sup guys my name is Garrett, ppl call me Uncle Buck.... i was introduced to this forum from my buddy Adam Hall aka Krazy Squirel thats on this here forum!... anyways i recently aquired a 93 240sx convert. from a fellow member Popndrop... i traded him my 90 DA Integra.... now i know what some of you are thinking, "oh great we have another Honda kid that is joining the 240 bandwagon so he can drift" well your wrong.... ive been a huge fan of these cars since i was in HS, my buddy had a red S13 hatch.... oh good times picking on young kids while racing lol.... anywho.... i love all sorts of cars... from lowriders, imports, exotics, 4x4's to muscle cars.... i enjoy putting around thru the hills and autox.... i cant wait to see how this 240 handles vrs. my 89 honda prelude si 4ws.... well enough about me time to show you pics of the car......

my future plans for this car is to go with a R32 front clip swap, Ka-T just to get me to 325ish HP.... repaint the whole car either white or black... still undecided as iam still doing research..... but other then that cant wait to do some more searching on this forum and hearing from you guys and your ideas

325HP from a Ka-T? Heh. Have fun.

Welcome to the nice part of NICO. Paint it in police cruiser colors.

Where did this idea come from?

Anyways, welcome. We've chatted all ready, so no need for a long hello.

If you're interested in KA-T, be sure to hit up the appropriate forum. On a side note, I've got a set of modified stock rods that would work perfect for a sub-400HP KA that I need to sell. Hit me up if you're interested.

This was all over the place.http://www.solomonia.com/blog/...-ever/

And there's one s13 hatchback painted with police cruiser paint scheme somewhere.

BTW, what is that bottle right next to booster?

That is one clean ride my friend. I am not crazy about the rims, but we all have different tastes. Nice Vert !! I wish mine was in that shape... and mine is pretty clean.

hey thanks for all the friendly welcome guys....

bottle of lucas oil treatment..... pics are from previous owner (weather sucks here right now for photoshoot but will get some soon)

iam not in a huge hurry currently to mod this car, i want to fix a few small issues (oil pan gasket, starter and window seals).... car seams to run just fine for me to tear into it right now.... plus i want to sell my other car so i can make a road trip next month to Kentucky to see the folks.... and i was told to hit atlanta and go to The Varsity....

also the rims i was told they are off of the S12?? anywho Adam stole the 7 spoke (Flippn bastard lol)... but soon as money rolls in and the girlfriend says its ok to mod it more (hears whips cracking)

As Chi says, the vert handles like a sloppy vag.
