Arrow My New Wheels.

well, since everyone else is showing off their newly purchased vehicles, i thought i may as well too. i already posted this in the 240SX forum, but i know all of you don't frequent that particular forum, so i thought i'd post it here as well.

so here she is, in all her glory.


you can see the rust under the door. it's all surface, so easily repairable.


*yawn* i'm sleepy...


here's lookin' at ya.


Wakaba...


I'M AWAKE!!!


on stands in my garage...fucking clutch...


sexy ass...with obligatory hatch rust from fucking OEM foam spoiler...


the only dent on the car...from a prior fight with a Pontiac Sunfire. cocky J-Bodies...


the interior. note the ultra-rare OEM 240SX floor-mats.


interior cont'd. note lack of any type of bolster damage to driver's seat (first time i've ever seen an S13 without it).


the E.


so there she is guys. for $1000, i think i got a pretty damn good deal.

only problem so far happened pretty quick. on the way home from buying her, my clutch gave out on me and the car wouldn't move. i had to spend $75 extra to tow it home. turns out it's not the clutch that gave out, nor the clutch cylinder (both are brand new) but we're suspecting that the lines might be leaking fluid. we bled most of the system, and there was indeed some air in it, but unfortunatley the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder snapped off, so we're going to buy a new one and figure out a way to pull the old one out.

there also seems to be a slight fuel leak from the tank. it's looking like it'll need to be replaced, unless it's just a leak from one of the hoses leading up to the tank...but i need to get the car moving first, and get it to my friends shop so i can get it up on the hoist and see for sure.

also on the agenda for the X-Mas break are:

-buy new driver's side window motor and install (original is burnt out. window is being held up by a rubber door stop jammed in between the window and door)
-spray paint wheels flat black.
-strip everything behind front seats. check for rust spots, and spray entire floor with rubberized paint.
-find a head-unit of some sort and install.
-buy new fuse so that the left headlight will go down (it goes up, but not down)
-installation of sleepy-eye switch

already done:
-removal of y-pipe
-cutting of air-box

i'll keep you guys updated!

Nice ride!

Looks similar to the one I'm currently thinking of buying, except it already has an SR20DET in it and costs a pretty penny more...

Again, nice ride and good find =]

Re: My New Wheels.

Yummy! Gotta love the (Insert 3 digit number here)SX liftbacks, certainly a lot better looking than the mudane (If fast) Silvia Coupe variant..........I'm guessing that lovely truck engine won't be in there too long- replaced by an SR20DET when insurance will allow (I crave an NZ-New* 200SX liftback but will no way get insurance) but nice purchase- now fix the damn thing


* I say NZ new because I refuse to touch anything that comes second hand from Japan, unless it's a damned good car (And I'm talking GTR, Supra TT, BMW etc........)
