maybe you can lower a bit more and change the the tires to 225/45/17 or 225/40/17.


thinking about buying a beater. yar or nay??

1995~97 (not sure)
Nissan 200SX SE
White
AUTOMATIC :thumbsdow
170K :thumbsdow
Moonroof
Working AC
Rear Spoiler
$1000


interior/exterior is very clean for its age. owner said its '98 but '98s have different head/taillights. must be between '95~97. mileage is 170k but was very surprised when i fired the engine up. it idles silky smooth and no other mechanical noises. owner is in army. stationed at fort lewis. i think mileage is mostly highway, driving back and forth from here to fort lewis.

 

I like those, very nice looking cars but 170K even with a smooth idle could be a bit of a time bomb IMO.

 

agreed.. and its not a stick so its not possible to throw in a decent engine afterwords when it does go.. mmmmmmmm skyline engine in a 200sx = lots of fun

 

if it wasn't the high mileage, i would've bought it right away. $1000 car with clean interior and exterior is hard to come by.


btw... you guys are not confused with 240sx right?

200sx =

 

Chris...

I may have to bail on lowering more tomorrow.

Dad needs me to help him out at his house...but i would be available later on, or later in the weekend.

Let me know.

 

oh ya i was confused for a sec.. ya i wouldnt get it unless you really need a POS..

 

yeah sorry, thought 240SX...

Kyle - That's cool, we can shoot for another time.

 

so its official now.. prices on kpro came out... 1395 if you provide your own rsx ecu 1995 if they provide the rsx ecu... almost makes me wanna stay with just the reflash for a while

 

but think about the gains you'll get

 

buy it for me and ill let you know otherwise it will be late next summer before i decide on it.. got a few vacations i need to save up for

 

almost 2K!!!!!

 

Was that a type-o or are they actually using the RSX (DC5) ECU?

If thats the case, why wasnt this done a long time ago?

 

it was done a long time ago but from what I heard you lost gauges, VSA, and cruise control and may have had to switch to a cable throttle body. Now you can keep your gauges, VSA, cc and your dbw throttle body.

Also this will be the "official" release of Kpro for DBW applications. A while back it was more of a "backyard" tuner approach

 

Ah i see

Working right > Jerry rigged

anyday.


Chris you still thinking about lowering your car? Im gonna be at my dads tomorrow, and will most likely be fixing my fog lights + touch up paint + lowering a smidget.

If your still wanting to do and need some help let me know.

 

xmas avatars = more cool points

 

I dunno it's settled a little bit and I am really starting to like it lol. I might just leave it where it's at. I keep kicking the idea back and forth so I dunno. If I go lower I'll just jack it up sometime this weekend and take the plunge. I don't think I have time to get all the way out around where you live.

 

nice avatar.. HO HO HO

 

Front end now sits 23 3/4 inches from floor to top point of wheel well.
Rear end now sits 24 1/4 inches from floor to top point of wheel well.


Also, put a 5mm spacer in the rear to compensate for the thicker front brake hats.

Also gave the front end a once over with a touch up pen.


Gonna paint the front of my ASPEC lip to match the black of the TypeS lip in the rear. So right now my lip is off the car....i must say i feel bad for people without ASPEC kit. Looks are totally different.

 

do they rub at all after rolling the fenders?

today i applied foam tapes on all four window tracks. it always made a ticking noise when window is down and faq section had a fix for it.

also applied dynamats on driver/passenger floors. not sure if these additions made any changes yet. haven't driven my tl for three straight days

 

No rubbing with the ASPECs, im sure the VOLKS will be a different story. We will have to see soon. When we rolled them it opened up a two finger gap from tire to fender with the ASPECs though. Before i wasnt able to get one finger through.

Let me know if you need anymore dynamat. I still have a couple pieces.

 

still have the 2 finger gap even after dropping the full amount of your Teins? Sounds like you need bags now

 

two finger gap after rolling??
thought there wasn't much to roll but thats alot!
maybe i can even go +30 offset if i roll the fenders. hmmmmm

 

Didnt go full amount. I chickened out

I did a 1.5 turns on the collar up front, and 1 turn on the collar in the back.

Remember though, the ASPECs are +45 offset. Volks are +39, so that 6mm is gonna close up quick.

Along the outside edge of tire, and inside edge of fender. Got to remember, when rolling you are also pulling the fenders giving them a flare. You can see it when looking down along the side of the car.

The only problem i had which hopefully doesnt effect anything is that my BBK wouldnt allow for rolling all the way to the tab. Im gonna go work on the car some more today so im gonna try applying some heat and some careful pulling to see what i can get.

At my buddies house where i rolled my fenders, he had a set of WED Sports that were 18x9 +32offset. No tires though, but when we put them on for shits and giggles they would have tucked up into the wheel well perfectly. Id say with a 225-235 tire on the 9in wheel it would fit perfectly.

 

enkei rpf1 in sbc finish
18x8.5 +30 offset with 235/40/18 or 235/35/18 or 225/40/18 could work.

always wanted rpf1 but 18x8.5 only comes in lower offset but with the rolling +30 might work out.

 

took an hour today and dropped down another half inch. So now I have NO finger gap to speak of and about a 1/4" tuck all around. Looks siiiiiicccccckkkkkkkk photoshoot must commence while it's still sunny out!

 

Gonna look real sporty.

Nice.



I finished up my front lip and re-installed that today. I must say it cmae out very good for a back yard special paoint job.

I cant wait to throw the VOLKS on to see this new stance.

 

put the volks back on, looks like a dry week after tomorrow

 

Oh man i so should....just saw that there is a chance of rain on Wednesday...then dry till Saturday

Hopefully that will change so i can keep the car clean before the show on Sunday.

 

Does anyone happen to know the number to PDX WRAPS in Sherwood?

I drove by it today and want to get a quote for a vinyl roof but they have nothing that comes up on google, or city search.

 

Monday after a four day weekend...

 

KPro released officially for the TSX now, OMG droooolzzzz but almost 2K? OUCH! Looks like with Hytech setup hondata managed over 200 whp with Kpro, could prolly get more if they pushed the envelope more.

Monday after 4 day weekend blows and I have 9 - 5 traning all week! bleh! However; I do have a nice view of my now lower than before look. Makes me happy lol

 

told ya its spendy... im sure if i sell my reflash i could get a few steps closer to it but im gonna hold off until after Xmas to make my decission.

when you gonna post pics of the tuck shots?

 

^^ sometime this week? lol I'll try not to drag it out like last time

 

10$ gets everyone cell phone pics after lunch

 

Everyone must be working hard today...

Chat is a bore...


----------

Chris i just looked at the weather in the paper...they forcast rain everyday but tuesday..
Yet weather channel website calls for rain today and tomorrow, then dry till next tuesday..

Lets wish for the weather channel to be right so we can see clean cars at the show.

 

its monday.. people still need to wake up in order to chat..

i should have my powersteering pulley in the mail today so i can put in my NST and the power steering. YAY!

i heard the weather is suppose to be dry on sunday but rain on saturday till evening

 

Either way, im gonna have a hard time getting the car to beaverton without it getting trashed.

On a lighter note, im pretty sure i fixed my fogging problem.
One of the o-rings i got fit perfectly and the seal is really tight around the fog bulb now

 

i may join you on this too depending on the price.


5th day without even getting into my tl. saves mileage

 

Still cant find the number anywhere online. Maybe ill 411 them and hope they are listed.

 

maybe this one?
