OK this is it!!! EXHAUST/HEADER/HUBS/WHEELS

[GT500916]

Ok boys and girls the time has come...

the hubs should be at my house in a couple of hours according to UPS tracking its out for delivery...SO right now ill go take off my stock hubs, paint my calipers , change my shoes pads, and be ready to put tha hubs on when they come....drilled and slotted would look nice on the front, and ofcourse put the painted wheels on the front, so it will FINALLY match the rears!!

Meanwhile while waiting for the hubs, i will put my shiny new header on, put the cat pipe on, put the 5zigen exhaust on

Also the nismo tranny mount.. almost forgot about that thing lol..

Once im done i then have to go to work at 4pm then come home and go back to work at 4am, haha pulling a little double shift... so i wont be able to post the sound or even a video of my car on here, but i will try and do so sometime tomorrow so please be patient, as i myself cant wait to hear it as well

ok ok!! i must get going i have to get this done before work... wish me luck!! woohoo...

[Hit_N_Run-player]

4 to 4 am? Sound like a cool job....oh, and good luck! lol

[D-Bo]

best of luck.. i can FEEL the excitement

[GT500916]

haha not 4-4am lol... its a part ime job, at this airport for UPS, i usually work from 4-7 , but around holidays we get a lot of stuff so they ask to work more hours and i always agree cause i can use the money, then i go at 4am and work till about 7am possibly even 8 sometimes we work till 10 am...

anyhow... i just got the exhaust header and cat pipe on looks nice
im gonna paint calipers now that it warmed up , and while they dry ill have to run to home depot and buy this nut thingy... so im gonna go eat and hopefully finish by 4!! im pushing it...

ohh and does anyone know the socket size for the front hub bolts? i used a 36 for the rears but its to big for the front, so im guessing like a 34? any idea?

[GT500916]

mission complete... off to work... story time later tonight

here is a few picture i got to take before i went off to work, i didnt get any good ones because i was still working on it, but i drove it to work and ren into a few problems. First i have an exhaust leak in 2 places... one is where the header is connected to the cat pipe... and the second one is where the axle pipe is connected to the muffle pipe, there is no gasket there at all, i didnt have one... so ill have to find one possibly tomorrow, unless everything is closed haha...

I will not do the video or sound files like i promised tomorrow because it sounds crappy with the exhaust leak, just sounds like a rusted out exhaust with holes in it hahaha... ill take care of it, i was thinking of using high temperature gasket maker, but those can only hold up to so much heat... and exhaust gets pretty hot...

Ill work on the leaks tomorrow and see what i can do, and ill take a few pic of the car being all coplete and on the ground... hope you guys like and enjoyes the progress...

That exhaust looks pretty badass peeking out the back, all you need now is some foot wide meats. lol And what do you have on your car that's from AEM?

yes those will be coming tomorrow hopefully, i didnt get a chance to take any pics of the finished project because i was to busy sleeping all day haha... sorry i had to work till 7:30am so i came home and crashed...

so friday i will try and get some pics.

i was also thinking on painting my exhaust simi black, so it wont stand out as much for the cops, cops here in Cali like pulling over cars they think might be modified...

[GT500916]

OK i got a few pics of the finished project, the car is pretty dirty from driving in the rain and crap, plus its pretty cold here in Cali and i dont feel like washing it cause its supposed to rain tomorrow or something... ill wash it when sun comes out again i promise!!!

You might have noticed i also replaced the antenna because my stock one is like 5 feet tall or something and it just looks ugly, this one kinda completes my car for now

I was thinking about lowering it but then again i think ill wait and get the side skirts from the 97 240 and see how it looks and then work from that.. Im just glad i got all this done for now, now all i have to do is fix the exhaust leak and im good to go!! then ill work on my Eleanor and save up some money to pay off some bills and then once thats done ill put more into the 240 ... why cant money grow on trees!!!

[logik23]

Looks pretty sick, with the black wheels it screams sleeper....to bad you got the foggy headlights going on...

[AWDSR20]

OMG sweet bro.... i so happy for u. now u know how it feel to own a 240!!! wish u teh best of luck and keep it clean!!

ps, man do i need to post pix of my car! (need teh damn digital camera!) (why i don't buy one, borow one ?? i don't know i keep forgting till i get on this forum!)

[GT500916]

hha get one of those disposable ones... i heard they have one when you are done you can actually connect it to your PC and transfer, check in target or something haha..

and about my headlights, actually they are not foggy inside or anything, if anything they are just dirty because i havent had a chance to clean my car, but im working on it... and even if they do get all foggy im going for the 97-98 front end anyways so ill probably sell those on ebay or something
