Hi All! I'm new here...   Posted Wed Oct 15, 03   4:08 PM     

Hi everybody! I'm new here, but not to the scene. Well, sorta new to the scene. I've been interested in moddifying cars since I was 14. I am 16 now. I don't have a car as of yet, but I may get a 240sx. My brother's friend is selling a '93. If I buy it, I'll definetely do the SR swap, s13 to s13, no hybrids for me. I've read alot the SR swap and have learned alot. I really like the power they make. The car I may buy is a coupe, so I'll probably do the silvia front end conversion also. If it was a fastback, I probably wouldn't. I don't particularly care for the sil-80 look. Anyway, I hope to have fun here!

Hey!

I love the 240SX's, great platform for a performance car, and an SR20 would be killer.

I'm thinking of getting a hatch and doing the 180SX Type X (Kouki) factory option body mods, (hella expensive). Not sure though, we'll see how it goes.

Anyways, welcome to the sight

this site attracts a lot of really young blood, although it's nice to see someone who's way young but not way retarded. Welcome to the site.

It's not a corrola, it's an s13 silvia. It's not my car, but I wish it was.

Here's a larger picture:

Bingo, major negative camber. Then again it's probably a drift car.

It's because of the angle and that the wheels are turned. Though it does look to have some negative camber, but the front pic looks like it has a ton. Here's a pic from the rear:

If I do get the 240 mentioned in my original post, that's the bodykit I want. For rims, I was thinking the Volk GT-U, in gold. Probably 18's.

Here's what the rims look like:

Skip the 18's and go with some light 17's. At least get an SR20 before you touch anything else
