Default Progress!!!

Well I'm not building this car overnight but I since the last set of pics I've now added a set of Fortune Auto Comfort Series coilovers and a Rideskinz Fujin VIP lip. I should really get a camera... My phone doesn't even come close to doing the car justice

I've got a buddy with them on his S14, apperantly they're pretty popular with the 240sx guys. Anyhow I love the way his car rides so I gave them a shot, and they are sweet. 24 way dampening adjustment, and ride height is adjustable independent of spring preload. With the ride height I'm at now, It rides really close to stock and I'm on 16 of 24 (hard) on all four corners. They really start to stiffen up though as you turn the **** haha. I agree, I'm saving for wheels right now. I've got a pretty long list of stuff I plan to buy, it's just gonna take some time.

I'm impressed with the paint job on the lip in the garage. Car is looking good. Just out of curiosity, what's your list of parts to buy? There's nothing wrong with taking your time to buy stuff. And keep up the good work!

Was this an NC or SC car? There was a guy in South Carolina selling a 97 RSP/Black car fairly recently and had paperwork showing it was a 1 of 17 car with that combo. Super nice car man, I'd kill for one of those

Well, I'm kind of stuck in a bad spot right now... I just got relocated to NYC, more specifically brooklyn for work. The street side parking here is plain crazy, and every time I walk out to my car I'm deathly afraid there is going to be some sort of dent or scratch on it... As much as it pains me to do, I'm probably going to end up selling her. She's just waaay waaay to clean for the streets of NYC. I still have a little thinking to do, but if you're interested, keep your eyes peeled for a FS thread.
