What do you wish you DIDN"T DO to your 240? - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Doing my own wiring...finally after 2 years. Oh and swapping and buying a sr when you are 16.

Nezahualcoyotl · 07-26-2009, 11:32 PM

spending $150 on new RUCA's, while I had a perfectly good pair. Needed a lil bit of welding though.

Spending $2200 on a SR swap, then getting refed a year later. really stupid.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 07-26-2009, 11:46 PM

WASTING money on cheap parts, then having to replace them with quality parts.

Learned the hard way, but hey, at least I learned.

There's a lot of idiots on here that never learn.

Do it right, or do it twice.

Kaiyoken · 07-27-2009, 12:10 AM

Regretted ever selling my rx7 and buying a honda instead. Atleast i sold that and got a 240

VQMaxFan · 07-27-2009, 12:28 AM

welding the diff

w0nderbr3ad · 07-27-2009, 12:33 AM

Getting megan coilovers.

johnksoy · 07-27-2009, 12:41 AM

kinda regret buying a 240 cause im broke as shit and would rather have something more comfortable and economical right now. Then Regret buying kts coilovers, kts tie rods, cause I only been to the track twice in 2 years. Regret hawk brake pads cause its my daily driver and found out duralast pads are lifetime warranty. I regret getting my liscence altogether. I would of saved so much just buming off rides. Thinking of all the gas and maintenance spent the last 2 years when I didnt really need a car, Priceless. BTW im 18 so yeah didnt really NEED a car past 2 years. But hey, Im lagging it but gonna get my welded diff installed soon. I got some cheap tires and just gonna burn my patheticness away. wow what a testimony.

Ares240SX · 07-27-2009, 02:01 AM

I regret not having a job currently. I want to turbo the damn KA24DE so bad it isn't funny. I have some of the parts and I can't do anything with em...

dsc4130 · 07-27-2009, 02:54 AM

parking my old two tone behind my driveway in the path of my dads f250, totalled

waynehead05 · 07-27-2009, 02:59 AM

Solid motor mounts. Way too much rattle.

CursedGTR · 07-27-2009, 04:45 AM

I regret not sticking to my plan to finish my car on time and going off on little tangents that turned the whole project from a couple month ordeal to a couple years. Oh Well.

I regret, not learning a little bit more about body and paint work before I tore the car apart and got to work (did it over and over and over and over and well you get the picture)

I regret buying a bunch of crazy NAMS suspension pieces and not spending that money on back halfing it when I had the chance.

josephin510 · 07-27-2009, 05:19 AM

Buying Rota rims they cracked and a CHUNK caved in i nearly lost my life on the freeway.DONT BUY ROTA ANYTHING HATS STICKERS RIMS NOOOO

***FaLKoN240*** · 07-27-2009, 05:27 AM

First car: Crashing it...3 times. Rushing it out of a body shop and rolling around with primered fenders forever. Pulling the rear fenders WAYYYY too much.

Second car: Parking it on a corner...

RIP.

Third car: Buying someone else's decommissioned curse, and making it my own.

Couldn't have said it better myself

-I baught a set of Ebay "pillow ball" RUCA's....later felt clunking and a loose rear end. Upon further inspection and removal the arm fell to pieces in my hands....switched to quality rubber mounts in a fancy set of arms.

-I baught an INJEN intake back in 99', just to fit in, for $350 (with the "cold air extention").....By far the WORST investment I have ever made.

-I decided to street race on the I95 and blew a tire doing 105mph....RIP Red 240 (2001)

Live and learn...
