well i haven't posted up here about my project since i started it over a year ago and i knew nothing about cars. since then thanks to the many people of the WWW, these forums, Jon Powell with Motorsports studio, Kenny at RB motoring, Chris Riggs at Underground motorsports and all the other places i have managed to gain knowledge in the car im having built and cars in general. so to all of them i would like to say thanks for all your help. Oh and if anyone is ever looking for someone to do a swap for them Jon powell is the man. i started out trying to do my whole car project myself in my best friends house...didn't work out to well plus i had to leave NY and come out to CA for college. well thanks to Chris Riggs he helped me find Jon Powell who since has taken on my project car and all the added ideas and plans that have gone with it. what started out as a simple Rb swap which led to a S15 front end conversion and a interior that would never have matched the same level as the rest of the car (almost riced out) has developed into "Project Overkill" anything that can be put over the edge has. this car project started out with a $10,000 and has since exploided to a $30,000-35,000 project including the money lost to Flashoptions...although i not 95% of it back....nice to know some Lawyers in Asia....haha....but anyways as i type this the car is about 30-40 Days away from completion the parts list is longer then ever and the finished project will be posted up for everyone to see. basically you will be looking at a 1989 240sx coupe with an rb25det putting down about 450 max HP, it would also seem that about the only original parts left on the car will be the shell of it...haha. but ya im not going to list all the parts till the project is done but i have to say im damn happy it's getting finished after all this time. so to all new people and old good luck to you on your projects and i'll try and keep up with what others are doing help out where i can whether info or parts prices.

stay safe in iraq man. jon is the man and my car would be the reason he hasn't gotten to you haha. the paint scheme was partially jon's and partial my idea...so i guess all great minds think alike haha and the digital image was created by JP's brother. i'll have to ask Jon about your car see what you got in it maybe check it out when i pick mine up

That picture is a LITTLE misleading...the wing isnt gonna be that big, my brother did the wing in the wrong proportion to the car.

The actual wing can be seen at http://www.importfan.com/index...=2053

What a huge job this car is turning into, Project Overkill is an understatement.
