Hey guys. I'm new to the forum. I have been a fan of drifting for a long time and a fan of the 240's. I finally lucked up about a month and a half ago and got one. A week later I got another one. So I figured I would post up pics of my work in progress and get to talking to some of yall because I know I'll be on this site alot searching for answers... anyways here's the pics so far.

When it was dropped off







Then after I started some work on it.











And I kept working on the body. kept forgeting to take alot of pics along the way..

I plan to get a body kit. KA to go back in it. A set of 18 x 8.5f and 18 x 9.5r from my buddy. he has 4 240's coilovers. and paint it white.

I plan to drop a v8 in my other one and run a set of weld drag wheels. small cowl hood and put a cage in it.

The SRT is kinda stock lol.

As far as performance.It's got Stage 1 ecu, exhaust work, K & N Filter, Kinetics WGA, MBC, Wires, Plugs, Mopar clutch and BOV. I'm sure theres something I'm not thinking of. It has run a few 13.2's on street tires spinning and wheel hop

Dude the red primer/satin is hot, just my opinion.

But what kind of paint did you use on the "underhood"?

I would stay away from the cowl hood as much as possible...But check out Hybrids section, plenty of 240sx-V8 coverage....

Best of luck, and thank you for saving that 240!Keep the updates comming

it's a slow work in progress.. parts are a little more expensive for it.. but the rear end was completely rebuilt a couple weekends ago with new brakes, bearings and bushing throughout. and the front end was completed this weekend with all new bushings, bearing, spindles, shocks and converted to disc brakes... should be rolling this weekend for the first time in just over 2 years.. then off to the body shop for the 1/4's

I'm not to sure on all the parts he used... but it was ARP studs, 8.5:1 pistons, rods, mild cams and he ported his head and intake himself and slapped on a gt30 i beleive... got it tuned and it put down 530hp.. he said he has a little under 3gs in everything...

After looking at the Kouki thread I'm seriously thinking about converting it when i get my body kit.... they look so good..
