Figured I'd post this here as well as every place else so you all can share in the bandwagony goodness. The car is a 1993 240sx with roughly 147k on the clock. I got it for the scant price of 100 bucks from a friend because of a blown transmission (automatic).


Here she is when I got her...so stock, so virginal.


This is the stock mill. She really kept good care of it as the valve cover I painted 3 years ago is still going strong.


I didn't like the old front end or wheels, that had to be changed.


Staggered offset. 17x7 front, 17x9 rear.


Wrenching away...my friends are great.


The motor is now 6 bolts from coming out.


Roughly sitting down on the coilovers. It's on jackstands in the front and ramps in the rear, so I don't have an idea of the real fender gap yet but it should be the same as the old camo car (which is where I got the suspension from).


Of course, this is the valve cover that's going on the new motor.


I'll keep this thread updated as the motor should be here this weekend...or it damn well better be here.

 

cool, keep it updated..... why not use the gravity wheels?

 

They're Sean's. My garage was just a temporary storage unit for them.

 

you know you want to throw the ls1 in there =)

 

craig keep those 5star wheels for backups. i think they are the single most played out wheel in the world.

 

kinda true...^


now get that damn motor from that dude

 

I agree with the wheels. They weren't exactly what I wanted but they'll do for now and actually clear some decent brakes. I was NOT going to accept sunken battleship SE's on coilovers for this thing.

 

This car is so fucking clean.. even Under the car is cleaner than some new cars.
that Valvecover Picture really doesn't do it justice.

 

I want friends like yours, I could use a $100 s13.

Looks good Craig, will look better on the floor with the SR.

 

craig will not be going "on the floor" lol

more of a tasteful, performace yet economical drop
