here it is. 93 240sx se... 93 block, 97 head ka24de. 3 inch exhaust. lotsa suspension goodies. kit, crappy wheels. this is not a drift car. this is my daily driver.

my next couple of goals are some coilovers and a set of low offset wheels, 17"+ because of the kit.

thanks for all the responses so far. im really leaning towards some 18" wheels for this project. i figure since im not drifting it and im not really rough on the tires i can afford the extra cost of the 18's. plus i think its gonna set the kit off just right. im in the process of wrapping the dash and door panels in suede or something similar. and locating a good set of coilovers. thanks again for looking... peace.

sounds pretty aggressive for me.. keep in mind i daily drive this car. im thinking 18's at the most.. and id probably run a 10 inch tire at the most as well.. and only in the rear. I do want to run a different kind of exhaust, but not blast pipes. im thinking about just running another resonator to improve the tone.. its a lil loud and raspy because of the three inch...

i'll be sure to post up new pics on the dash when its done. heres some pics of whats gooing on so far.

another pic of the dash before, this one shows the cracks better.

notorious problem with 240's... we have cracks. anyways, heres the progress so far.

i sanded down the cracks till the edges were level then filled them with bondo hair (bondo with fiberglass in it)

thats all i have so far... the cracks are all filled and im just deciding what to cover it with. its between black suede or leather. either way, nice.

thanks for the comments. i appreciate the feedback.:goodjob:
