They are building a S14 on Horsepower TV. Of course LS swap and looks like they are doing a rear end swap of some kind. You know the 240sx has made it main stream now!

I dunno about going mainstream, but it's nice to see 240sx's whose body panels are not held together with zipties and not beaten to death drifting.

Too bad they chose to go with an S14. They're just so goofy-looking, I can't see them garnering interest from the non-240 crowd. An S13 at least has Z-like looks and typical fastback coupe bodylines...I can see it doing a better job of grabbing attention from people who usually ignore Japanese cars.

I think mainstream was the wrong word. I would say that is should be just like Bubb1 said, not a beat "JDM drift tyte" car. There is a lot of things any car can do, it is just nice to see it being elevated more than a civic in certain circles.
