My Favorite car.. A Nissan 240sx will be pimped. I'm afraid to see if they are going to do something insane with it... But if they drop in An RB Series into it.. I am going to be jealous! Even a SR20 would be enough for an envy haha. This car isnt as bad as the others... just kinda junky. Watch it you guys! It will be either a massicure of a awesome car, or a drifting machine.



Sincerly,


The nervous Skyline racer
 
yea they should hook it up nasty. i would just its funny because the guy has all the wires sticking out, a nintendo 64 and a set of racing seats. not to mention the typical "beater" type look with the primer panels! LOL
 
That car's getting raped. They'll put a 30" TV in the trunk 10 10" tv's throughout the whole car, a ugly ass body kit, with equally ugly Giovanna chrome rims. APC everything. For the trunk, he'll have a bookcase and something to put his shoes.

Meanwhile, the engine will still be burning oil, and the chassis will STILL have rust on it. But the paintjob will be nice.
 
i love that he boguht n4s although he can't afford the console LOL
this'll be good!
 
HAHA, Yeah dude, I was just watching it. Commercial now! But i saw it. Its ugly... wow just wait... they did a quick glance.. oh man. take off those graphics!



just wait.

be back at 930

Yeah!!! hahahaha
 
you know they
NEVER
do anything to the engine on pimp my ride..... why?

because they dont actually have skill modding cars... they look in books see the rice and copy it... kinda sad really
 
OMG HE GOT A CLOCK AND A VOLT METER!!!! YES!!!!!!!
i love how the main thing they did to the engine was put a green neon cover over the air intake


damn dude how much boost you pulling right now 3 bar? HOLY poop

wait noooo thats a clock... dude its late i need to get home
 
haha yup,although it was pretty hilarious when he was like 3 xboxs...i don't have that many friends LOLOLOLOL
 
HAHAHAHA what a funny show. I am dissapointed in them. Why couldnt it have been a sleeper and they throw in a SR20DET. Save all that time and guadyness. I give up. hahhaa.. Oh well, it was still nice to see it on t.v.

HAHAHA DID YOU SEE THE GREEN NEON THING? The filter was crushed, did anyone catch that. Wow they didnt even give him a new air filter, only "castrol syntec"

adds 35 hp. hes in a mean green machine now!

Later!
 
Well since i'm on the west coast, it hasn't been shown yet, but I can already imagine how horrible it'll look.

They could have actually compromised on the show and go, and actually did the car right.

S15 front end conversion
real subtle body kit
17" gold advans
JIC Coilovers
Dark Blue paint job
S15 sr20det swap
Titanium Exhaust
dvd in-dash flip up screen
2 10w7's in the back
sparco racing seats
4 point harness
 
yup waitng here too. They should have looked at Option mag or the old school TMR Mag. Great stuff for that ride.

Oh Well.
 
i like ur list kwong. i'd change a little though for my personal preference.


17's to 18's. Racing Hart black spokes with a polished lip.
Black paintjob w/ THAT STOCK wing.
Apex'I N1 Exhaust
S15 all around conversion.
custom painted red coilovers, approx 2 in. drop
300zx brake swap
Greddy turbo timer
Upgrade kit from HKS turbo


that would make me freakin say WOW.. and faint. Thats just my list, hehe


oh yeah, and no dvd for me, just a killer sound system. so i can blare guns n roses while cruzin.


thats a dream list...


-SR

OH yeah, To the WC guys. Make sure to watch the new viva la bam and you've got a friend, Really funny too!
 
heres what i would do.... re paint it in black keep the body stock and beef the crap outa the engine. put some black aranthicite(sp?) colored wheels on it... i like those oz's with the yellow writing

Well a S15 conversion "all around" wouldnt' exactly be the easiest thing to do. Especially if you're talking about making it look EXACTLY like an S15. A S15 front-end conversion is relatively easy to do. And WCC has really good body work people.

Dunno about the Apex'I N1 Exhaust, but if it ain't titanium, it ain't worth it.

If you're doing brakes, i'd either get some R34 brakes, or some Stoptechs.

I personally wouldn't do too much to the engine other than an engine managment and exhaust.

I think Advans weigh about 16lbs each and they cost anywhere from $2000-2500 for a set minus the tires. That's A LOT of show IMO. And 18's are too much for a 240sx.

Something like that except with a wing on the back, painted blue with gold Advans, and a drop with a quality coilover kit.

Or similiar to that except with the above mentioned

Hmm, well after seeing the show, I gotta say, that was the absolute worse car they've EVER done. The body kit and paint was horrible. The guy had a decent body kit to begin with. If they would have just finished the installation right, it'd of looked SOOO much better. Instead they went with that ugly ass kit. Not to mention the wing was horrible....and they didn't even paint the car the same color. Green car and orange/red spoiler and mirrors? WTF?

Instead of buying some 240sx brackets for the racing seats, they just freaking used the bottom of the stock seats and the top from racing seats. Kinda defeats the purpose of racing seats. Then to top that off, they put a poorly installed 5 point harness that is actually dangerous. Instead of attaching the harness to a bar that goes across the B Pillar, they jsut drilled into the chassis. Just wait until you get chassis flex

Even worse, they didn't fix his pop up headlights, instead, left them up. WTF? It'd of looked SOOO much cleaner if they had them down the way they're supposed to be.

Oh yeah, I loved all the ricey neon throughout the car. So AWESOME...lol

I thought it was funny how Xzibit showed off his car knowledge by thinking the guys girlfriend is named Silvia or some poop. Maybe there's something more to the word Silvia?
