If you need any help with the S chassis you can bring it over to my shop my dude, I've got S chassis experience and some free space. I like your ratchet style, I got shunned for that stuff a little while ago but you're making me wanna bring it back on the S13 :))

Added 1 hour 9 minutes later:

I made an executive decision that I've put too much time and money into making my S13 looking good to go back to it's starting stages again. So I did what any normal stupid person would do and started looking online for a new S chassis. I right away found this... well, take a look at what I've bought.





This is my 1989 Money Pit 240SX with a 13B S5 from a 1989 RX7, which is of course non turbo.

I bought it for what it's worth and didn't try to low ball the guy as he already gave me a good deal for the work put into this car. He sold it as he had his fun with it and wanted to move on.

From what he's told me, this is a 240SX coupe with a full S13 interior conversion (hence why it's right hand drive even though it was born an american market car)

The engine was originally incredibly wimpy and if i'm honest, I know little about rotary engines so I'm just going by what he told me. It was factory about 160HP and is now roughly 195. He also gave me a turbo kit for the car as well as the missing front end bits.

For as dangerous and ridiculous as it looks, this car has had some serious work with real consideration. He didn't just slap coils on the car and make it as low as possible, he's spent time making sure it won't just fall apart. Which is pretty cool for an S Chassis owner.

He was telling me that it took a while for him to get this engine working with the car, but that he felt it was totally worth it. After taking it for a drive around the block, I could agree with that. All the cars I own currently are at least 300HP, but being in something running less than 200 HP, I really enjoyed it. Once this car revs to 7K you can't help but laugh to yourself about how loud and ridiculous it really is. So now I own it and I'm going to keep it to it's roots.

Safely stupid.
