talk to any axis supplier, you should be able to find them for around $700-800 for the set. lol i am a bit or a wheel whore as my friends call me, changed my wheels 6 times on my 240sx when i had it.

So i better post some pictures of my old beast, gave it up to enjoy the salt water hobby:

1990 nissan 240sx (looking to buy a new one in the summer)

Never got around to painting it before i sold it. bought the car back in 2003 and sold it in 2008 to a friend who painted. and its for sale again lol

This is it in 2004

2006

early 2008

mid 2008 till i sold it, went back to oem look. I got sick of busting bumpers

after i sold it my friend raised it (was to low for him) put another kit on it, and painted it

And this is my baby that i replaced it with. waiting on new levers, grips and bar ends right now. next is race rails and new tires

hey lorenz0 the 240 is that the same one for sale on beyond does it have a wide bodykit

lorenz0 · #3 02-03-2010, 05:17 PM

yep thats the one. it only has 30mm over fenders in the back and he added spacers to pull the wheels out. I keep telling him some new wheels would make the car look better with that kit. my friend rob had the same kit and was running weds kranze LXZ's and it looked sick.

speaking of cars, i remember when yours was for sale last year or a year before. i was debating about buying it because it came with the ITR wheels and new paint and was one hell of a deal

Not a car. but I did this last summer.

Before:

Middle:

After (not quite done yet though):

Planning to get a little airbrush work done. Pinup girl or something army-ish related. This thing just reminds me of a fighter jet or a helicopter

Here is one of the dumbest things I ever did... fast but a waste of money. Didn't help that I redid it once and never liked it so did it all again. I'd rather have a new car ahah And it took up a crap tone of my time. B16, turbo, hondata engine management, lighter flywheel, better clutch, short shifter, black widow crx body kit (took some mods), larger injectors etc. Did all the body work myself

Ripped half my bumper off on a pile of snow the other day

and it still needs some deep dished wheels

Here's another project my dad and I did when I was 16. My first vehicle

Started as a rusted piece of crap from some farmers field in sask some where.

I'll scan in some photos of how it started but here's how it look after the restore... but it's been sitting in a garage for 6 yrs now
