guys' you have no taste. those arent the same wheels i got another set, and yea that POS had more money in it then the damn rx8 and could go up against just about anything, the stock rx8 doesnt have any character, the pin stripe in person adds alot, and those ugly wheels are blitz type o1's that havent been produced since 92 and are pretty damn rare and weigh nothing, i'm the proud over of 2 of the few sets in the country

actually your looking at a built CA18det, yea, only thing stock on the 240 is the body, i spent 1 1/2 years building it, nothing you see in those pics is stock, even the front end came from japan, and i did all of it myself, may not look like a show car, but the money was put into the performance of the car

Nice job fellow tuner. I applaud ur work. In my opinion, im noit really felling the pin stripe, but i will say it does look alot better than some of the other graphics ive seen on cars.. as for thew rims, i think they are nice, all u need is the ms spoiler to top it all off. great 8 my brotha

Don't worry about the guys on this forum. Alot of them are sour. Just learn to ignore their posts..hahaha on the other hand the 240 is clean. I used to have a 94 sentra B13 with a sr20de-t from a gti-r. That shyt was f*cking quick! it would easily take out stangs wrx's and some evo's. Those blitz wheels are old skool. I've always liked them.

Man, your cars are tight. And those Blitz wheels can definitely come in handy for track work (dude you got Blitz wheels?!?!? That's like having some DoLuck wheels!!!!).

Don't pay attention to haters, skank, scallywags, etc. Do your thing dammit!!!!

Now THAT is fast. No weight and a good chunk of power. B13s baby ... some poeple better recognize this sleeper. I've heard of these things taking out NSXs on the track with no problem.

I love those rims, Just ignore people that don't know what they are looking at. Like Mike said not a lot of tuners here. I was personally a Honda man, built all kinds of hybrids.

well to be honest the pin stripe was a joke, i had it on the 240 and it looked bad ***, and before i even thought of getting a new car i said that no matter what car i got i'd stripe it, so i did not planning on keepin git, but in person it looks hot, the pic doesnt do it justice, and those blitz wheels were and impulse buy, i had a set of 16's on the 240 and looked up blitz wheels on ebay to see about pricing to sell mine, and saw those and bought them that min. they are really lite and add an old school look which i like, the off sets are good too +45 up front, which i might push it out some more, and +38 in the back, w/ 2deg of neg camber in the back it looks mean and handles like a dream. right now i have pirelli P-zero corsas on it, size 235-45-17, damn they are sticky, have a tread wear of 60, i plan on hitting the track a few times next year. i have a set of bride seats and takata harnesses i plan on putting in there when i get time to fab up seat brackets, i plan on getting maybe an exhaust and swaybars, thats about it, the 240 was an all out project car and i'm not looking for that again, but damn do i miss it, haha

nsx is an exotic but my old sentra would easily out handle, out power and seat 4 people in that car. It would put an NSX to shame...

the car is a 6spd, and the set i have on the 8 are 17x8+45 and 17x9+38, the car is pretty base, leather and seat warmers and wings just add weight, i love it though, even though i had every single top of the line suspension piece includeing every single bushing being replaced by polyurithane, the 8 isn't far behind in handleing w/ just springs and some nice tires, i love high rpm, my 240 redlined at 8500, and 9k is even better, but the 8 just doesnt pull from 120 like the 240 did, it'd push you way back in your seat
