New here!

[DeadDoc]

Well I am new here and currently have no car (wreck) :( Lookin at getting a manual 240sx 90-93 hatch. And I would rather talk here than IA about getting one.

What up Flip?

~Scott

[Cash]

Are you looking for a coupe or a fastback? I've got a friend selling a white coupe right now that has a really clean body. Welcome to 240atl btw.

[DeadDoc]

Rather the fastback and thanks!

[Joshua]

We're killing IA one by one... ;D

[DeadDoc]

heh.... never enjoyed most of the people there.... i dunno why? Maybe because they don't know how to talk????

MMMM damn my garlic smells good. SLow roasting some on the grill :cheers:

Flip got me over here when he said he was creating this place just never joined because I had a car that was running and driveable.
99 Honda Accord EX-V6 Coupe.

[Joshua]

[JDM Steve]

[flip]

Whats up Scott! Glad ya finally made it over here. Sounds like we've swayed you into the rwd world :). I know you'll love it... A 240 would be a great choice. Still sucks about your car tho. Ever get pics of the damage?

[Casey]

Yeah I saw that car on the forums.... here or ia.... I'd love to say I can pick that up but its all up to the folks..... Might have to aim lower at like 3-4k. s13 hatches have always a nice lil car. And I know what my bday present will be this year.... a car. Was hoping for some equipment for recording!

Neighbor has one... burnt orange... use to be on the ground. twin pipe single exhaust, gutted battery in the rear. Has had the car for a while now, probably at least 6 years.

WTF FLIP? I sent you them like the day of or day after or something! Anyways yeah if you have a good connection i have about 20 - 6mb photos online. www.extremedigitalzoom.net/car (http://240atlanta.com/forums/www.extremedigitalzoom.net/car) i wish someone didnt take edz... that shit takes too long to type.

[Cash]

are you still going to do lambo doors if you get a 240?

[DeadDoc]

Havent really decided what I will do with my next car. Depends on how it will look... I try to keep it stylish but still known as to what the car is.

[Cash]

Oh ok, I was just asking because I don't think I've ever seen lambo doors on a 240. I'm sure someone has done it before, but I've never seen it. That's one of those things that seems like a waste of money to me when there's more fun things to do to your car such as suspension and other performance modifications. We all take our own directions though. I'm not trying to sound like I'm looking down on anyone.

EDIT: I take that back about never seeing a 240sx w/ lambo doors. I forgot about this auction I saw on eBay the other day: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-240sx-silvia-w-Lambo-Doors_W0QQitemZ290112690615QQihZ019QQcategoryZ6396 QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Yeah I was workin on my car to be show and performance at the same time.... mostly performance then when get the chance do a few show.

EDIT:
Yeah dont think id do it on a 240... lol.

[expo]

hey man welcome S13 hatch FTW !!!!!!!

Haha, yea I thought it looked pretty funny too but I didn't wanna say anything if you thought it was cool. It seems like there's a lot more people that build 240's to drive, not to hard park and look pretty. I say, whatever people wanna do with their car is cool, but personally I just love to drive my car.

I'll keep my eye out for an S13 for you. If you're patient you can find some pretty good deals. I've had my S14 since I turned 16 in 2002, but last summer I picked up a flat black S13 with a silvia front end, coilovers, 5 lug swap, Z32 brakes, SR20, fmic, s14 seats, and a bunch of other extras for $5,000.

Niceness.... well wont be dealing with cars till at least end of may/june. And then its off to convince the rents about getting a RWD again! Started friving an Infinity M30 Coupe. RWD 3.0L :-) the car was dead more or less.... not worht fixing and we sold it which is when I got the Accord.

ooo thanks!

Edit:
whats it tape for a JDM Right Side Drive? ie guess Silvia?

[Cash]

You mean what does it take to do a right hand drive conversion? Your question was a little bit confusing, but if that's what you're asking, it's pretty easy to get the parts. A lot of people that buy front clips when they do their sr swap don't have the desire to do a RHD conversion, so they'll almost give you the left over clip just to haul it away. You have to do some cutting into the firewall too I believe. I've never done it before but I've read a few write ups. I'm sure you can find a write up for it if you search zilvia.net, freshalloy, or maybe even google.

heh yeah... just read that.... mmk no more coffee! and sadly bout time to go to work :-(

[JDM Steve]

i can do the conversion, its pretty easy since ive done them before. to get to the heart of it, how much of a rhd would u want? when i ask, i mean right down to the cowl and its wiper asym. if ur serious about having a conversion done let me know, we'll set something up. btw coffee is ur friend, well mine anyway haha.

Would depend on the cost of it as far as if i would and how much id convert it over.

EDIT:
Cocaine the energy drink is my friend! That stuff has a great pick me up to it.

[Casey]

haha that e-drink will make you sweat... like... from just drinking it... ><
its so crazy strong... neways yeah wiper rhd conversion... mmmmm

[DeadDoc]

heh... yeah if this is the car im going to get I will probably get the rhd coversion done.

Id also have to relearn stick because I havent driven it cept for 1 day and got nice at it...... you really have to to learn quick and well in order to parallel park on hill for the first time ever (back with learners permit in a civic). Needless to say I got great at parallel parking and have done it 3 times since then.

I have a few people willing to let me use their cars to relearn. :D

[JDM Steve]

[DeadDoc]

These signs arent hard... just at most 3 char and barcode... but there are 448 of them! and only making 1 copy of each! But the cost is worth it! :D It gave me my hours this week :D

And thanks flip for not editing the meta tags so I can access this at work :taunt: :toung: take that OMAX!

[JDM Steve]

You can buy a S14 for that much!

[DeadDoc]

$2.5k was put into a new brand new rebuilt (upgraded parts and all only thing that wasnt replaced was the shell) tranny only months ago. And this isnt my decision.

EDIT:

But I would have no problem being a photographer for you guys and when the cash comes in will still be looking at getting a 240. Just doesn't look like it will be for a little while.

[Slow Mo]

I'll still have mine prolly.. just let me know if your interested.. here is what it looks like
