Sold my contour.

I'm gonna miss her. But recession has hit me hard and she had to go.
So for now I'm down to having just my 240sx. Thought I'd post some pics of it since I don't think I've done that yet.

I've converted all but the headlights and front bumper parking lights to led. all done neat and clean, no ricing around.

last pic of the contour and the 240sx together.


And no, i didn't buy a 240sx cause I'm a drift punk that fell into F&F hype. Plans for decent power and a track monster. But what do you all think? Sorry if the pics are dark.
 
Looks like it's in decent shape. I've been looking to buy one. Needs a drop and that exhaust looks too long and out of place. And definitely keep the ka.
 
it does need a drop. badly. saving up for a nice Tein coilover set up.
The exhaust is out of place, needs a couple bends in it. But thats what you get for doing exhaust work yourself. 2.5" header back.
 
I'm curious as to why you don't want to do the SR20 swap? The gentleman that tunes my car has a 95 240 with the swap in it... and with a large front mount, catback and a standalone it makes 270 RWHP on a Mustang Dyno. The motor is still completely stock with the exception of what I listed. Damn car is quick and fun ;)

There is nothing wrong with an SR20. except that everyone does that. and i mean EVERYONE. except fot the elite few who stick it out with the KA. Mostly just preference. But the KA tends to be a much more torquey of a motor. And i like that torque. Plus, there is no replacement for displacement. ha ha. And the KA is a bigger motor. Plenty of aftermarket for it, and can be done to the same power as an SR for less and just as reliable. But like i said, it's mostly just preference.

Plus it gets tiring when people see your car and all they ask is: "You got an SR in there?" Even the parts store guy while i was buying a part for the KA.
 
Did you take pictures of pictures?

Nice car, I always liked them...just not the general fan base that follows.

No. just cell phone pics. My normal camera is missing the correct cable to connect it to the comp and i don't feel ambitious enough yet to go get a new one.

I tell ya, I've been a troll now for a full week, and it feels wierd, lol.

it does feel wierd. but this being the best car site, community and information wise, i've ever been on, i plan on sticking around.
