FInally, I'll be able to move out of the Silvia fan club and into the Silvia owners club. If all goes well, I'll be picking up my White Pearl 1995 240SX this weekend.

Guess it's about time to change my signature!
 
congrats on the purchase 👍
 
a 190?
 
113,000 miles, S6 grand.

That may seem like a lot, but consider that the car has:

TEIN HE Coilover Suspension ($1300 new)
Cusco CF front tower bar
Cone filter
New interior, from an SE.
CD player.


And, most importantly:
The car is an auto, but he's including the full manual swap kit, all I have to do is get my mechanic to put it in.

My only real complaint is that it's currently running on ugly-ass black steel rims. But I'm going to get some Gram Light 57c rims.

I'm also gonna get an URAS catback exhaust, and a brake kit. (Brembo rotors, drilled & slotted, (zinc anodized in silver, gold, or black), racing brake pads, braided steel lines, and racing brake fluid. (Has a higher boiling point, so as to avoid fade from overheating)



Oh, yeah, I did have a Benz, an '85 190E. It lasted me three months before it died. What a ripoff. Fortunately, my mechanic, who I bought it from, is going to take it back, and in return, I'm going to have him do the transmission job.
 
its great that its already got good suspension, saves alot of money
 
W00t!!!!

There's an S14 in my driveway!!!

My first impression:

It's actually kinda scary! The suspension is so stiff that every bump is noticeable! And it's so low that you have to be careful not the scrape the bumper!

But, you know what, it's all worth it, because this car corners like nothing i've ever driven. There is hardly any body roll at all.

And I haven't even installed my strut bar yet!
 
I order you to take pictures for me and all the other S14 loving members (including Xzift:lol: )
















Please
 
Yes please take pics of your car and another question what car did you sell to buy this car or this your first car?
 
I'll take some pics as soon as my dad gets home. (He went to go take some research pics for work, so he has the digicam). I kinda want to wash it before I take pics, too, but if I don't get a chance, I won't do it.

It's not my first car, but I didn't sell my old one. My old Benz 190E crapped out. I'm trading it to my mechanic for some work i'm gonna have done on this car. (Mostly the auto-5speed swap, the previous owner was gonna do it, so he had all the parts, but he ended up getting a good deal on a better S14 (a heavily modded black one, formerly of Signal Auto), so he included all the parts with the car)


I also REALLY need rims and tires. It's running on black steelies, and the back tires are almost gone.
 
Heh. Didn't have to wait long. :D

How much did it cost you? I saw one today at a local dealership(Ford dealership lol) that costed about $10,000.
 
$5600. Pretty good deal, considering the stuff that was included and the condition the car is in.
 
The S14 has 4-lug hubs? Can anyone explain to me why Japanese manufacturers put these on even the relatively high-perf cars?

And Takumi, you can change your sig now. ;) EDIT : Damn, you changed it while I was posting.
 
I'm not sure why they did the 4 lug thing either. The SE has the 5lug hubs, but the base, like mine, doesn't. It's a relatively easy swap, though.
 
Yeah you really need some rims badly! And also you are right the car is really low and interior pretty good.
 
looks nice congrats 👍
