Here is my 1989 Nissan 240sx:

Goal Reliable daily drift car. Just a basic boring build.

I got her almost 2 months ago for $1200. This my third S13. I however sort of regret buying the car due to the high miles (216,000) and it was quite poorly taken care of. To be perfectly honest I have not owned a 240sx for 4 years and this buy was purely impulsive. I was searching for a S14 but for some reason I just had to have this car. I now look back and think I made the right decision.

Unfortunately, I have no pics of my car when I first got her but she was bone stock with gaudy pep boy's rims.

Why is it called Project Rookie?

Because my mechanical skills are still growing and I plan on doing all the work myself. I plan on learning as much as
I can with this car. So be prepared for tons of Rookie questions.

Well enough BS here is some pictures:

I'll take more pics when I get more stuff done.

So far:
C8 sport coilovers (I should do a review)
Cusco Sway Bars (Uninstalled)
Sparco Rev (Uninstalled)
Ebay exhaust
Injen Intake (Removed)
Magnecore wires
Enkie Meshies (Too small)
JDM Kouki Tail lights
JDM Zenki Signal lights
Cusco Drift knob

In the coming future:
Rebuilt KA24E with stronger internals (NO BOOST)
Kaaz 2 way LSD
Cusco Roll cage
Energy Suspension Bushing set
EBC yellow stuff brake pads
New Brake Rotors (Not sure which yet)
New Clutch and flywheel (Not sure which yet)
15x8 black Rota RB
Nardi Deep Corn
Takata Harness
Wangan Spoiler

I will probably buy a rebuilt block so I can get some seat time and build this one elsewhere.

Well I guess that is it for now!

I am pretty bored as you can tell hahaha

Also I got sick of scrapping my sway bar everywhere so I raised the front more.
