a lil bit bout us

I bought this second s13 240sx coupe back in 2003. It had gone a few upgrades in those years and then was christened "revolver" by a friend that saw the name in a drift video.

One of the first mods i did was putting on Tein SS coilvers. The handling improved greatly and the car looked great all low and close to the ground.

I had then decided to put on some nicer wheels. I decided to go with a set of fn01r-c's because they were cheap and looked good. They were on the car for about a year and a half before I saw that EVERYBODY was using the wheels so I sold them. (sorry for the small pic, don't have anything better right now)

Other modifications to the car were newer generation s14 240sx seats. These seats have lumbar support something that the originals did not and were giving me really bad back pain. I then got a set of suspension techniques sway bars front and rear. It was a pain in the butt to put on but the result was reduced body roll, improved grip of tires allowing me to lower the dampening on the coilovers. Best 200 bux I spent so far. Engine modifications were few. The car already had a intake so all I did was maintenance. Other suspension mods I did were a rear M's sturt tower bar and a Tanabe front lower brace. For about a year it stayed like that while I saved up for the engine swap. Those are the early beginnings of Revolver.
