i thought that i would just put this out to see what kind of responses i would get. No more than a year ago i noticed a 91 240sx coupe sitting outside of my mechanics shop for like 3 months, just chillin. well i have been wanting an extra car for so long just to work on and modify, especially a 240 and decided that i would ask my mechanic whos it was. Well one day i got fired from my job and was riding home all pissed off and sh## and in a sudden moment i pulled over to the shop parking lot to see why the car had been sitting there for so long. I asked my mechanic, and he told me that he was getting ready to take it to the junk yard becasue the owner did not want to mess with the blown engine, i thought to myself (well well). To make a long story short, i obtained the number of the owner, phoned him and in less than 3 hours later i was at the bank getting the title noterized. And all for 50 dollars!!!!!!!!!!! can you believe that? Now i have the project car ive always wanted without burning a hole in my pocket. Go figure! now that i look at it I have never been so happy to have gotten fired from my job in my entire life.:icesangel :ylsuper :eek:

since it is my project car i am taking things slowly and planning everything out. However, i will be in the market for an sr20det this summer when i get my summer job in Baltimore, so i am looking forward to that. I already have the front end dissassembled ready for an s13 conversion an have the old engine out. Now i am just trying to find a shop in North Carolina where i can get the swap done. Does anyone know? For suspension i am going with Tanabe drift specific coilovers, and so much more i cannot list it all. However, like i said, this is a project car so there is no telling when i will have all of it done. I am just looking forward to getting the engine in and tuning the suspension for competitive drifting in the future.
