[PawnShopCEO]

your car is black... black = gangsta leave it black

[an0therh22]

just paint it flat black and call it a day haha. either that or paint it that brandy wine like in the pictures above.

[brads94accord]

that blue i think is bmw velvet blue , not sure...



what the hell is that supposed to mean? s13's should only have cheap paint jobs?

thats correct...i dont see the point in putting a $3000 paint job on a $1500 car...not a very good investment IMO

[Benefit]

your accord ia 1500$ car, on the other hand 2jz240sx's car is 14k+ car

[cactusEG]

go with the lambo green...

[2jz240sx]

lol i have 20k in that car...
if i put a $800 buck paint job that is disrespectful to my 240.

[GSRteg®]

No, as long as its someone you know doing the favor for $800 dollers.




lol i have 20k in that car...

[Benefit]

idk man that guy is an idiot

[2jz240sx]

what guy?

[PawnShopCEO]

mike and i can rattle can that bad boy in your apt complex for the low low

[Benefit]

what guy?

the guy that said 240's arent worth painting

[2jz240sx]

he prolly drives a honda...


jason( rattle can) you have a deal! fuck it im going with tan! tan spray paint!
BBBBBBAAADASSSSSSS

[auxiliary]

Ok....first off I know you put 20k into the car, but that doesn't make it worth 20k. Try selling it and see what you get....not that you would but I am just saying.

I know bryant with the 2j kouki couldn't get near 2k for his car...sure yours has some more motor stuff done, but just think about it....

A $3,000 paint job is hard to justify on really any car that's not a top of the line show car, a complete recolor of a newer car or what not. When I had my s13 I had a silvia front end on it and was looking forward to painting it midnight purple.

Kind of like the Skyline purple. I think that would look hot on a sil-80 converted 240.

But if you got the money, and you don't care about throwing it into a $1500 car then go ahead and paint that bitch with a $3000 paint job. --more power to ya.

[scionara]

I like the orange

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b341/Boomdog27/dd.jpg

[Benefit]

whos saying it HAS to be a 3000$ paint job,sheeit..i know sprayglo will do it for like 500 and it will still come out looking good

[brads94accord]

yeah I do drive a honda, no its not worth $1500 actually more like $4000 but im not trying to repaint my car. Dave actually fabbed the turbo setup on my car. I personally do not see the point in spending more money on your paintjob than the chassis of the car is worth. but if he were going to use a house of kolors paint, that stuff is expensive paint. I have painted a few cars myself.


its like putting granite countertops, marble floors, 6" base boards and 5" crown moulding in a $100k house. its not worth it because you will never be able to get that money out when you sell it.


i guess im just more concerned with getting a return on my investment which is why i like to keep my cars conservative.

[HalfBaked]

Seriously.

It is a 240. Painting it won't make it look better. You should use the money to get new wheels.

[2jz240sx]

whats your paypal so i can give you 200 bucks for some pistons,so you can get that pos sr runnin again!?

[Benefit]

if your feeling extra generous my paypal is........lol

but yeah i mean the paint you have on the car currently is fine...if it aint broke dont fix it!

[2jz240sx]

TIS TRUE
BUT I WANT A BODY KIT SO HAS TO BE PAINTED!

[Benefit]

origin , dont cheap out because it will have bad fitment and total nightmare...im trying to get a origin stream kit, check them out...

[2jz240sx]

YEAH THAT IS WHAT IM GETTING, GOING THROUGH BATLGROUND THAT IS WHO THEY DEAL WITH :)

[brads94accord]

matt actually just needs some motivation to work on it. the motor is finished and ready to go in the car sitting on an engine stand in my garage. now all we need is either a new steering rack, or some of the hardlines on the rack that got damaged when we pulled them motor.

[HalfBaked]

whats your paypal so i can give you 200 bucks for some pistons,so you can get that pos sr runnin again!?
lol, don't you think you should have your money so you can buy things like taste...

[2jz240sx]

haha, if i didnt have taste i would have bought an sr20 like everyone else and their grandma!

but its all good in the hood!

[HalfBaked]

haha, if i didnt have taste i would have bought an sr20 like everyone else and their grandma!

No...if you had taste you never would have bought a 240 in the 1st place.


2j 240s are the poor mans piece of shit supra.

[auxiliary]

2j 240s are the poor mans piece of shit supra.

thank god someone said it.

[2jz240sx]

haha i will eat supras all day long!

im sorry i dont wanna buy an overpriced heavy turd.
if you wanna pay 25-30k for an average lower mile supra stock be my guest!

and you can say what you want, when you have a better car than me, let me know!

[PawnShopCEO]

dave i dont think you need to justify the 240. the 240 is good for what you want out of it... a FAST DD. is it the first car you would buy as far as appearance? probably not. But its lightweight and you can put a 2j in it. If you run that bitch into a tree... you buy another one for 1500$ and pile all your motor into it.. if you run a mkIV supra into a tree you are in the hole a good 30 grand. just my 2 cents. You're 240 is perfect for what you want out of it

[Vteckidd]

^^^^^^^ thats what the 2J 240s cater too.

[PawnShopCEO]

^^^^^^^ thats what the 2J 240s cater too.


do you know any shops that do such a swap?

[Vteckidd]
