hope you like it, met Klay through a friend when i worked at GUMBALL3000 and he hooked it up with a ride. used to have a wrx but im a poor kid moving off to college and i dont have much money for insuance and a car payment so a 240 w/ sr is a good fit.

In case you've missed it. There is a picture thread, which is located here: http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=78492
Also, "SoCal, we invented JDM", is incorrect.

I think he purchased the car pre-built...doesn't look too bad probably could use a different front/rear bumper since it looks like the sideskirts are lower, and some wheel spacers but oh well nice car.

Side skirts and 5lug are probably the best thing on that car :)

Just gonna regurgitate shit 'cause I feel like it.
- His Location is obviously a joke. (The whole "SoCal, we invented, JDM" thing)
- Your wheels aren't flush. Get new rims or spacers.
- You need a front lip and rear aero. Or just get a whole new aero kit.
I like the car otherwise. Very clean.
Have fun

is it me or does everyone hates socal.............
Qp doesnt look like it has bondo.. gotta be in person to really see... but i dont think its that flush....
Looks awkward because the sides look much lower than the front or rear bumpers.

my evo was the same color b4 it died in a ditch=( good foundation, just get a lip and since u have 5 lug u need to take adv of it and get some nice rims! car is nice and clean tho

- Your wheels aren't flush. Get new rims or spacers.
actually his rims fit, unlike the going trend on this forum. oh noes he's got a centimeter of fender extending behond his tire!
still needs a front lip and back kit if he's gonna rock sideskirts.
my opinions:
-needs new aero
-JDM came from japan, i hate that phrase with a passoin
-wheels are kinda ugly
-insurance on my WRX is cheaper then my 240

i know i'd take the 5 lug over the t-28...right? calm down mang, just teh internet dont get pissed.
yeah i somewhat bought the car pre built, as in i bought the car with an SR, but everything else was what i requested be put in the car. i knew my budget and knew what i wanted for the car ( i.e. turboback, and kyb suspension) if i would have just bought the car, i would have put all these parts on in eventually ( sans the wheels, i just needed a cheap wheel that fit the pattern and the z33 were for sale ) Plus klay threw in a few things i didnt need or for that matter care for---such as a greddy intake mani and brembo calipers. im not complaining.
as for the JDM Flushn3ss comment, i was poking fun at the whole deal, thought it was a funny pic. some 5mm spacers will do the trick but i dont really care to much for making the wheels flush, its not terribly important to me.
as for the aero, i will only be doing a small lip spoiler, the car is plenty low, and the skirts dont jet down far.

buying a prebuilt car takes a the fun out of building one...youll never really feel like the car is truely yours...good start i guess but you got a lot of work left to do...

so true, i built my rex up from stock and that was so fun. i plan on building this one up too, but really slow. its was a kind of quick fix plan, and i figured i would get flamed, but i dont regret it....the deal was too good

actually if everyone was on his nuts, they would be praising the car.
just last night i was thinkin about how z33 wheels would look on a 240, s14 though. car looks clean, have fun with it.

thnaks for all the comments guys!

the guys on nasioc are actually way friendly compared to zilvia lol
i have a wrx and i just jumped on nasioc myself.
You need front aero and more lower...that's all

Sweet car man...As far as taking all the fun out of his new ride I doubt that is true. He will be rockin his while we are wrenching to get out on the street.
Also if it took "all the fun out of it" guys like Boyd, Jessie James,and Foose would be out of business ya think

man... those wheels look horrible on the car, but it may just be because of the mismatching aero.

No, the wheels do not look good on that car, nor had any of the 3 previous ones I saw with those very wheels...

05-14-2005, 11:27 AM
because of their design, those wheels looks actually bigger than 17 for some reasons. I would suggest some gold/silver color, low offset volks with some polish lips. A lower front aero for sure. Rear doesn't matter as much to me. Nice clean car, most ppl are just bitter that you have such a clean s13. Clean s13 = rarity.

what do you mean mismatching aero, there is no aero but the skirts. the wheels arent bad, in person or when the car is moving they look quite a bit better. my only gripe with them is the weight....23lbs per corner. i really would like another set of 57 pros like on my rex, that or teh 57s.

thanks man, where are you located in SoCal, im in north SD county. what meets do the socal 240 guys go to. usuall i roll w/ www.awjunkies.com seeing as i intern there for school and ive had a rex for a while.
i have seen the pignose lips that people use, what would be a good option, low key lip for a cheap price for the s13 jdm front in your opinion. its is very low as is, certainly wont clear a coke can

Whats up man,
I saw your pics over on the nasioc boards recently, I like the car..looks similar to mine..:)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/stryfe101/galaxy_2403S.jpg
its very clean looking, and I think you got a pretty good deal on it, liven it up with some front and rear bumpers (something simple..say factory aero? or lips) and it will look nice and mean.
Later
