[cyrus240sx]

mmmm... that is a clean 240..... any pictures of the whole car?

[JayPat83]

nothing of the whole car yet. i'll do that once it is running and out of the garage, probably before it goes to the paint shop.

[JayPat83]

thanks for the compliments

[DriftFasterThanGrip]

That is a very nice, AND CLEAN 14 you've got there. I LOVE IT!!!!

[JayPat83]

thanks!

[coupe4me]

Is that a brand new engine? Everything on it looks factory fresh.

[JayPat83]

brand new, 0 miles. anyone that wants to see her in person can come visit me in ATL. transmission isn't new though. we just cleaned it up real nice.

JayPati want to see this car in person!!! i go to atlanta frequently. hit me up on aim: getnrowdyoh go to batlground and get that thing tuned, they have awd dyno. they are in smyrna nowhttp://www.batlgroud.com404-881-4331its where i get my sr work done if i cant do it.

[s14_girl]

Everything looks hot to death! It's going to look so amazing when it's all done. Keep posting pics as you put everything together!

[eliterit]

so u ordered the motor new from nissan? how much did that cost if i may ask?

[JayPat83]

yeah, i was going to go to battleground's party yesterday but i was too busy on my car. i think everyone had a blast though. they will definitly be the first to dyno my car, being that they are the closest profesional shop to me. i'll probably be getting Tony Shultz to tune the car though cause are setups are very similar. he's the only one i know that got better gas mileage by installing a turbo kit on his 240

[JayPat83]

thanks for all the compliments. wish i could say the same for your old S14 now but oh well, its gone to a better place i guess. Ahhhh, Nissan Heaven!!!! yes, i'll be posting pics every weekend i think. that is the only time i get to work on it. the damn people that we bought the manifold from keep d*$%ing us around and pushing back delivery date. but thats all we be waiting on, im mean we are waiting on. bye the way S14_girl, you get an insurance settlement amount yet?

[574-240sx]

Looks very good.

[JayPat83]

well let me put it to you this way, i think with the forged pistons, shotpeened and hardened rods, valve job, cometic head gasket, Boost Designs manifold and downpipe, turbo and wastegate i have about $5000 in the motor alone. then all the other crap too.

[JayPat83]

thank you, wish you were close enough to see it when she is done. i'll be posting plenty of pics though. you have any pics of your KA-T 574-240sx?

[tpeezy]

god damn this is a NICE buildup. how much do you expect the KA-T to make? i see your exhaust is ****ing HUGE. i want to hear soundclips of that thing roaring when this is done. congrats man, how much are you spending for everything total? somewhere around $15,000 i'd say including car right?

[JayPat83]

just over $15,000 before it goes to the paint shop not including the cost of the S14. in the past 2 months i have spent $9,200 on it. i'll be posting pics, videos and all once completed. just bought a nice video recorder. and it's built for mad power but i am shooting for 350 whp daily.

[JayPat83]

i see your exhaust is ****ing HUGE. i want to hear soundclips of that thing roaring when this is done.

with the turbo and this exhaust it should actually be quiet. i have heard this same exhaust on a similarly built KA-T before. it is actually the car i got the exhaust from. it was quiet and he had a 3" test pipe and i am running a 3" cat.

nope, not yet, i wish. She has Nationwide insurance and they're not making things easy, but we've talked to a lawyer. If it comes down to it, we'll sue to get the money. In the meantime, I'm having fun making plans :-). I'll definitely keep checking back to see your new pictures. I hope they finally get that manifold to you!

[JayPat83]

10-4 buddy

[Neejay]

Thats a monster of a car man. Damn nice. I wanna see it in person. I sent you an email about an hour ago. I live in rex and I work at the Kohl's right there in stockbridge

I got AIM: KraziBlkboi or email: [email protected]

[JayPat83]

awesome

[sensibleS13driver]

wow, you are biulding one beautiful car.

[gabossie]

Wow, can't believe how this project has come along. I remember when you first moved to GA and just complained about having no friends or money in a new city. So glad things have worked out for you and the car looks awesome!

[JayPat83]

yeah, its been pretty crazy. funny how much things have changed for me in just the past six months.

[Juujai]

your car looks pretty good

carbon fiber doors too? =)

i think you should paint over the carbon fiber too i mean it cf looks expensive but i think its cleaner when its a stock look or you can just go pure cf and thatll be pretty clean. gotta handle some wheel spacers though. good work though looks good so far

[JayPat83]

gotta handle some wheel spacers though.

what does that mean? not there aren't any spacers on my wheels.
