you're 19.. i dont know how many years youve been around these cars but i have been around them for a very very long time. it takes more than bolt on parts to get my sack tingling and my jimmy jumping. bottom line, you dont hear me complaining in the toby broadfield thread............................. other than LS-swap aspect of it. (grin)

I respect that, it just came off to me as disrespect to me. I havent been around here long enough to know everyones personality :P (Zilvia noob FTW!)

Ive been around 240s for no more then a couple of years, if you were to mention all generations of RX7s and MR2s, then I feel I would be alot more 'guru' like/compitent. Just getting into a scene thats already play-ed out (Not drifting, just 240s).

Back on topic, no more thread robbing.

no one wants to see you slide the car. but jeez, even jay leno does a burn-out in almost all his videos. unless there's a cop hiding in every bush in michigan, find a back-road and give it some stick.

its just like when im driving on the freeway and i see a sportscar putting along in the slow lane... im not saying everyone should be speed-racer on the streets, but this isnt the rose parade either. people like seeing these cars driven. hit the canyons, strap a camera somewhere and hang your balls out a bit.

I enjoy this post, lol. I guess I exaggerated a bit in my post about not wanting to do anything "illegal." Don't get me wrong, I bury the speedo most mornings getting onto I-96 to head to work. Sure, I'll goose it in the left turn around some nights and kick the back end out a little when I am heading to the house. I think I even posted a lame picture of a burnout I did on a back road when I installed my 2-way:



I also managed to make it out to the drag strip last year- despite my terrible driving skills, I did pull off a 12.9 @ 114.

I guess all I am trying to say is the car gets driven a lot- and even abused once in a while. Only posting photos of it parked probably gives off the impression that I never drive it or enjoy it to its full potential- I'll have to get a video together for you guys sometime this summer.

In other news, my car was too low to get on the "race" alignment rack. The shop was kind enough to purchase some 1"x6" boards and we are going to take another crack at it next week.

I've been following your build from the start. IMHO..I couldn't give two sh!ts if you put a ton of parts and don't track or "drift" it. You built it up to where YOU want it to be and I like it.

To the naysayers or whatever...not every moddified 240 has to be used and abused.

[KiLLeR2001]

Damon, I'm the same way when it comes to the whole "anti-drift" outlook with these cars. I would never drift a car that I am clearly building as a streetable daily driver. If you want to drift, you build a drift car. Simple as that.

However, when I finalize my build I plan on hitting up various tracks and putting down some lap times. I suggest you do so as well!

cool street car bro.

I must have missed it, but how long did it take you to flare the fenders?

[cjmirabal1]

AMAZZZZINNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

[WacingWandy's240]

Wheels look super sweet.


But I have to be the first to ask....


What's next!?

I did it in an afternoon... probably 2 or 3 hours? I did the roll/pull about two and a half years ago, so I don't remember for sure. It shouldn't be too bad though if you take your time!

haha, I can't say there is a ton left to do. I do have some cool stuff arriving next week, including something that I have been looking for for a very long time. Pretty minor stuff though!

[CamryOnBronze]

OK, so minor update. I managed to make it to a meet this weekend for the first time in a while, so that was fun. It was the first time taking Tomei in the car- needless to say, the interior was completely trashed- so I spent most of the afternoon on Sunday vacuuming all of his fur out of the car.

My Cusco rear strut brace showed up late last week, so I tossed that on the car this weekend:





My wife and I took the car out to dinner on Monday, so I we snapped a few pics while we were out. I'd like to spend some time actually editing these at some point, but I just haven't had the time so far this week.











And lastly, my wife recorded some videos of me driving up and down the street, LOL. Obviously they are really boring and whatnot, but think of them as a teaser- I'll try to get one of the car actually doing a rip or something when Kyle is down here in about a week with his Go-Pro. I'm new to the whole You Tube thing, but here is my channel:

So that's about it for now.

Haha, "Hey what size tire is that?" sounds good, looking forward to something over 2K rpm, needs Miracle Cross Bar

I have one.

[MidwestMyriad]

As do I, Cusco is cool too, but MXB is the bees knees

[kyles1988]

Pretty sure Damon has been traveling the world for the last year trying to track one down. Shaking people down in dark alleys trying to get them to sell him one.

[wh0aitznic0]

^I got mine from a friend that drives an Integra. They actually pop up on Honda forums quite often and S13 hatch/DC2 Integra use the same mounting points.

[kyles1988]

I'd heard that, but never from anyone specifically I guess? So until this point I wasn't going to throw down 4 bills for something that the word on the street says fits the S13 Hatch. Now I'll keep an eye on Honda-Tech for one probably. Seems like they go a bit cheaper over there anyway. And sites like JDMland (ICB) still have them I think?

[**Adam**]

Such a clean hatch!

[wh0aitznic0]

When I actually have desire to work on my car, I'll let you know.

Too hot lol.

lol, basically. I can't believe I finally found one- especially for the price I did. Can't wait until it shows up...

[KiLLeR2001]

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, and I'm sure you already know but your 3rd brake light doesn't work.

how did i miss this post. i totally agree

[Pstl_pete]

I am REALLY contemplating getting some Volks for my car after seeing those photos. Im debating on those or the new ADVAN TCIII's.

I still think silver was the best choice you could have made on for the color combo!

[SaNTi]

Damn the car sounds awesome too. UNLEASH THE BEAST!

Thanks PT! I am happy with the color, too. You should score some for sure, haha. The new Advans would look really nice too though! Maybe you can get another set of wheels/tires for cruising and use the Enkeis for the track!

lol thanks man! I really love how the car sounds- I'll have to do more videos soon.

Hey is there room in the backseats
if you put a roll cage on, won't the backseats be of no use as it won't have room for people to sit? So why not just take out the backseats and put a seat cover to save like 20lbs? or something?

[MidwestMyriad]

You won't notice any performance difference with or with out backseat, other than noise differences. Plus roll cage and full interior is for bosses only.

The back seats weigh like 2 lbs homie.
