still looking mint

Clean 240! The Mustang is also looking sexy af!

love the mustang

S13 is undergoing Surgery, mirrors and KA+T setup incoming!

I think my old engine can Support 15 psi withuot any rodnock he was in great a shape.

What are you planning for the SX David ?

Or are you still working on it. (Badum Tiss) 240 Joke Lame IK

yo, long time no see. In the meantime I bought a money pit to flip, an E46 M3. Yeah, I just bought this to flip the car. Bought for 9.200 with some crazy engine mod and coilovers. Plans are raising the car, smoother ECU remap (car is too agressive atm) and get some orange blinkers, I love those. No wheels, no brakes, I'll try to keep it OEM style.




As for the 240; the Engine is in with the manifolds and pipes, the Intercooler is missing. I scored an original Type-X front bumper, though I am fuggin broke to continue working on this, so this project comes to a little stop. I'll install what I got, but no ordering new parts. I bought some expensive and rare rims, though a delivery problem happened and I couldn't recieve them in time. Plans: Stock Taillights, other coilovers (The Tein Coilovers were faulty, I send them back to the shop, thanks for the easy shipping), actual painting of engine bay and front end (it is foliated atm), a front strutbar and tires for the rims I bought. I took off the muffler until I have the fitment sorted out.

one small step at a time...
I don't have a parts from japan overnight service, so things take longer than expected.

One day it will be finished... one day...

Those rims you bought will look great on your 240! And pretty nice M3, just keep it original if you wanna flip it.

Such an nice car i love way you are taking care of my old engine man

Don't you dare to change those wheels! They look so good with that colour. I would suggest Megan Racing street coilovers, we had them on a 180SX and it was still good to drive on the street, they're not that expensive either so it's a good choice.

Yup another infrequent update:
Finally got the M3 sold! I had it for quite the time now and I found a buyer paying me a good prize (Phantom, u stoopid for selling me such a car for only 9.2k :b ). An middle aged man wanted something fun and something older, he dislikes the new M3 Turbo Engine and the E9Xs V8. He was looking for E36s and E46s and gave me a call. I polished the car and got the interior cleaned professionally. He was surprised by the condition of the Vehicle, the SMG 2 transmission not showing any signs of wear, even though already having 70k miles. I prepped the car before by getting a smoother, almost factory like, tune by the local tuner shop, swapped the wheels for the one on my S13 (look how big they look, they are 17s! Now I know why I didn't like the wheel setup, they just look too big!). I was able to sell the OEM wheels for a decent prize ( 1.450 V$, with tires: *LINK* ), removed the spoiler lip that some non M3 freak wanted (50 V$) and added a lil carbon shark fin cover that I found cheap on ebay for 50 bucks ( *LINK* ). Buyer was really happy with the car, but didn't wanted to buy it rightaway since he looked after an E36 too. Luckily (for me) the car had brown cheese underneath so mine got chosen. I welded in a silencer in the almost straight pipe so it wouldn't be such a cop magnet (-50 V$). He loved the sound! Here are some pics before he picked it up. Managed to sell it for 13.500 V$ which is a super prize in my eyes.




Now to the 240: Back on OEM wheels (wheel whore problems), removed and sold Sideskirts (V$500: *LINK* ) because they were looking weird with the current wheel setup and misc stuff.
I wrapped the center light in black again, now featuring a sticker I got when buying the wheels. I dislike the fitment of it though, will probably remove it since I have no other way to put it on, sorry! I grabbed a Momo 350mil steering wheel for a good prize too, so I don't have to look at the 90s designed stock one (V$200: *LINK* ) . I repositioned the boost controller to the bottom left of the interior, it's just glued with tape because I don't want to drill into the dashboard. I am very picky about drilling holes into things lol. Got some misc stuff for the engine bay aswell like some aftermarket reservoirs, plastic will turn to sheit after almost 30 years.

Sold all my cars and moved to Europe (Germany). I wanted to start somewhere fresh, so the wind brought me here (real reason: invested no real time in old RP; wanted to make it closer to Real Life too). The whole trip and setting myself up here costed a batch of money, so I had around 12.000 V$ left for cars. Stress 'had', because I already bought the first car :^). Stock, one owner, a 1992 Nissan 200SX Turbo 16V. Costed me 6.880 V$, but gave the owner the 20 bucks to even it out. I don't really like uneven amounts of money, and the older gentleman was too nice, I didn't even haggle with the price. The car was super cared for, maintenance on schedule. The timing belt needs a change though, and an oil change. I don't care at all, this car has 72.584 Kilometers on it. On a 25 year old car. I don't plan on modifying the car too much, I want the mods to be reversable since the car is rising in price. Must-have mods are an oil cooler and a turbotimer. I'm searching for some pre-facelift rims aka teardrops because I just love the style of them. Plus pre-facelift turn signals (front), they're full orange and not two-parted. If anybody wants the old parts hit me up, I can sell em for cheap.

Other S13 here!
I owned Sil80 with SR20VE-T, she got blown head gasket.

# Jfernando1 :

We can trade directly. I can pull of the tires and just sent the rims and you sent them too.

# MrTomush :

headgaskets are an easy fix though, go and fix it ;-)
I thought about the engine in this. Either get a spare CA and forge it or a N/A SR20VE with carbs. Both would be super cool, but it costs a lot of money.

# Lagano :

S13 is luv, S13 is laif. Revertable mods =/= OEM, though OEM is best x)

Yes, it is a lot money for SR20VE with ITB's, but it is definitely worth it, I have driven Sleepy's S14 with that engine setup, and oh boy it's a blast ! Goodluck with your new car man, and if you need "overnight" parts form Japan just hit me up.. It would take 3 to 6 days if using priority mail, but the prices are high, for 20KG box it would charge around 200$.. But I guess you can find rare things here which would be worth it !

After driving the car for a while, I fell in love with the chassis. Again x)
Picked up the US-Spec front blinkers (they're not preface ones, that was my mistake) and a preface lip from a s-chassis forum member for a total of 350 bucks. Bought some teardrop wheels today, though need to wait for delivery and mount new tires. Started to remove the typical rust under the rear spoiler (heh, I lied about the car being rust free, but besides that it's really nothing!). I kinda like the rear spoiler, but I already filled the holes to repaint the rear hatch. I will stick the wiper on again and get a new logo, but this will do for now.
