NICE JOB. Your car looks hot man!!!
R U rubbin’?

I’m not a fan of the spoiler but I think that two-tone (blue/purple) 240sx is NICE. Is that an intake air hole in the left headlight?

I don't think he meant the Sylvia. He was asking about the purple Skyline in the pics.

No I did not upgrade the rear brakes.They only perform 20% of braking.

It's not worth the investment,unless you like to add weight to the car

and look good.

those rims look a lot like my 6MT accord's rims. Why do they put the screws in each of the spokes? o_O

guys,

when you have BBK questions, always check out the Zeckhausen website.
they don't call him Mr. Brakes at the BMW forums for nothing.
