grant beat me by far w/ exhausts but other then that..HMMM


my drivetrain and suspension is all done. im semi pleased w/ it (everything except the HEs) but that's easy to fix. car feels great and slides wonderfully and stable...VERY stable and i really cant be happier.

interior is just about done (comfort wise). added a 50mm steering wheel spacer, got my own Bride Brix and the steering wheel and overall setup, im very please.

so just got body and engine left.
:)

engine will be SR20DET S14, kouki zenki..dont really car. just stock w/ mild mods for now. who knows. depends on sponsors help and such. no rush. KA is going well and so forth.

anyways, color of car im decided on but i dont want to give it away hahaha..i can tell you that its pretty flashy and stands out. defintaely need the exterior DONE to rock this color. cant be no mismatched "i still need this and that" type color. should be the hotness.

cant wait till dorifto's car gets here.
2 kouki style 240sx chillin. sweetness.


thanks for the heads up on the forum, fiebru1119!

[Bbandit]

aaron
when you're bored with your kouki front..
i'll buy it from you :D

[mbmbmb23]

I predict he'll get hot pink. Win the lotto Dousan? :)
















-m

[Dousan_PG]

nah, no pink
its been done by a friend :)

win the lotto? no. dousan has a full time job. and a savings account.

[Beef]

Sounds goon man! Going to have paint and body done soon? Hopefully I can check it out when I'm out there in a few weeks. :)

[Dousan_PG]

at my slow rate and addiction tot he track..i say december should be done..done. paint matching is a biatch and i want it perfect!

just painting ousdie and such. dont care bout engine bay or anything, its NOT a show car and i HATE popping my hood at meets and such.


i want to get ALL the body parts and paint them all at once (spoiler, bumepr, 2 sets of sideskirt, rear valence, etc).

im slow and lazy for the most part. just waiting time for parts. gotta get the wheels next (cheap) and then the bumper for sure. ordering from japan takes forever..well, long time. :)

that's why im selling so much stuff
:) money for parts and all that good stuff.

ill also get a FRP vented hood, HOT ROAD or Ride Sports...similar to the one koguchi has..mm so nice. just shipping is a KILLER. maybe a friend is going to japan soon ;) have to find out. hehe..

[Steeles]

hahaha nice you still going with the color you told me? cant wait to see it. whens the new exhaust coming? I wanna hear that thing. good stuff coming. im jealous! someday I'll finish mine hahaha

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think your offset will work for the rx7 ppl. But I may be wrong.

nah, no pink
its been done by a friend


If we talking about the same friend, then maybe you should go check it out. I think it didn't turn out... So the car is actually... In the color that you mentioned to me before.

[Stee Flo]

Dang dous your car will look sweet! Where else are you getting your parts from besides Sam? Who got you a kouki front and hot road hood is what i want to know? Ruf?

[ruf]

I'm responsible for the kouki front. I'm getting one for my car.

Dousan - forget the stupid aero hood. Go ghetto style and get the Uras erobon.

[CrispMofo]

extreme modding.
i'm jealouse.
i need a savings account too.

[Brian]

your car is like las vegas... there is always something new everytime i see it. i hate you.

[Bbandit]

be sure to post lotsa2 pics of it when you're done

[240_keyy]

dousan, your car is going to kick flying testicals through magical goalposts of emothional confectioners syrup!

and that is a good thing :D

[deltrr]

dousan, you're forgetting something! (http://www.bumpernuts.com)

I think iti'll make your car look cute ;)

[MarvynDT]

Damn, you must have lots of money to be doing all this at once.

I can only afford to have my car painted over after the last paint butchering. I'm pulling out the KA and interior for a complete paint job. I wish an SR and Brix were going back in like your car.

[Dousan_PG]

ive ALWAYS wanted swinging nuts for my car! awesome for drifting!

MarvynDT: i get a lot of deals from companies (sponsored of sorts)
also i do my own paint prep work..i am not going to pay someone for smething like that i can do myself!

[fastpace]

deltrr that is funny and sick at the same time. it will make the car be a hermaphrodite because the car being a she and a he because of the nuts. lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ruf]
