This is going to be long.  save your riddicule, and read... but first enjoy this sweet ass gif.  Bashbars and Diffusers The fun part about building a car that doesn't just reside on the track, or car shows is all of the cool research you get to do in the process of tackling something yourself. I would like to build a splitter for my car, but I also want to build a new bumper support bar that will host a few items as well. the window banner is an inside joke. I just wanted to design something off the looks of my actual car. (symmetry isn't my fine point in pen sketching)  In the end I would like to powdercoat everything for longetivity, but I want the car to look as streetable as possible. Obviously the images below are some outlandish examples, I am a huge fan of Sam Ipman's diffuser setup. It's simple and can take a beating if needed, the only issue I think is it's rivited to the bumper directly and not braced by his chassis anywhere. I haven'...

I have a lot more to post about then I originally anticipated. A few weeks ago a good friend of mine Chris Licup as you may know as Frederic Asbo's biggest fan or you may just actually know Chris let me pull some much needed replacement parts off of his S14 he's building for the track. I originally was going to take his heater core too, but I didn't feel like taking his engine apart to loop his coolant hoses for the box I wanted to remove so I left it be. Chris Licup's Zenki S14 at Garage Life getting caged up Won't need the stuff to the right of the box anymore.  And I came up on a replacement door panel with mis matching fabric. Legit!  There are a few reasons why I grabbed the hvac equipment. 1. I had plans on doing something similar with my a/c install that Toby Broadfield did with his s13 , weather it's going to be as expensive or extensive as his setup remains to be seen. I still have a lot of other loose ends I need to resolve. And one of the...

HOW TO: Replace your damaged radio trim in a 1995-1997 240sx.  (obviously if you're not mentally retarded, removal is the opposite.)  So basically the story of an 16 year old cars life. Interior trim gets fucked up if not by you one of the previous owners. Some people would rather leave the cracked up interior pieces in there or if you were me. Mine originally looked like the new piece on the left below, but every mount that held it to the center console was broken.  Meaning they allowed someone with inhumane retard strength put screws back into it damaging the trim retainers. So first things first, head onto autozone with at least 1 original nissan screw. #10 3/4 is the most relevant sizing out of all of these. I just so happen to be missing TONS of these screws all around my dashboard or interior in general so I stocked up on them. The #8's are too thin for anything but the selection is less than robust at autozone.  About 8 dollars set back, this will make y...
