Hey welcome to my page. Well this is my 240sx. I got it for about $2500. It's a HICAS model which means it has a limited slip differential, abs brakes, and 4 wheel steering. The motor was rebuilt when I bought it. It only had 3,000 miles on it. It's a KA24DE motor. The body is in great shape. All the car needed was a nice paint job.
What it looked like when I first got it.
I installed a cold air intake on it which helped it breathe better and improved some acceleration. Below are some pics only days after I got it repainted.
I added some clear turn signals.
And the latest addition to the car: BEFORE....
And AFTER...
180sx taillights! Love them!
Some pics at night...
That's all for now, but next thing I will be doing is making it turbo! It will be KA-T. Will have it done by end of July.
Update (6/8/08): I should be getting some real kouki taillights tomorrow for my car. The ones I currently have turned out to be garbage.
(8/3/08): The new kouki taillights are on now I just haven't got a pic with them yet so bare with me.
(10/27/08) Sorry I haven't been on here in a while been very busy. Finally got a pic with the REAL kouki taillights and an engine bay shot. (I painted the valve cover myself).
My car was having issues starting about last month. It would crank but not fire. Figured out my timing was off so I adjusted it and seemed to do the trick until about a few weeks later it did the same thing. Found out my idler pulley was very loose! tightened it to torque specs and now it starts up every time. It even feels a little more responsive on acceleration and no more timing chain rattle!
I know you guys are wondering if I'm ever going to throw a snail on it but I'm still not sure yet. I want to, but it just costs so much money. Plus I really want to get a place of my own. I'll keep you guys updated.
(12/27/08) Alright people I'm going to go through with boosting my KA. Just ordered an intercooler kit tonight. Should have it boosted by end of summer.
Just a sneak peek of what I've been spending my money on lately lol. Almost have all the parts! just need a downpipe (going to have to be custom made) and a fuel pump! Kit is coming along nicely. :)
