Hello everybody! I am Mat. I live in beautiful California! Just graduated from University. I work as an electrician. I have been looking for a nice build for a while now and finally found something that should be fun. A 240SX!! (Couldn't have guessed that one, eh?) Well, Its not in the BEST condition (missing a 'few' things) but its PERFECT for a full rebuild and the body work is very well. The guy who was selling said he was gonna rebuild it but had a baby on the way and doesn't have the time or the money for it so he sold it for cheap. I got it for V$2500.

So my plan is to build it up so its drivable (Engine, Suspension...) and then make it look nice. To start off I found a fully built redtop SR20DET for V$3500. A little more than I wanted to pay but it is fully rebuiult (with performance parts) and it runs MINT. he wanted to sell it with a car but we made a deal for just the engine. I also picked up some 326 Power shocks and coilovers for V$1200. I had an extra battery laying around so I threw that in there.

Alright so today I went to my friends 'private' junkyard, who has LOADS of JDM parts, cars, engines, etc. I found MINT windows for V$250 (of course I put stickers on them... More HP). Found an old Nardi steering wheel for V$30, which I polished up to make it look good. He gave me a stock seat for FREE because he knew I needed one. I got a nice new twin pipe shotgun exhaust for V$100. Fits the car very nicely. The last thing(s) I got was... NEW RIMS!! I got Hoshino Impuls! They are 16 x 10 all 'round. I bought them for V$1000 which i don"t think is too bad at all because they are NOT reps and already came mounted with tires. I'm somewhat upset that i didn't find headlights or taillights but I'll find some eventually. But for now I got it on the road and driving and it feels SOO nice! Also waiting on a custom license plate, should probably come in tomorrow. Super excited for what I have planned...
  GOD DAMN they look so clean!  And of course I ALREADY did a burnout... I cant keep anything nice haha!  This post was edited by therealkingmat (2017-02-23 02:35, ago) |

Its been a while... But you know how it is looking for a new car! Good thing is i found one! I found an '05 Nissan 350z! Like brand new, and only 60 000 kms on it! Got it for cheap too, V$5000! It has brand new tires, new BC Racing coilovers, and Willwood brakes. I like it and I think I'm going to have lots of fun with it.
