Re: My RHD 240 Build Thread
so i picked up the car yesterday finally thanks to fransisco's help with his truck/trailor.
here it is waiting for fransisco to get there.
got it to my storage unit, started cleaning it out... all the crap was in the car, it was fun pulling out...
i noticed that my RHD dash sucks and has stupid gauge holes in it and a big hole in the middle, maybe fiberglass will fix it? i dunno, ill prolly just try to get a new one for cheap or if i have to ill cut a piece out of a dash at a junkyard and fiberglass it in and try to make it look good.
here's some of the crap that came out.
in progress of getting it all out so i can get the shop vac and clean up some.
and here it is empty.. still dirty but im going to prolly end up stitch welding the whole car and making it nice in there.
all that work was done in about 2 hours or so, just pulling it all out.. next comes the cleaning of the firewall and prep for paint. thank god that Dreamworks originally did the body work on this car so the body is perfect and the primer they used was nice and thick so i can block it all down nicely.
The car came with almost brand new carbon fenders that will be up for sale soon. pics to come as well, im selling them to buy 180sx tail lights, also the silvia steering wheel if its worth anything. lol.
more to come later.

Re: My RHD 240 Build Thread
I am not saying they are the best coilover in the world
Just a lot better then d2 and Megan
I don't know anything about godspeed and I heard stance's are relatively good
But yeah fortunes don't compare to d2's or megans
Jus sayin
