Death is too good for something like that.

I think I'm gonna be sick...

Man, every time I see that thing I want to smack the crap outta who ever owns that car.

Omfg!

..............

WTF???!!!

that is the ugliest piece of shit ive ever seen

euro rice=ass

it wouldn't be soo bad if the body didn't look so cheap. That body kit just looks chincy......

i like the rear.... but since its mimicing challenge stradale... its not cool

i like the rear.... but since its mimicing challenge stradale... its not cool


Yea, if Ferrai never existed it wouldn't be so bad.

what a waste....such a waste.....

id beat him down and steal his rims and CA..

id probably take the seats....

true, as long as they arent knockoff brides..

dude, where can i buy one, that has to be one of the coolest things ive ever seen. period.

true, as long as they arent knockoff brides..

yea lol well in that case ill just take the sterring wheel and the front clear blinkers (most expensive part of the car).

ok well lets get a bit more serious so how much would it cost for that whole bodykit?? a good 10k usd in aus that would be cheap for this kinda project.... so lets say 10k usd thats a good suspension kit good exhaust system (including headers and cat) air intake system and a good ecu, now who here would rather the kit or the mods???

10K usd would get me a built KA-t, and extra's...

10k US is good rims, good tires, good coilovers and a decent turbo setup, SR or KA.

10 k is a mean f'ing bitch of a setup. Well a decently modded 240 i would have to say. But you all know you want to spend more!!! i say IDEALY 25k would finish my bitch totally. Rough estimation, rounded off.

25k... damn man mine would be around 60k for a racing car for street about 45k for drift about 25k

25k is alot of damn shit!! i figure 10 in the engine would definantly suit my needs. 10 is suspension would be more than enough. the other 5 would be for random shit, brakes,lighter body panels (hood,seats, and what not). Basically body work stuff i would only pay for cost of part, the body work would be free.........

thats all rough estimation though....im sure its over shot somewhere.....60k in my 240??? bwhahahah just buy a gtr when it gets here.

if it costs you that much, you need to learn to spend money better, or do more work yourself...

What you've guys never seen a JDM Ferrari? You need to get out more.

I could spend 6k in brakes alone. 8pot front with 6pot rear...ohhh baby.

wtf for?? over kill.

:1:


$15k would have me sittin pretty with other crap I wouldn't need.

In my current situation
$6800 for an S14, fully custom footwork
$4500 KA-T
that's only $11300, guess the rest would go to building up the KA. You guys won't believe this car when I finally get it...

wtf for?? over kill.

lol, ya, maybe for an S13, but if I had a G35 coupe, I'd get that, then put the G25 brakes on the S13, haha.

one of my mates has got a r32 gtr and he has spent 40k on the engine and hes spent a total of around 45k he runs 9.9 1/4 mile

idk how the australian currency works, but how do you spend 40k on just the engine, i could thing of everypossible thing to do to just an 'engine' and still not come up with that. That would include the best of everything....

and how do you spend that much, and only spend 5 grand on the rest of the car? Smells like BS to me..

he takes it to a high performance mechanic he doesnt do it himself hes body and interior is stock just rims and suspension, well lets make an estimation, 10000 on gearbox (sent it to japan for a full dogbox rebuild), 2500, for exhaust (3'), 8000 for shaved heads forged pistons conrods, 1250 for metal head gasket 1500 for injectors, 300 for air intake, 5000 for ecu and dyno tuning it, 4000 on intercooler, 10000 on tubo setup.

theres 42550 and thats all i can think of at the moment.

****NOTE****
all the prices are installed by high performance mechanic not himself, i dont know how much it is in the us for that stuff but in aus that wouldnt be exaturating.

40000AUS=29000USD, still way more than what it should have been. Thats 1,800$USD for just 3" exhaust? About 5,000USD for the block work and headwork, not as bad as paying 1,800 for exhaust, but still WAY too much. 1,000USD for just a metal headgasket? WTF? Are there even cars in australia? How can you get ripped off that bad, are parts really that rare? 3000USD for an intercooler? damn, you must be trying to BS us here or you guys in AUS are all getting ripped off hardcore. Either that or your economy is just that much different (last idea i got for all the bad prices, im just reachin now).

i dont think you read my ****note**** let me refraise that prices include installation.

a 3'' exhaust only costs about 5-600$, he payed 1200$ to have it installed? 1,000$ for a metal headgasket you can get for 150$, thats 850$ to install it? Shit i could explain to my sister what an exhaust was and she could probably get under there and do it (i didnt say that becuase shes a girl, but because shes a braindead idiot). Now 5,000 for parts+machine work+installation doesnt sound too bad on the head and block. Off the top of my head id have to guess those injectors were 1100$USD for parts and install, that is a horrible price depending on what injectors he got...Its his car, i wouldnt ever want to tell others how to spend there money and everything, but those just sound like hes getting hardcore ripped of..

Parts for Skylines are more expensive then parts for KAs, especially name brand stuff. It's easy to spend that much on a Skyline, I just don't believe that his "friend" actually did, or even has a Skyline.

yeah, but in australia they are rolling around everywhere, i dont see how they could be more than KA parts..

Alright back to the JDM Ferrari ROFL, I agree the back looks good, and if you just had a normal, so-so front it wouldn't be so bad. Who doesn't want a car with a big ass?

Ok porsche 911's are exceptions to the rule

I wouldn't spend 20k on my s13 i'd buy a new car. You gotta think practically sometimes, you know? Then again I've never modified a car before to that extent.

1,000$ for a metal headgasket you can get for 150$, thats 850$ to install it?
WTF ????? $150 for a metal headgasket???? over in aus they range from 600- 900!!!! man i wanna move to america 180's go for 2k over here the cheapest would be 8k...

aren't your dollars worth like half what ours are?
still, those prices are crazy.
what engine would you get stock for that $8k?
an SR or CA, a turbo maybe? in that case it might be worth it.

and back to that ferrari body kit :loser:

oh, damn, i just looked at it again :cwm27:

not half its about 73cent for every aus dolloar or sumfin like that.

u will get a ca18det about 12k for an sr20det

i can find you some 3 inch cat-backs that cost more than 1 grand for our 240's. some of those prices are wack, but some are around right. 850 to put on a headgasket.....go to any local shop and see what they charge you!! Labor cost adds up bro. 600 on exhaust is your average run of the mill exhaust. Like a apex dual an what not.......titanium is all the difference in cash bro. Which im sure he may have.

wtf, i said bro twice. i never say that.

This may be a generalization but buying labor is for people that don't know about cars. You only send your car away when you can't fix it yourself, any other time, if you want to install new brakes or exhaust you'll get ripped off.

ripped off why, because you have to PAY for there labor. Kind of like me getting ripped off on my jack in the box because i have to pay your salary. we all know 2 taco's cost less than a dollar. Thats how shit works. If you cant do it, then you have to pay. Everyone learns that from common sense. Hmmmm do i go out and re-shingle my house today, or pay someone to do it?? ANYTHING is cheaper if you do it yourself, thats common sense.

I don't think you're getting it, putting on brakes and exhaust is easy so why pay someone else to do it? That's the point i'm makin. Plus some garages take advantage and charge you more than the part costs to install it. Can't say for sure since I don't keep receipts from the days I didn't know about cars :iceslolan

Edit, tools cost money also, i forgot about that

i think prices in aus are VERY VERY different than in the us...

not half its about 73cent for every aus dolloar or sumfin like that.

u will get a ca18det about 12k for an sr20det

well, after you figure the exchange rate in, (.73*8k=$5840 for a ca18det or .73*12k=$8760 for an sr20det) that really isnt bad when you consider what it would cost to buy the car, import the engine or clip to the US, put that together, and make it street legal here in the states. i don't know 240 prices that well, but it doesn't seem like you have it too bad.

you guys can talk about paying installation and all, but i would have used that money to pay someone else and took some college classes if you cant learn on your own about automotive mechanics...Youd think that if someone was running a 9.9 they could put on an exhaust on there own...and yes you can get a 3" exhaust for your car for what i priced, call up a muffler/exhaust shop and get an estimate for full 3" bent..

bro were talkin gtr and quality prices not local muffler (poor quality).....

