picked this thing up the other day, from a friend.. It needs to be fitted better. Some cutting and welding but not bad. Oh and I got Tein Suspension on the way, the Superdrift...

beater_240sx · 05-24-2005, 05:59 AM

Got the Tein Super Drift in the mail. I put them on yesterday. It was surprisingly easy to do, took me about 2 hours, with eating dinner and going to the store.

MY HOLE PATCHING JOB, its funny, haha. Temp fix.

I am bolting the cage in today...

They are so much stiffer, there is virtually no body roll now, the car is a completly different car now. They are a little bouncy but I can live.

Ha, my 240 looks just like that. Flat black fender and red body. Only difference is mine has a flat black headlight top too. So it looks like it has a black eye.

Nice coils. Definatly not hard to do on a 240. On my 00 Eclipse it was a BITCH!

Damn, you should look into fixing all that rust before spending more money on parts...

silviaz · 05-24-2005, 03:36 PM

wtf is that exaust ?

NI_YON_Zenki · 05-24-2005, 04:01 PM

UHH ohh. Not the SUPERDRIFTS.. man. this shit is rediculous. they're nothing more than the HE's with a Spotier name to em, and maybe a bit more kilograms to weight on the springs. Also, take pride in what it is that you are building, there are kats around this world who would kill you to have that damn car. Clean it up, truely enjoy it.

SpdElemts · 05-24-2005, 06:47 PM

lol nice exhaust hangers...the superdrifts look like nice coilovers tho.
edit...just looked at the pics again and wow you got alot of rust...fix them man

beater_240sx · 05-24-2005, 07:34 PM

I just put in the roll cage today. It fits nice. I am taking my time with this thing. I really wanted to get the HE's or the Sustec Pro DD's but they were a bit much. I like the Teins though. I agree that they are overpriced but Tein is Tein. I was going to put the car into the body shop to fix everything and paint it but I wanted to wait, actually drive it during the summer. Its not my daily driver so I can afford to have it go away during the winter. I made that exhaust. One of the hangers ripped off, I am getting a new on soon, prob a Apexi N1, or a Tanabe. It looks like a piece of shit but I would much rather make it handle good, and make it fast before I paint it and fix the body. But I am not in a hurry. Rome was not built in a day. When the car is in the body shop I am taking out the engine and I think I might put some forged rods and pistons in it, Headgasket, build the head. My friend put ITB on his SR, here is the pic. Built engine, built head,cage, fuel cell, power FC, I cant think of what else.

I lost my train of thought...

kings_blend · 05-24-2005, 08:43 PM

wow that looks awesome

FRpilot · 05-24-2005, 08:49 PM

is that a gtir quad throttle body plenum?

S13_SX · 05-24-2005, 08:57 PM

jesus christ, throw that exhaust in the garbage man.. I would have upgraded that before worrying about a cage.

eurosil80 · 05-24-2005, 09:05 PM

wow...that exhaust needs to go back on ur integra

JaeTea · 05-24-2005, 09:22 PM

bass ackwards

*NemeGuero* · 05-24-2005, 09:34 PM

turbo ITBs... so sexy..

beater_240sx · 05-25-2005, 05:54 AM

That is a Gtir plenum. He had to cut it and weld it on backwards. It turned out good. then he powder coated it. The roll cage fell into my hands. A friend bought it and it didnt fit his car, he gave it to me. The exhaust is ugly but it works for now, I will get a new one soon.

That black 240, is running about 25psi, it hauls ass! He blew it before when he changed the wastegate spring and it shot up to 40psi, it just blew the headgasket, HE put a cage in it, and made a badass hood for it. I wish I had more pics.

Eurosil: Back on my integra??? What do you mean?

silvia R · 05-25-2005, 09:02 AM
