Standardidiot's S14 Build Thread

[StandardIdiot1]

I started this build in March of 09. I have owned three 240sx so far in my life. I have always wanted to do a full build and have a car i can take to the track and road-race. I actually bought this 95 240sx with the sr20det in the car with a blown t28 for 3000 bucks, so it was definitely a deal. I rented a two car garage and brought all my tools there and hooked up a compressor and jumped on it.i wanted to make sure that i did everything the right way and didn't do anything i would regret.I went to UTI and used to work at dealers, and now work at a steel fabrication shop. I doo all my work(except for machining) myself and take pride in it. If anyone has a question feel free to ask.

I started by pulling out the motor and stripping everything out of the engine bay. then I went on and removed all suspension components.

I then went and stitch welded the strut towers and other panels in the engine bay, then paint and finshing.

This is pretty much everything from valve cover to oil pan.I will post all of my other mods as i complete them in the next couple of weeks.

I will put more picks up as I keep rolling on.

In the mean time, here re some picks of my 350z. It has a custom gt35r turbo kit built by me and tuned by Vinny Ten from vinnytenracing.com

Well done, nice work, I love the attention to detail, and it good to see a real build thread with nice progress.

Cant wait to see more.

Im definitely going to put a roll cage in it, I just have to find the SCCA specs for it. Im on the fence weather to completely gut it. I probably will since it will be a track car and for an occasional Saturday night cruise, and plus white gutted cars with white roll cages look amazing.

Thanks for the compliments.
