Like what you see? Subscribe today and stay up to date with my latest reviews, vlogs and projects! bit.ly/1RXFn3v
In today's video, we dive into a video that's been a few months in the making, part 2 of the interior restoration! This time, I gut most of the interior, lay down sound deadening, install new carpet and more! This made a huge impact. Not only is the cabin far quieter than it used to be, but it also feels more solid. I'm trying to make this car better every chance I get. It's really coming along nicely! Don't forget to catch up on some of the previous updates if you haven't already, enjoy!

[@rockolutheran]

nice to know someone is restomodding one of these cars with taste.

[@jetjazz05]

I wish I could give more than one thumb up.

[@Shyzah]

◘ EXOSPHERE ◘ i think his 240 meeds 24 inch wheels and hydraulics

[@luuk3213]

Shyzah and neons! And THICC speakers in the trunk! haha

[@stonerman15]

More than u think.

[@Nick210]

Finally, a KZbin project car being done right.

[@marino4691]

check out jp performance, he does that too

[@gamersvn5738]

ever heard of Chrisfix ?

[@juansantiago164]

As long as a project car fulfills your desired application and is done with quality parts and work it’s done right

[@Raiyan-nt3vk]

Don Pablo I no rite!! :B

[@Shyzah]

Its so cool that you found that. Its almost as if this car was meant to be restored in the future.

[@CarsOverdose]

I enjoy his videos so much.

[@jacobmoon6191]

It's nice to have a drift car 240 but it's awesome to have a classic non-touch 240. Great video!

[@komentierer]

I love whag you're doing to the car! Finally someone with a 240SX who doesn't just gut out the interior and crashes into a wall while "drifting"

[@-viralia]

"wieght addition, bro!" I like the way you do the opposite of what all the others do and makes sense on a 240, it's different!

[@saabkyle04]

That's the truth! hahaha

[@quarawlisstafford487]

This weight is beneficiary

[@luuk3213]

quarawlis stafford How is the extra weight beneficial? I am curious, please explain. I've always thought that less weight means better handling, better acceleration and better fuel economy. Now you're saying that in this case, extra weight is good and now I am confused as hell. (JOKE, don't get offended: I've heard americans love horrible gas mileage, but still.)

[@octanin]

Dude you're a fucking pro.

[@anonymousmind]

Thanks!

[@1mlb704]

Really sweet video Kyle! As somebody who's taken apart his own car's interior several times for different reasons, I can appreciate the hard work and care you put into this process.

[@rc_flux3290]

That original window paper tho thats crazy

[@saabkyle04]

I know!

[@alexsavoie3963]

Hands down the best 240sx build on KZbin

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks so much!!

[@dollaz5541]

Cleanest for sure, but I like thatdudeinblue 240 more

[@rickyduran7673]

You are doing this car right! How every 240 should be be worked on! Too bad they're all getting smashed away😢

[@Shyzah]

Ricky Duran thats good that theyre all getting smashed away... i see too many. They need to be rarer. This car would have been on its way to the junkyard ina few years until kyle picked it up. Nice to see someone with taste doing a car right. None of that ricer 240 shit is ee all the time.

[@S1lverArr0w]

I can't wait to see the end result. I won't lie, When you started this, I wasn't drawn in to this restomod but my love for this channel and seeing what you've done so far, only makes me want to see more and what the end result is AND it gives me hope in knowing that these old cars are just as capable as the new ones, if you're maintaining them right. Keep it up Kyle dude, You're doing great🔥

[@tony2x761]

300zx brake calipers would be a better choice in my opinion. Only because it’s another Nissan part that would be OEM- like. By the way I love how this build is turning out to be, very OEM, RB25DET Nissan engine. As if Nissan had put the RB25DET in it originally.👍🏼👍🏼

[@nikoraasu6929]

Too op!!

[@eddiej7011]

Great build glad your giving this s chassis the treatment they deserve. I hope they become classic in our generation.

[@FrontRowOrBust]

I was in the middle of a dope ass make out sesh but then I saw this notification

[@user-wt4te7fu6i]

PageMeIfYouWantMe Wait, what?

