Too Many 240SX - R/T Tuning Race Car Prep - Page 3 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I love how the engine bay looks with the fenders tubbed out, soooo clean! What color is it getting painted?

Next Project:

RT Tuning helping me out with some extended studs and 10mm wheel spacers so that I barely clear my fenders. WRX with a +35 would be insane!

Mac @ R/T Tuning · 01-29-2007, 05:26 PM

White, the engine bay/interior is getting painted super bland white. The exterior will get a white with some kinda flake in it, gotta make up my mind on the exact flake still. Trying to keep the paint simple so color matching is simple when the current aero get trashed.

Mac is to busy eating big donuts to pick a final color.

You guys do some insane work, keep it up.

Silverfc88 · 01-29-2007, 11:20 PM

That body is looking very very stiff! Good job on the front fenders.

jspek · 01-29-2007, 11:22 PM

thats rediculous. rediculously cool haha.

sisforsurfing · 01-29-2007, 11:25 PM

Agreed, everything's looking crazy good. Glad you keep posting updates, the tubbed front looks gnarly. I thought most people just tubbed rears, hah, guess I don't know my 240's.

"big boy wheel fitment," hahaha

Mac @ R/T Tuning · 01-30-2007, 10:28 AM

Rear wheel fitment on the 240 is pretty easy in terms of sizing + you don't have to deal with turning. To turn big wheels in the front (in this case 10.5"s), tubbing the front is the only option.

TurboTagTeam · 01-30-2007, 11:41 PM

At least some people are catching on. It's crazy how many people build cages for their cars and fail to reliaze the importance of gusseting the cage to key points on the body.

Nice work.

P.S.---what are you using to punch the holes in the gussets?

dickerdieter · 01-31-2007, 12:03 AM

as our favorite rich ass slut would say "thats hot"

Tim looks like things are going well...your signature milds and rockstar energy drink on the table proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was your work...impressive

Wiisass · 02-01-2007, 01:45 PM

Thanks Jimmy, you need to get up here sometime soon.

The car just got back from paint.

Jourdan · 02-01-2007, 02:47 PM

anthracite93 · 02-01-2007, 04:10 PM
