Whats up everyone? I acquired my 240 about three months ago. Traded my chevy malibu (which i basically got for free) for it. It's in decent condition runs great. This site has been a big help on repairing a lot of small problems the car had. Anyways on to the details.

91 240sx-S14 ka24de engine-XTD six puck clutch-Tien camber plates-Kyb agx struts-Skunk 2 springs-Header (not sure on the brand)-Aerospeed muffler 3" all the way through-Megan rear lower tie bar

This is the car the day i got it



The engine



And finally the present state of the car





My plans as of right now are just finishing up the small things the car needs. Then progressing on towards closed diff and a few suspension mods to make it slide better.

Lol every one notices the third brake light. I did tape everything off but the third brake light had already been painted over by whoever sprayed it black. I'm supposed to be getting one pretty soon though so that should be fixed.

Coils are definitely on the list and wheels are possibly in the process right now. As for boost i'm still debating. If i do boost it it will be a while. Right now i'm trying to get used to sliding it, got a couple drift events coming up in my region. I'm just gonna progress the car as i progress my driving i don't want to dump the extra power into it until i get better at sliding with the stock engine.
