So I have not yet introduced myself properly. The names Jon, I'm from the Midwest and have been into rear wheeled Japanese sports cars for several years now. Along those years I have picked up numerous S chassis. Of all the 240's I have owned this Zenki is by far my favorite. Hints why I've held on to this one for 4 years counting. I don't have all the photos of the "build" but yall get the idea. Here is a break down of the car and also a few photos of its progression since owning it. Positive and negative feedback is sure to come, anyways thanks for taking a look.

Good washing.

Cleaned up some wiring and removed the Silvia emblem from the grille.

I got a NavaN grille right as winter came. Through the winter I picked up a set of SSR Gartmaier's 18x9 +32 18x9 +0

After its winter slumber I flushed the radiator and discovered I had developed a leak in one of my hard lines running to the turbo so I ordered some braided lines and installed them.

Thanks. The vanity plate has been removed several months back now. Just a normal new plate, I hated the farm scene license plate we had here in Ohio.

Also through the winter down time I picked up a Cusco front strut bar and tension rod support bar for a super good deal.

I also got my hands on an authentic NaVaN front bumper and Recaro Pole Position seat.

Then spring arrived. Here's a few pictures of my dads car after a local car show we attended. His is a 1963 Buick Riviera 465 Wildcat. All original minus one respray in the 80's and a set of glasspacks in the back.

Threw on my strut bar and tension rod support bar.

I didnt do much to my car for a while besides daily drive it. Then an old forum here in Ohio that has since been obsolete had a track day which would be my first ever. The car handled my abuse and was wanting more. I had no issue whatsoever with the car, not even overheating. I was the kid that started from the streets with drifting and my first track day really opened my eyes. It brought my passion for my car even higher. Driving my car to its "full potential" for the first time and not having to worry about cops, other cars. raccoon's so on and so on from the open roads to having a closed race track was purely amazing. My driving skills increased sooooo much from just one day of track driving. Not to be rambling and falling off subject here are the few photos I got from my first track experience.

My class, the other class driving was about the same size.

I went on an aero spending splurge and picked up some authentic NaVaN side skirts, grille and rear valances also a 96 grille.

And then I attended my second track day.
