I signed up for this place a long time ago, just never posted and thought I'd give it a go. here are some pics of my ride. I'll post a mod list later, just too lazy as its 330am right now.

I just got my diploma in commerce & busn admin in college and going to take a marketing program next year (i think). Currently working as a server in a restaurant (lookin' for a 2nd job to help the cause). Livin up in Vancouver, B.C.... anyone around here , holla.?

I no longer have the APR GT spoiler as I sold it to a local gas jockey at the esso station... I'm going with no spoiler for a while until I can save up for a c/f one.

Also I switched around my rims. So they aren't exactly like the picture. I now have 17x8 +12 5bolt Buddy Club P1 racing rims in titanium silver up front matched with 215/45/17 Yokohama AVS ES100 tires. And up the rear i have 17x8.5 +25 DT-05R rims in gunmetal (identical to TE37 but cast, not forged) matched with 235/40/17 Yokohama AVS ES100 tires.


Currently looking for to be done by late march:
Sparco Torino seats (if any one has a set pm me)
180sx Tailights
Silvania HID headlight conversion.

Lemme know you guys' thoughts.

whats up bro nice start on your car, and good call on gettin rid of the wing but over all nice look inside and out would like to see the mod list as soon as you get a chance and do you drift as your name suggests? just a question cause some would use something like that cause they think it cool and not based on their love or intrest in driftin, but anyway like i said nice car

b-e-a-utiful car man.

i personally like the apr spoiler, though a good wet carbon fiber one would replace it nicely.

it looks clean

nice car

i would get the cwest GT wing,

it DOES HELP puting the rear wheels down on the ground at high speeds

I like everything about it, except the huge freaking club in the backend haha I'm not a big subs and amps person, I say buy some nice 3 or 4 way speakers, 2 in front and 2 in back and svae all the added weight of subs and amps and boxes... but hey if your car looks that nice and as long as it can decently back it up on the track, then go for it if that what your into... as long as it doesn't rattle... everytime I hear that I wanna shoot the person

Suislide
01-14-2004, 05:47 PM
M-Sports bumper is teh sex...

nicely done, and good on you for tossing the wing.

i like subs, but i'm only going to put one in my car as long as it's easy to remove before a drift event. i can't drive without music.

Soyo
01-14-2004, 06:11 PM
yea music is a must, but I listen to rock/punk/alternative or whatever you feel like calling it... so the extra bass from a sub doesn't really fit the style of music, that makes sense I hope haha

EVERYONE GO BUY THE "TAKING BACK SUNDAY" CD!!! :P

taking back sunday = one of my top 5 favourite bands.

i'm a screamo fan. bass does help in that category, but not as much bass as rap or any of that shit needs.

and WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? don't tell people to go buy the TBS CD...we don't want them to become over-exploited and turn into Good Charlotte now, do we? :nono: :lol2:

stealthj
01-14-2004, 06:32 PM
off topic, what is it with rappers these days rapping about money and bling bling and 24's??

what happeend to the goold ol days when style and flow were a factor??

:)

Soyo
01-14-2004, 06:47 PM
hey good charlotte is still pretty good... I used to be pissed when bands got publicity and were all over tv and the radio... then I decided I'd do the same thing, I mean why not take the money? its so much, I could buy like 12 cars and still afford a mansion... although I wouldn't get a huge house, I hate big houses, the kitchen is always too far away from wherever your at... my garage would be as big as my house probably haha

but hey, let TBS get all the money in the world, they are amazing, everyone should be blessed enough to hear there music :)

the best way to not car if bands get over-exploited is to not listen to the radio or watch MTV... just listen to your cds and watch ESPN haha



but again... nice car dude!(keeps this post on topic hehe)

hahah good luck man. i remember when i thought that afi and the used would NEVER go mainstream, i would have bet my life on it. it happens to the best. kind of like the 240, people are bound to discover how awesome it is someday, and then they will start talking to their idiot friends, and they will start talk to THEIR idiot friends.... :disappoin

