Kevin Edgar's SR powered S13 coupe *quality pics*
I always wanted a 240sx coupe and on the day after high school grad (6/19/11) I bought my dream car for $1,000 from my friends dad. It was everything I wanted, '93 black coupe, dual cam, 5 speed. It had a burnt clutch but that didn't stop me from taking it everywhere while the clutch was still able to grab. Clutch ended up giving out on me and I bought a ACT 6 Puck and installed it with helping hands through other forums.
This is how it looked when I first got it June 19, 2011 Like any early nineties car it had body damage but I still loved it. Also, at this time I was making minimum wage working at Togo's. I went for a leisurely cruise in the mountains and understeered into the side of the mountain just scratching the body a little, snapped tension rod, and bent lca. Next day went to Pick N Pull and was fixed. Since I didn't have money for real mods I did what any teenager would do. Fluorescent pink wheel, ebay coilovers, and a welded diff. Please excuse the ricerness. Then I had the stupidest idea to this day... plastidip... I don't even know why I did this. Looked like a sorry knock off of knight rider Then I left for the Air Force (Nov '11) and bought some stupid baby enkeis, m2 exhaust and my friend got me dmax tails. Then I had the dumb a stupid idea to buy a silvia front (truly regret it) Apr '12 Bought some PBM coilovers and maxxxxxed em out (not so fun on 15s but looked cool) Took my car to the skidpad and pretty much killed it, nobody believed it was my first time. Jun '12 Bought PBM links and went 5 lug Took off plastidip, got Z wheels and bricks. Put some spacers up front and took pics on base Took my car to the skidpad again and killed it Nov '12 Then I wanted to run a VH45, realized I was an idiot, sold it. Had my friend (Mike Yee) install a 3rd brake light Sold my Z wheels and got se's Spun a bearing Jan '13 and waited for my tax return to come in Bought a S13 SR + parts off my friend. Got a BN sports rep kit and 30mm origin fenders. Deployed and bought Advan AVS model t6 18x9 +22 18x10 +25, 326 power wing rep, 25 origin fenders, and ganadors. Got a good deal on a S14 SR w/t28 then sold my S13 SR. July '13 Prepped for pull (bought that '07 zx6r day after my deployment lol) KA out (trip to ER cause I cut my arm open, idk how, whoops) Installed ACT 6 Puck clutch and tomei manifold SR in, picked up aluminum motor mounts nearby Got some rubber for the wheels Fired up the car and to celebrate I mounted the stuff and took pics. Sep '13 First drive, then mounted wing and overs. Raised the car and got it aligned Wanted my car red so took it to maaco. Got the car back day before skidpad ( shakedown purpose ) event Playing with the Bee-r Me pretending I was in Japan lol Picked up a Bride seat with rails from a friend. Have a cage just waiting to install it. Build is not done but I guess it's turning out decent. Enjoy more updates to come! Last edited by KevinEdgar; 02-20-2014 at 01:17 PM.. |