[@bagoramen616]

You're like 5

[@chaseloudon4652]

😂😂

[@hardr7194]

PageMeIfYouWantMe I feel bad for you your girl found out your gay

[@kcchiefsfanGoLJ]

I absolutely love the attention to detail, he doesn't cut corners, everything is done to the best of his ability. Love that type of work.

[@jetjazz05]

Man... I wish you'd done a before and after sound comparison :'( I've been wanting to add some sound deadening to my car and seeing the before and after intrigues me greatly.

[@SecondSkinAudio]

He does have a before video with no interior, it is super load. And he will probably drive around later with camera in the car, you will hear a huge difference. Our typical customer removes between 7 and 15 Db of unwanted noise when sound deadening properly with the multiple layers. When using all products inside and under, you can get even better results which bring up words like tomb, vault like silence. #SecondSkinForTheWin

[@rdvz]

I'm glad that I haven't see any comments like "Y R U PUT SOUND DEADENING IN WHEN U CAN LISTEN TO THE EXHAUST NOTE???". That's the sign of a great fanbase, loved the build!

[@Vodafone16v]

Daaamnn!!! That is one MINT CONDITION interior for a car of over 25 years of age!!! Congrats bro!!!

[@Ozzy5610]

The 240 has come to fruition Kyle, it looks amazing and I'm glad you're sticking to originality it makes the this 240 stand out more in my opinion. Great video, keep it up.

[@Whackfear]

I clicked faster on this video than the value is going up on that 240.

[@saabkyle04]

Hahahaha

[@saabkyle04]

240s have become quite expensive. I guess it's that "drift tax" that everyone refers to lol.

[@philspaghet]

I bet with the amount of quality work put into that 240s, yours will be one of the most highly valued 240s in the US!

[@Whackfear]

I'm guessing some lunatics have a few 300 miles 240 in some barn somewhere which are worth 75 million dollars, but Kyle's isn't bad.

[@Whackfear]

Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. In rhetoric, it is also sometimes known as auxesis (lit. "growth"). In poetry and oratory, it emphasizes, evokes strong feelings, and creates strong impressions. As a figure of speech, it is usually not meant to be taken literally. ~ Wikipedia

[@alexander_ford_]

Very cool and thorough! I also installed a new carpet in my 240. I couldn’t believe how much it transformed the interior.

[@talkingshift5389]

Even before this restoration, this is easily one of the cleanest, best kept 240's I've seen on KZbin.

[@louispd6828]

Really enjoyed all your videos, im the proud original owner of a 240sx 1989. Thanks to you, i was able to restore my signal/headlight/wiper stacks with the decal tutorial presented by you, thanks...

[@stekarenhd6911]

Brooo that carpet was already perfect...

[@isaacchavez5358]

I was raised around air-cooled volkswagens and because of that I'm kind of a 240 purist so when I see people gutting their car's interior and cutting into the body for overfenders it always breaks my heart. Makes me happy to see there's people out there who love 240s and want to keep theirs close to original, while still adding their own personal flare. Keep it up bro!

[@henlolneh]

This is so gosh darn clean of a rebuild... All of the tiny little details add up to one masterpiece. New paint job and this is pretty much a brand spankin' new 240sx in 2017.

[@SkylerHerren]

Dang, it looks like an off-the-lot interior! Great job, Kyle! I'm so excited to see it finished!

[@alexortiz835]

This man is about to have one of the cleanest 240's in the world. 1000% props for making this car something truly special

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks so much!!

[@Underappreciatedclassics]

1:12, Kyle, that’s insane, and a really cool piece of history right there!

[@bagoramen616]

I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER! THANKS KYLE!

[@jetjazz05]

303 Fabric Guard is hands down definitively the BEST water repellent for fabric soft tops. If you buy an old convertible it'll stiffen the fabric up again and UV protect it as well as make the water bead up (almost) as good as new. It's also priced great, like $80 for a gallon or something which is enough to do your car 3 times a year for two years or so.

[@Delorean217]

You're definitely a professional at this! Good job.

[@michaelrawlins419]

You definitely have the 240 with the best interior in the world

[@bvedant]

You have so much patience do go through all of these procedures AND document the process. I tip my hat to you, my good man

[@dwiputradk]

really nice interior, like a new

[@240zwannabe]

I can sleep easier now knowing that no matter what happens, there will be one pristine 240SX out there preserving its stock beauty :')

[@heliosdelsol]

Damn dude you're not screwing around! Doin' shit right! 👍🏼

[@saabkyle04]

Yessir!!

