Updated Thread Intro (04-19-16):
This thread is about my long-term 240SX project on the road to becoming my competitive track car. This thread began while I was still in college so updates have been slow as funds became available, with the trend being relatively the same after I started working after graduation. The thread will be picking up quite a bit soon, as time and funds are slowly becoming a little more readily available. It's time to get serious!
The thread starts out covering my journey with my 92 240sx coupe, which will be coming to a close soon. I will be switching everything over to my 96 S14 within the next few months, so towards the end of this thread you will see a new chassis! I am building this car to be competitive in the NASA TT1 class regionally here in Arizona. I will also be keeping an eye on the global time attack rule book to make sure the car stays withing the limited RWD class, so I can explore possibilities with that series as well. I hope you enjoy browsing my thread; I have learned a lot over the years, and this thread documents a lot of it. This is my oldest build thread on any forum, and I will always continue to update it. Please leave feedback on more current events and if you have any questions on older posts, please quote them and I'll do my best to answer quickly. Thanks for taking a look!

Original Intro: 06-10-08
This thread is about my long-term 240SX project. My goal is a fully built bottom end, with a decently done up top end all supporting a GT3071R Twin Scroll turbo setup. I'd like to be close to 500rwhp with a very smooth power band. The car is being built for the eventual goal to be a pure track car (as in road racing). However, since I am not rich, and I do not have tons of funding, it will be a general purpose race car until my ultimate goal is achieved (drag racing, drifting, auto-x, track days, etc). This car will most likely be a 10-15 year project (I started it in 2003).
