This chassis is a 1991 Nissan 240SX Hatchback.

 

On or around July 2008, I began tearing the car down, which was completely stock at the time. Its a tedious and hard job, but its recommended to build a powerful and competitive drift car.

Started by tearing out the stock interior, down to the bear metal. Once all that was removed, I proceeded to get the black sticky tar, otherwise known as the sound deadening, out of the car as well. If you ever run into this, I recommend using dry ice, break it up and spread it all over the sound deadening, once it hardens you begin to chisel it off the metal of the car.

The car also had tint on the windows, so that had to come off as well.

Air conditioning and Heating units were removed.

As for the engine bay, the stock KA motor was immediately ripped out. Now, just like all old and beaten cars, the engine bay had tons of oil and mud caked all over the place. So many hours of scrubbing and washing was put in to get the engine bay nice and clean. Especially ready for paint.

The car should put down around 270-300 horsepower to the wheels. Hopefully, once its all said and done. Maybe more, if I acquire some engine components to put it safely at 350HP.

Here's a list of the car's current parts:
