ok i know i know SEARCH!!!.....

im pretty new to the 240 scene ( i dont even own one yet) but there is one down the street that ill probly get... its a 93 coupe...anyway here are my questions

the interior is brown :barf: ... where is a good place to buy new carpet... the dash ill check junk yards.... and do some suede on door panels and headliner and glove box...

where is the best place to buy the s13 front end... and on a 1-10 scale how hard is the install...i had an accord and i did the JDM headlight conversion on that so im semi mechanicly inclined....

paint scheme? i think i like the 2 tone... i was thinking maybe a navy blue/gold (like the subaru outbacks) with a bronze rim.... any one have any pictures of there 2 tone s13 (i know i could check the pictures page but there is like 100+ pages)

eventually ill do the sr swap but for now i think ill just do the basic intake exhaust headers shortshifter and suspension

sorry for all the questions i know i should search... i did and got mass pages... and im new so dont flame me so bad haha

thanks

edit: maybe paint like this... maybe a darker bottom half

Silvia front is about a 1 to 2 out of 10. Buy them off of ebay. Jarco and J-hot have them all the time. So you could make the 5-6 hour drive. The reserve for j-hot is 700$, and Jarco is around 800. AdvancedAuto should be able to order the carpet.

silvia front end, it's a 1, just plug and chug, and maybe splice a wire or two for the corner lights,

basically, 2 bolts on the fender on the door side, about 4-5 bolts on top of the fender, and 5 bolts from fender to bumper. Everything direct swap. 4 bolts holds the bumper support to the frame. So... just lots of bolts, and some of 'em is a pain to get to.

now u can donate 50 cents to me (paypal:[email protected]) If you donate a buck, i'll run u through it on the phone :naughty:

you should search or die, preferably either both or the latter.

If you knew, then why the hell didn't you do it. Seriously kid, these questions have been ask so many times they aren't even humurous anymore. Please take advantage of the search function in the future to avoid this kind of thing.

Well perhaps if you spelled CONVERSION properly, you would've gotten some good threads.

i got an idea. why don't you go screw yourself with a lead pipe through the skull, kid? I had the testicular fortitude to track down a company specializing in what i needed instead of asking people to respond to my idiotic pleas for someone to hold my hand while i mod my car. do you sleep with the light on and get your mom to hold your wang while you take a leak... or was it "uncle" earl?

if you expect to stay here long at all i suggest you try to hone your posting skills instead of trying to piss off the LAST folks you wanna mess with.

go back to honda world, kiddo, cause i've just decided to make your stay here as unpleasant as possible.

Just a little heads up kid, I'm not post whoring. I'M WORKING! See how my name is in bold, and yours isn't, wonder if that signifies anything?? :loco:

BTW your paint scheme isn't a new idea, they made two-tone 240sx's. Again, SEARCH kid. There are lots of answers here, if you aren't lazy.

Please don't two-tone a car that wasn't originally two-tone to begin with.

People who do that, will go to hell.

The carpet is ugly? Coo, take it out.

PS - It's already a S13, so how do you do a S13 conversion?

SEARCH
