    What do you all think of the new wheels? The car is coming together nicely! There's still so much to do and so many videos to shoot, it's been an awesome journey so far!

  • @anonymousmind
    @anonymousmind 7 лет назад +5

    I love these type of videos! You could start cleaning up the exterior and modernising it after the interior is completed!

    • @saabkyle04
      @saabkyle04  7 лет назад +1

      That's the plan! There's a lot of bodywork that needs to be done before a full repaint (in the original color). I'm also adding a complete OEM 180SX Type-X kit to keep everything in the Nissan family (no fiberglass replicas) and give it a more aggressive look.

    • @anonymousmind
      @anonymousmind 7 лет назад +1

      Saabkyle04 Yes! I can't wait to see how good it's going to look and just be for the driver. You should get all the exterior lights replaced as well if you haven't done that. Also some new seats!

    • @saabkyle04

    I've been watching your videos since 2012 and I can't believe how far you have come. You went from reviewing daily driver cars at your dads dealer and junker cars to reviewing brand new cars like the demon which hasn't been released to the public yet. Now you're doing restomods, hanging out with my favorite car repair guy #chrisfix. You're a very lucky guy Kyle, you have come a long way in the past 5 or 6 years. Good luck with your 240sx Kyle.

    • @saabkyle04

    You should move the body harness from above the fender liner to higher up inside the fender, it’s a must do mod for lowered 240s to save you from electrical gremlins.

    • @saabkyle04
      @saabkyle04  7 лет назад

      It was! I'm not sure what I'll do with the original wheels yet. It's going to be awesome getting the bodywork redone, eventually haha. It's in awesome shape, but there's a lot of dents, dings and failed clear coat that need to be addressed. Sure looks good on camera though :)

    @snakezulu7 7 лет назад

    Not to be a drift kid or anything, but the contact patch on the rear of your car is only gonna increase as the camber approaches 0 degrees. You may think about rolling even more or getting narrower tires and installing them with a bit of stretch.

    Nice job, but a suggestion for the future, when you are breaking off and tightening bolts like the axle nuts and caliper bracket bolts don't try to lift up on the wrench cause all the force is on you back, try pushing or leaning on it. You still have good control but you use your body weight to your advantage and don't put so much strain on you back.
