Whoops, sorry for the lack of updates. I was busy dealing with legal issues with changing the front-end of the 240SX Coupe. The DMV didn't like the front end swap during the inspection, because the car was originally pop-up headlights and it became static. They were not satisfied with the safety and the light angle they desired. Actually I've done the swap last year once and it had no problem at all, or maybe it has been more strict since. Well, I just decided to spend another fortune and swap it into Onevia again, at least I had to get this thing road legal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  Aside the front-end swap, I brought a new set of 18-inch FD-50S for V$ 4500. It reminded me of the old Panasport wheels and I really dig this style. I sold the Advan AC3 for V$ 1500 to mend my wallet for more parts in the future. I guess the DMV will fight over about the lack of turn signals in the front, but oh well.  I also got the OEM rear spoiler for USDM 240SX for V$150 and it was really hard to find.  I also focused on the inside of the car. Since the 180SX Fastback was almost stock, I am doing more stuff on this almost-identical twin. Nardi Steering wheel for V$ 215, Apexi FC for V$ 550, Defi Turbo Gauge for V$ 70, Defi BF Tachometer for V$ 270, Blitz Manometer for V$ 200. Also, I got the HKS EVC Boost Controller for V$ 300, hydraulic E-brakes for V$ 80, Gear shifter for V$ 50, and used pair of Bride Low Max bucket seats for V$ 900. Stripping the interior was not my thing, and the wiring was a pain in the ass. Also, the E-brake setup is not fully done yet. I have to work on additional pistons and adapter to fit in the rear wheel hub.  Still more stuff to be done on this car! |