And 240s are much much cleaner over there (rust/rot wise). Well better then the ones in snowy weather here.

And over here headgaskets from name brand companies are like 200-300$US. 272-409$AUS.

yea ive seen 180sx's selling that say rust and all that over here you NEVER hear of that a 15 yo car has rust.
Man headgaskets are cheap over there what about copper head gaskets? how much are they?? and normal??

bro were talkin gtr and quality prices not local muffler (poor quality).....

well 'bro', exhaust piping is exhaust piping on any fuckin car. It doesnt matter if its a topaz or a supra; ID, thickness, and material is what you should be paying high price for, not the car its going on. Quality is quality, go to a quality shop then. If he has this 'gtr' running nines he should be able to install alot of that stuff himself...

Maybe you guys just dont see the point im looking at, but i grew up with my father, and his father, and my great uncle were all mechanics. The only thing i ever go to a shop to do is tires rotated, steering aligned, and machine work (but even there i send it to a good friend of mine at a place called eastco who hooks me up). All you need is to be mechanically inclined and have the rights tools (that is the costly part, 700$ for my USED snapon topbox, and the snapon bottom box i got from my dad for 400$ a while ago). Sorry guys, im tired of arguining about it, but its just the way i look at it verse the way you look it...

well 1 last thing some people hate working on cars ever think of that??? everyones not like most of us at af....

how could you hate working on cars, and have a full race 9 second car...saying that you hate working on cars with that is just hypocritical...and it isnt "well he only likes to drive em" because it takes lots of hard work to get that fast, its not just simple bolt ons an your there....it takes dedication, lots of time, money, and work.

why dont you just get some pics of this car? and all the specs, maybe a timeslip?

I like the car...from the side i think its tight....but from the front its kinda ugly... makes me proud to ahve a stock body though...

well 1 last thing some people hate working on cars ever think of that??? everyones not like most of us at af....


your buddy with a nine second car built by someone else gets less respect from me than the guy in the technical section putting altezzas on his s13. At least hes tryin to do the work himself. When u have other ppl do a bit of work on your car or help with your work a little, its okay, but when they build a $20,000+ car for you, its not your car. You have the title, but in the end, someone else did the work, the tuning, the thinking.

There is a guy locally with a 400+ HP sr20det s13, silvia conversion, ball bearing turbo, blah blah blah. If i bought his car tommorow, no one would ever think of it as mine. Sure i have a 400HP car but i didnt put an ounce of work into it. Until i did some major upgrades(not that theres much he can do) it would still be his car. Ppl would ask me "hows Rob's 240?". In the world of tuners, the respect, or "street cred" as i seem to remember u sayin, goes to the builder, the one whos sweat blood and tears went into the car, not the one who bought it afterwards.

call the fast and the furious writers, they can put that quote in the upcoming movie... haha! Vin Diesel, Ja Rule, i would blow both them actors away! I think ill want a few JDM TyTe HoNdAs wth SR2315DET, or even better,

JdM tYtE Honduhhh powered 240s.. all the new fad..

check it out..!

uhmm actually that car's pretty hot.

wow-engine, coilovers, brakes, lsd, wheels, everything.

seen this S2000 on the racing board? http://videos.streetfire.net/Player.aspx?fileid=B98A765B-AE6B-4C36-92B3-88AD7020C61A&p=1

That S2000 didnt seem too fast.....Iunno if it was just me just didnt seem to be fast. And it could barely spin the tires....It did have 9" wide but....whatever.

You can't be serious. IF he wanted to spin the tires off the line he sure as hell could've done it. There's no reason to have excessive wheel spin off the line if you're tryin to get a good launch which it seems like he was trying to do. That car was pretty damned fast but shiet was it loud.....

ok that car looks like shit but it doesnt look so bad from the side view

i wouldnt drive a s2000 unless it had the mugen hardtop. i love them with that but dont really like the drop top. but that shit sounded nice.

Drop top + open air ITBs = no need for sound system

i wouldnt drive a honda period.














Unless nsx.

id take that s2000, probably a fun little car. Nice sound to it..

did he say if it was the 2.0L or the 2.2?