[@98Etienne98]

I discovered your channel only today. I was like "Oh I wonder when the next episode of the 240 build will come out" 3 hours later.... yey

[@saabkyle04]

That's awesome!!

[@davidmitchell5638]

Kyle, i just wanna tell you that the new video format is amazing! While i always enjoyed those 30 minutes videos with such details but under 15 is great. Thank you 🙃

[@saabkyle04]

Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated!

[@archechme]

it gives me great pleasure and reassurance knowing that kyle has this 240sx. It's an amazing example and it's good knowing it isn't owned by a jackass who won't take proper care of it. This thing will end up in a museum one day.

[@therealdirtydan908]

"OOO lucky penny" I love you so much Kyle, 7 years of watching you lol 😂

[@civilizeddelinquent563]

Good to see that you're doing most of the work yourself Kyle!!

[@alexthedon]

I love this build series. Your videos are very organized, informational, and theres a perfect 50/50 mix of working, and dialogue throughout the video. Keep up the great work man

[@jaakko222]

This is a really nice change of pace because every 240sx is turning to a drift car now days

[@MRTuning704]

You have the cleanest 240 iv seen? You should sell me to old stuff !

[@goldpony]

Love the window sticker find!!! Congrats Kyle I would be so excited if I found that! Love seeing the 240 build vids!

[@nathandburton]

I've watched for a few years now and I definitely appreciate the (hopefully it's okay to say this ;) MotorWeek-esque reviews you do. They're unique among the auto channels I follow. They're typically more informational and in-depth. As much as I appreciate and enjoy the effort you put into those videos, it's actually your personal car stories that are always my favorites. This 240 project has been awesome so far. The Saab project was really great and the video you did installing the Borla exhaust on your grand dad's Merc was really good, too. Anyhow, I hope things go well for you as you begin building your house. Peace!

[@mattruth8077]

Best 240 build on KZbin

[@andrewdmitri5821]

Wow that’s insanely cool that the window sticker was still there the whole time... my buddy found a picture of my car in my center console under the shift boot from 1995 of the car when it was brand new.. 1995 Acura Integra SE

[@danteeightsix9069]

That's cool finding the window sticker, I found mine wadded up beneath one of the seats. Now it is stored in my maintenance documents binder

[@MrHowdi]

There is no better sound that the sound of a socket wrench at work

[@tommeeboy]

Hard to believe you're restoring this, the interior is already crazy clean!

[@Vesper778]

Finally someone who appreciate a 240sx and not ripping the whole car for drifting and stuff

[@Leo-lr4eq]

Thank you so much for keeping its original character

[@Metalcop5150]

Window sticker archaeology = totally cool!! I love stuff like that.

[@marino4691]

install a turbo, downpipe and a flap controlled exhaust (so you can enjoy sound and also drive around quietly) i like the interior because it is kept original but made really nice

[@laurentmoeller5609]

was literally just about to be on this step for my E36 M3 (98 Vert) much more confident now not going in blind folded and going to side with going with second skin as for no other options seem to compare. noico, fat mat etc

[@xFALENOx]

Dude, that's my dream car, i love the one you got and i love you for taking that much care on it, amazing, is what she deserves

[@aumkar2]

Kyle, what a Legend. Congrats brother!

[@RubenLopez-oy7lj]

While other people are turning their 240s into drift cars and gutting them your out their fully restoring yours. This was the right decision!

[@DuTchReacTionZ]

That moment when it always rains in your country and you have 3 mint s13 dashboards lol.

[@zimzar]

He detail going in is insane. I love these videos

[@chrisSVT]

started off slow an by the end I am excited to see the next installment. Your car is very clean!

[@SpudEater]

This is what I want to do with my Dakota, it was my grandfather's truck and could use a nice refresh and I have the Subaru to drive around in the mean time

[@m1munoz]

Love how this car is being restored, want to do the same with my 96 2 door Tahoe, thanks for the videos

[@TheBlake1191]

Finaly someone who's making a s13 look better instead of those weird ass posers that destroy these and try to sell that shit for way more than its worth. Looks so much better restored and saved than anything else.

