Car: 90 240sx coupe

Post

I just realized here i am, and never formally introduced my self or my car. My name is Garrett, an thi sis my 1990 240sx coupe. I picked up this car in 2007 never knowing nothing about 240's, drifting or even heard the name spoken in my life. The car was free given to me by my school teacher. becuase it did not run, the body was beaten up and the car had many problems it spent the first year in a repair shop. after i had finally got my car back my parents got me a paint job for my birthday last year.

I later on bought a second 1990 240sx non running hatch back for 400 dollars, this car had a 5 speed in it. I took many parts form this car to complete mine, the entire rear sub frame assembly came in handy becuase the one form the coupe was damaged form an accident. it was very mistreated and did not receive the love and care it deserved. sadly, i had to scrap it after.

ive put much time and work into this car most of the work done by me, i really have come to love the 240's and the lineage behind them. i plan for more upgrades and a test run at the track in the very near future.

Greetings!

Nice clean looking car there. Before anybody says anything about ride height, I'll bet your car drives better than the majority of cars on this site.

You get

it was pretty sloppy when i got it. car had a accident in the driver side rear quarter panel, which blew the shock, jacked up all the suspension linkage and damaged the sub frame. i replaced all of that and put in some polyurethane sub-frame bushing and had the body work done with the paint job. it handles SOOOO much better now and feels much more sold in the rear
