I Finally Got One!!!
I Finally Got One!!!
I've been wanting to get a 240 for a couple years now, and came very, VERY close about a year ago to buying one (it was auto, just couldn't bring myself to do it).
But FINALLY, I have my baby
From Mazda MX-6 LS, to BMW 3-Series, and now to S13. Couldn't be happier!
Ok, enough blabbing, on to the pics:








Within the next week, it'll be lowered on some Megan Racing springs, strapped with a XAT Racing catback exhaust, and have most of the new interior in (headunit, front & rear seats, carpet, floormats). But before any of that can go down, it needs to be able to drive properly (nasty powersteering leak, need to make a trip to the salvage yard).

loks good, very clean, although i have never heard of XAT, and i would skip the springs and get coilovers if you plan on participating in any kind of motorsport, just because the majority of people regret getting springs and wish they boguht coilovers...i dont know what you plan on using this car for...just sharing some statistics
Yea, the body is in really good condition, the paint is fading on the back, a respray is in the plans for a little down the road.
As far as the coilovers, I'm not planning on Auto-X or any real competitions. It's my DD, so for now, the springs will do. I'm sure later-on down the road I'll end up with a nice coilover setup.
And of course, theres always snags in the road. After paying for this months car insurance, the loan, the taxes, a new tag, ect. I'm pretty much broke. Don't even know when I'll have a chance to get the windows tinted lol

I just got a coupe too, same color, and the body has dings all over, I wish I had one as clean as yours. I wish I could find one here in SoCal without ANY body damage, man, its like looking for a needle in a haystack!

WRONG,
#1 TRUE you do not need an exhaust unless the stock exhaust broke off.
#2 FALSE MEGAN COILOVERS ARE NOT WORTH IT, Get KPL coilovers (www.splparts.com) about 200 bucks more, also about 200xbetter
#3 I like the brown interior, clean it and it will look good.
#4 screw what anyone says do your own steez.

Haha @ #4
Don't worry, I plan on doing it the way I wanna do it, not what other people say.
Hey, how about YOU get another job and pay for MINE
(I'm a fulltime student in college and work fulltime as a sushi chef. I get about an hour of free time a day, 6 days a week, and one day off from both.)

Look at your car.
Megans are worth it for the price. SPL,Stance, D-Drug is all the same **** made in taiwan.
If you really want the good **** then you buy tanabe or zeal.
Brown interior looks like ***.
You dont remember me do you?
I do remember you levi.brown interior is vip style. megans are not worth it.. well their street ones are but tracks are not.
and what isnt made in taiwan? it desont matter where there parts are made. the SPL parts coilovers are made in ISO9005 factories so its good quality stuff. There are lots of parts manufactures that do not have factories in taiwan and still produce crap.
i didn't know my post count, counted for something. If it amounts for anything I have been on this forum 1 year and 2 months befor you have officaly, not counting the time befor i had a 240 and was just reading posts. Go back on zilvia with this N.W.A heat.
