I thank you kindly, sir. I'm considering lowering it a bit more. It drives so well right now I'm not sure I want to however.

Lowered the car another inch.

tb13 · 07-07-2016, 10:23 PM

Type X looks so good in red, love the build man

tuzzio · 07-08-2016, 08:08 AM

Gotta address the driver side rear valance fitment, can't be this fly and stuntin like that

OBEEWON · 07-08-2016, 11:23 AM

Type X might be the greatest of S-Chassis variations.

Already fixed it. Was being stubborn and needed more 3m tape!

beems240sx · 08-07-2016, 09:40 PM

Been busy working on my buddy's K Miata swap

ZERTA RACING · 08-08-2016, 01:28 PM

Makes me want to do a Type X... I wish I had funds to do it. Some day, some day.

beems240sx · 08-21-2016, 07:55 AM

Time to play let's see how long the KA lasts. Picked up a S15 GT28R dual bb with divided exhaust housing, stage 8 locking nuts, water and oil lines, dif clocking plate, and a sr20 cast manifold.

beems240sx · 11-29-2016, 04:56 PM

Finally got around to swapping in the VLSD I skimmed a while back.

beems240sx · 02-11-2017, 09:20 PM

Got the TE37's refinished. Not thrilled with the color. Going to have them redone in bronze

Malik · 02-11-2017, 10:43 PM

very nice.

rawgarage · 02-12-2017, 12:11 AM

Those valances OEM?

solo_ryder · 02-12-2017, 12:24 PM

Car looks great. Red really makes the type x pop, love it. I like the wheel color, its slightly different in a good way

I wish. I was in a hurry and couldn't find any good OEM. These are force werkz and they fit like dick.

beems240sx · 04-08-2017, 11:35 PM

Had the wheels redone again. Very very pleased with them now!

beems240sx · 04-25-2017, 03:07 PM

Finally had the windows tinted. I have no idea why I waited so long, what a huge difference. Mainly running the A/C it only needs to be on notch 1-2 instead of 3-4. Keeps the car so much cooler and looks better.

Stay tuned for boost.

tb13 · 04-25-2017, 03:12 PM

This thing is so clean, really digging the change to bronze on the TE's

justchrisyo · 04-25-2017, 03:25 PM

How's the differential holding up? I know you mentioned it was a VLSD, what was it out off?

It's probably the best diff I've ever had. It locks when you want it too and I guess I got the backlash perfect because it doesn't make any noise. I have no idea what it's originally out of actually.

Malik · 04-25-2017, 09:45 PM

type X is for winners

Neighbor decided to back their van into my car. I'm torn about what to do. Leaning towards overfenders at this point but not sure yet.

JrDarknes · 05-02-2017, 07:32 PM

God that sucks man =/. Yea I would try overfenders if its possible.

-kenny- · 05-02-2017, 08:05 PM

I would get it fix right. the car has clean body line goes well with OEM lines. I wouldn't go widebody but that just me

spooled240 · 05-02-2017, 08:28 PM

That sucks, but a competent body guy could pull that out and get it looking perfect again. Was it that white van across the street in your photos?

camshaft343 · 05-02-2017, 09:14 PM

What a great build thread. What an inspiration. My condolences on the rear. Overfenders!!! Just picked up a 93 coupe shell. Your thread is great. Hope to see her put back together soon