01-14-2004, 11:34 PM
I don't see why people let other people spoil what they like... all kinds of punk bands have gone mainstream, I still love them, I don't care who listens to them as long as I still can :P

yeah it doesnt matter how big a punk band gets i will still listen to them and they dont all get greedy like blink182 their last tour tickets where only $1 afi, gc, mest, new found glory, sum41, taking back sunday, jimmy eat world, dashboard, are all great bands. there are way to many to list but there all play great music it about the music not how big they are or how much money they make, oh and just my opinion all that rap is crap they talk about pointless stuff that they dont even do themseves theyre just kids greedy greedy kids but just my opinion. and still looking for your mod list when you get a chance

The subs dont realy weigh that much, i folded down the middle seats and put them their on mine. I have daul 500watt mtx subs with 2 speakers on the sides, and a thousand watt amp. I listen to all different kinds of music, everything sounded better with my setup. Even when i listened to Blue oyster cult the music was so clear and no bass when there wasnt any.


BTW i hate taking back sunday, anyone listen to Mindless Self Indulgence or ICP?

CUrious, any of you guys going to be going to the '04 240sx Convention in Vegas?

I was at the '02 convention in SoCal... the only car from Canada, proud. haha.. Anyways. I'm already all signed up and pre paid for the trip this August..

hey hey now, afi is not garbage lyrics. but yeah i grew out of emo i guess, it is kinda whiney. i can listen to it at times though. blink is idiocy at its finest form, unless you compare them to icp. ugh. if youre looking for deep lyrics, listen to atreyu.

180 drifto- i wanna go to the convention in vegas, but i dont know if time will allow it. i will try my best to make it there, but it depends on if i get the beast running in time.

Suislide
01-15-2004, 04:05 PM
alright alright. i know i was sort of the one who started it, but let's cut out the music discussion now and keep it on topic.

180 - man that's too much ICE in my opinion...the only extras my car will have will be a single sub in a removable box, and maybe some nicer components, but that's it. no screens or shit cause i want to save as much weight as possible.

btw, when's the '04 Conv.?

ok say what you want about music, everyone has preferences... but if you want real, raw talent, listen to some 'Dashboard Confessional', that guy is AMAZING at the least, he can play anything, sing anything, plus the chics love him.

I might have to come down to that convention with my cousin, he would probably be interested in that.

sorry brian, last music post :P

01-15-2004, 08:39 PM
nice clean car man...glad you lost the spoiler, i thought it was waaaayyyy too big...hope your next one isnt that gawdy. all i have for my system is a walmart amp, a rockford fosgate sub, and a radioshaq sub (POS its leaving ASAP) ill prolly just get another sub on ebay... but first, $$$$, i work at a grocery store so i have no cash

hey 180drifto, i really like your. it looks awesome. bust i just wanted to know if your 240sx was a s13 or s14 and if it was a fastback or coupe. yes yes these are very newb questions but i was just curious

zdude
01-17-2004, 11:29 AM
fastback...im thinking s13, not sure tho, i dont really know the different types real well, but it is obviously a fastback, the back window on the coupe goes down really steep, and the fastback is really level, fast back has a hatch, coupe has a trunk

fastback...im thinking s13, not sure tho, i dont really know the different types real well, but it is obviously a fastback, the back window on the coupe goes down really steep, and the fastback is really level, fast back has a hatch, coupe has a trunk

Hey zdude, this may be a little off-topic but how about posting some pics of your girlfriends big boobs....hahaha.

01-17-2004, 01:03 PM
how about, for my eyes only, and your brain to dream about...
NO...maybe my EX girlfriends tho, they were pretty nice...shes a slut so

no need for apologies, but if you have a personal request for someone in the future that doesn't relate to the topic at hand, then simply shoot them a PM and it'll work out alot easier.

02-22-2004, 01:17 AM
the quality is great, altho i curbed one of my sideskirts and its a little cracked =(

fitment... the rear bumper was a little rough to put on because its meant for the rear wide body fenders. so i the shop needed a little custom work...
