Nice. I always liked verts. They're too heavy though, and auto to boot.

Auto 240=fail. LOL.

1) Why does Auto 240=fail?

2) If you read carefully, the OP has had a 5 speed swap done but running Auto ECU

DriftToy, if that's a stage 3 package, I must be at like stage 7, haha. Just a small thing, didn't your 240 come w/ an auto ecu stock? why would that be included in an upgrade package when you did the 5 speed swap - could have just left the ecu?

All seals and gaskets - talking about head gaskets, intake mani gaskets, timing chain gaskets, etc? If so, sweet deal - basically an engine rebuild?

From what it looks like, the "drifttoy stage 3 package" is just something you are calling what you did on your car - i.e. your username is drifttoy & the website looks more like a personal site than a shop site.

stage 3 package... haha, i'm entertained, sounds need for speed'ish

I'd love to prove you wrong. Which track shall we take it to? Or would you prefer to keep it in a straight line?

To answer some of your questions let me explain who i am first. I have been working on 240s for over 12 years and people seem to like my work. Since i only do this as a hobby i only put cars together for certain people and only during my days off since i make my living on a different line of work. DriftToy.com is a site i created on my own to document these projects and to have a little fun. The cars you see in the "projects" section are the cars i have put together over the years. Most of them i built for those special people.

Now since i needed to give these people prices on the 240 they wanted i came up with stages or "DriftToy Stages". You guys can flame me for that but i think it sounds cool. So here they are:

Stage 1 240SX: ($1,600)- Basic tune up (cap & rotor, plugs, and wires) - Cone air filter- Performance Muffler

Stage 2 240SX: ($2,500)- Tune up (Performance wires, plugs, cap & rotor)- Cold Air intake (After MAFS)- Performance cat back Exhaust- Electric fans- Fluids flush- Auto ECU

Stage 3 240SX: ($3,000 - $3,500)- Oil seals & Gaskets (Crank seals, Oil pan gasket, Valve Cover Gasket, Intake and Exhaust manifold gaskets)- Tune up (Performance wires, plugs, cap & rotor),belts, and fuel filter- Cold Ram Air (sits on passenger side bumper vent)- Performance cat back exhaust- Electric fans- Relocated battery- Fluids flush- Auto ECU- Custom valve cover- Performance clutch

Those prices are for the whole car with a decent shell and it does not matter if its a hatch, coupe or vert. Sometimes i do include a few little extra things but it all depends on the person the car is for.

The picture on my first comment is the last car i put together for this year and that is the owner of the car in the driver seat.

I almost bought one from jrsink a while back but we couldnt agree on the price. This one i bought from some guy in Spring hill. It needs lots of work. It runs rough but at least it runs.
