Default Grainy shots of my beaten up pile of garbage

Got some new parts on the car (radiator, fans, wheels, tails), so I thought I'd take some pictures.

Like the retard I am, I forgot to check the ISO on the camera before spending like 30 minutes pushing the car around and taking pictures, so these came out super ****ty and grainy.

I like them regardless, and I'm too lazy to reshoot, so here they are.

No need to re-shoot, pics are fine! Hope you didn't hurt yourself pushing your car around !

Almost... 2-way diff and crappy power steering do not make for an easy car to push, and my neighbors hate me, so starting my car over and over to move it at 2am wouldn't have gone well. haha

i dont get why you dont have high beams...

Also what rad did you use? My koyo rad needed the brackets bent downward for it to fit. Plus i tripped my oem fan shroud so it would fit.

I have cooling issues at the track, so any way to get a little more air flowing in is good.

It's a koyo radiator. I didn't bend the brackets down, I just trimmed thick pieces of rubber to fit between the bracket and the radiator up top, it's sturdy. I didn't use the clutch fan because I would have had too many issues with the intercooler piping, so I just got altima fans from a buddy.



Lots of 240 guys I know use them and love them, and so far I'm really satisfied.

Nice! Looks much better with the new tails and wheels.

With the high beams out, have you thought about using the passenger side hole to route air directly to your intake? Or do you think it gets enough air just having the holes there?

I am still very interested in those altima fans I looked it up and I am pretty sure I know which ones to buy but how did you wire it up and do they work well ????

False advertising! I wanted grainy shots of garbage ...I'm so let down...


Looking great. Love the tires. Plan on gutting those 95-96 tails?
