I've been lagging on one of these, but I finally have the time to start one up. My mods will come slowly but surely due to minimum wage
I was actually trying and trying so hard to buy a 240, I love the things, but every single one I'd find was either too expensive because they were all SR20'd and S15'd out, or too beat down and crappy. But then one day I came across this Celica because the poster had put '240sx' as a tag. I had honestly never even considered a Celica for a second, when I thought Celica, I thought 7gc, and I never liked those. But once I saw this Celica, I fell in love. And thanks to Spider77, I found this site and it's helped me since day 1. Now that I've got a progress thread, I'll start updating it often. Thanks for looking! The first day I got her. I actually bought her from a member, vi-tuyen. ![]() Then the very first mod when I started working... early June. Injen SRI w/ Fujita filter. Bought from trdproven. Out ![]() In ![]() Then I picked up an OEM strut bar from a local part out in late June ![]() Three days after the strut bar, I got into a fender bender with an 18 wheeler. I swiped his tire. Luckily, I was fine, and no damage to the truck, and little damage to my car. Damage assessment: Cracked bumper, totaled RH fender, smashed sidemarker, bent strut, bent wheel. Literally 20 minutes before the wreck ![]() sexy angle Then when I got home afterwards Side ![]() Front (see the obvious neg camber? lolol)
