Guest SweeeetSilvia Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Should I buy it or should I pass? Well most of you know what happened to my car this year, and I have been considering buying yet another 240. This one is from a good trusted friend of mine, Chad. The reason I am giving up on mine is because I have had to many people take advantage of me with it. I spent over 5k on new parts for it and only have about 1k of shit to show for it. (Some of you would know what im talking about). AND the clutch I had put in it went out again (or is going out) and I had only driven it about 200 miles with it. Plus half the time I couldnt even put it in revere e since the day I got it back. SO- I decided fuck that one and have been thinking about this one. http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/6/web/378000-378999/378316_19_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/6/web/378000-378999/378316_22_full.jpg The reason I want your opinion is because I am not a big body kit fan, but it is a genuine Veilside kit. http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/6/web/378000-378999/378316_14_full.jpg Some of the mods are.. pexi GT exhaust 4" Apexi turbo, Ball bearing Apexi turbo timer Greddy E-Manage computer ..with / laptop software Greddy/Trust 3 1/4" downpipe Greddy V-spec front mount Greddy 3 pulley set Greddy type S BOV Greddy Profec-B boost controller Greddy turbo outlet Greddy Intake Manifold 740cc Injectors 14" cooling fan 300zxTT fuel pump 300zx MAFS HKS high flow intake Fidanza Flywheel 8.5lbs Spec 2-stage performance clutch Jet-hot ceramic coated exhaust manifold Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Not really a fan of the Vailside kit (or is it a look alike?) even though they're expensive and some people sweat them. But it looks like a pretty complete car. For the right price I'd say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pg Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Not really a fan of the body kit, looks too smoothed out for the rest of the car's body. Doesn't look like it fits together. Thats just my opinion. But, if that one is in good shape and runs well then go for it, if you really don't like it then take it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiG BeN Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 i've seen the car up close, i don't really dig the kit(it does fit well though)personally i'de start(again)with something closer to stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlc1179 Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 get it, but take off that body kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 If you HAVE to get it, you ABSOLUTELY need to get better wheels and tires. The wheel offset is way too weaksauce graemlins/thumbsdown.gif for the width of the car with that body kit. Those wheels would look better on a stock body 240...I'm guessing the owner bought the wheels before the Veilside kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SweeeetSilvia Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Ok well if I keep my car, I can only carry liability, and at that, $1500 worth. So if I get into an accident, I AM getting sued more than likely. Also, I would need someone to build my motor, if I ever get my "new" turbo back.

Nitrousbird Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 You car looks better. IMHO a stock 240 looks better than that example. I'd pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex1647545498 Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I have to say that yours was much better looking too. But if the price is right then why not. You can always change the look later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
