im almost 100 percent sure its the battery. because like i get accessories, but like now after having the doors open listening to music while working on it, i lost most power so the battery died. cause like when i would try to start it, EVERYTHING went off and it clicked.

Your car actually has a 4X114.3 bolt pattern, so those wheels wouldn't fit.

Also, your electrical problem sounds like it might possibly be a loose or corroded connection somewhere. First check your battery connections, in particular the positive terminal to starter solenoid and then if there is a wire from the solenoid to the starter motor check that too, then work your way around the system. If you don't find anything loose or corroded then pull the starter and get it tested, but it sounds to me like your solenoid works fine, it just isn't getting enough power to crank the motor over.

yea like mesarius said, 4x114.3 pattern or 5x114.3 for 5 lugs.
and yea, corroded grounds can be a bitch, or corrosion in general, also make sure the fuel pump is starting up. when you turn the key to ON you should hear a buzzing sound from the back for a couple seconds.

Well first question before we go in to the starter, does the car at least crank when you turn the key?

If all it does is click I would look for sure at the starter or starting electrical system and not the fuel pump first. Like I said you might want to check your connections, it sounds like something is loose. You might also want to check the wire itself between the battery and the starter, you might be grounding out on something.

a friend once said to me
"you know how you can recognize tuners? They always wear hoodies" lol
its so true!!!!! i always wear hoodies.
anyways, nice work!
its always fun to have a friend help.
and yea forget about the fuel pump for now, focus on electrical issues, but sometimes the fuel pump arn't reliable on the 240's.

So its most likely the starter? Like once i get a little bit of money im gonna get one. You got any cheap ka parts you don't need yet chris?

haha. I got another offer for my bike...

A turbo and a REALLY ugly set of rims, and an amp. I was like nah. haha. but i asked him what he can do in place of the rims. cause they where like 350z/ugly rims. hahaah

And yeah, all the dicks at the 240 forum just busted on me for doing just a muffler. but i give my self credit for being 15. and like i feel good that im actually doing **** and have a car.

Ohhh. alright well let me know what you dont need, i'll take it off your hands.

TODAYS PROGRESSS!!!

Well today i painted 2 calipers, I only have one jack so i had to do them one at a time....and a friend came over and started on my cylinder head and its painted and off, and looks so nice.

Also removed the alarm system in it, as there was one but i dont have the remote or anything, So ++++ FOR WEIGHT REDUCTION!!! aahha. and some leaves where in there as well, MORE WEIGHTTT REDUCTION!!!

As i was putting on the cylinder head cover, i scratched it, so i had to redo it...thats why theres no picture of finished product, and go ahead make fun of me for painting things. I think it looks really nice with the color.