[@NXYZ505]

Really happy for you, the car looks really good

[@mentallyhandicappedpoptart2649]

Kyle I think a car you'd really enjoy would be a W126 Mercedes. They are very desirable and very nice. They come in gasoline and deisel (don't know which one you'd prefer) but they make great project cars and are fun to drive.

[@Alysavos-rd4tp]

damn that thing was so well maintained that it looks like it just left the factory...too bad cars like these are not going to be made anymore....good luck with the build...!

[@shineything4444]

this is what i want to do with my jeep! make it as nice as this beautiful example

[@SecondSkinAudio]

We've got great Jeep Kits store.secondskinaudio.com/jeep-wrangler-package/

[@MuteCrimson]

love the direction youre going with this project kyle!

[@worldwearyposer]

Nice job. Good to see more of an OEM+ interior for a change. I would move the amp to be on the back of the back seats just above the sub. You'll only see it when you can see the sub and it doesn't take much usable room since it would be in a row with the sub and roughly the same size.

[@Mustangkid1993]

I was wondering where the 240 went! Glad to see another update!

[@satishkanuri]

1:25 ...30 years no repairs for doors great...by the way congrats for one million subscribers..may b I was late

[@MuzaffarKhan1]

Hello: My friend. I am your subscriber and fan. I have been watching and enjoying your videos for a long time. Sometimes, I watch your certain videos more than one time. I really really enjoyed your this 340SX Part 1 and 2 videos. Thank you for the videos.

[@saabkyle04]

Thank you for watching!!

[@WodernWarfareTree]

The before looked pretty good and clean enough to me

[@michaelthomson713]

Nice to see a 180 that's not a drift car for a change

[@MoAV15]

I love the outro similar to TV watch coming up next.

[@boomy818]

The only 240 thats getting love right now lol

[@jetjazz05]

That's the first rule of going to the junkyard... immediately salvage for every type of clip and fastener you can find lol. I'm pretty lucky in that I can get most of the OEM clips and unusual plastic pieces still... but they're stupid expensive. I did my alternator for example and the bolt holding the mounting bracket to the block is fairly unique, buying it from the manufacturer was $10 for ONE bolt. Way better to find a good quality one that's not messed up in the junkyard, usually if you show them a handful of those fasteners they'll just charge you like $5 for all of it or whatever.

[@Aaron-ic1kk]

You make this shit look so easy, nice video Kyle.

[@DXNIII42O]

hey Kyle, it would be cool too if you remove the backseats and Put the carpet in there and then you could put there the speakers in

[@Dan-up6do]

That window sticker was quite the find.

[@RealKaiserBelial]

I love this series love your direction with this car

[@chrisphillips9884]

YES ANOTHER 240 VIDEO!!!

[@va_innovations]

Get one of those small antennas that dont bounce around like the one you have. Great Car!!!

[@benjaminharrah4558]

You should flick the dash just to keep it from cracking but also will add a layer of strength and it keeps the sun off of it

[@abewright4584]

Good videos I’ve had the same clapped out s13 for about 3 years now and I wanna do a full restore like this.

[@jabonky]

Love this series of videos. Can't wait for the final video. Great job!

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks pal!

[@lamontisabigdummy]

Good to see there wasn't a trip down the AutoZone accessories aisle

[@jhuntosgarage]

Nice work Kyle!!

[@bhumiriady]

@Saabkyle04 Very good video as always! The installation of the new carpet and sound deadening may look complex, but it's worth the effort! The new carpets made the interior look fresh and the sound deadening significantly reduced unwanted noise. Good job!

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks buddy!

[@bhumiriady]

@Saabkyle04 No problem! (^_-)

[@RobertKohut]

Love the sticker story!!

[@youngswhtx1780]

Looks nice , I bet it sounds nice when you on the road

[@Kxji]

Always waiting for the videos of the 240.

[@saabkyle04]

The big brake install video will be epic, my favorite one yet! It'll be the next 240SX video, probably within the next couple weeks or so.

[@Kxji]

Looking forward to it! Also your car has more sound deadening material than a Rolls Royce 😂👌🏼

[@saabkyle04]

Hahahaha XD

[@saucceboss562]

Kyle goes over the top! Hopefully I get to do this to my 240

[@Q80superman]

Free Mode free stuff free upgrades well done
