ok guys, here are is my 97 240. I "owned" it for about 2 years now, but i just got it into my hands in the past two weeks.
I got it salvaged, so i fixed it up enough to get a rebuilt title, so i could get it here. (I bought it in Canada). It appears to have be a sponsored sound car, bc there was this 240 display in the back, with some polk audio stuff i nthe car along with the decals. He had some crazy alarm system that aprears to have controled the Windows/lights/sunroof, a molded in TV screen with all this shit, so when it was "totaled" he cut all the wires, so now i am essentially fucked unless i redo everything. Headlights dont work(xcept highs) taillights, windows, sunroof. But the brake lights, reverse lights, and inner light by the sunroof works. I am going to install a new body harness instead of trying to figure out all the gremlins.
Here are my plans for this car.
After in done my accord, in the next year i get this car back to completley good stock running order. Fix all the little shit thats wrong with the car.
Then after im done that, complete suspension overhaul, Springs/Shocks, sway bar, Strut bar, camber kit, brakes, SS lines, Every single bushing, plus everything is going to be sandblasted/powder coated.(stuff like that).
Once that is done Appearance will be addressed. C-west body kit(just like the front bumper). With a wing/spoiler that looks like http://www.nissanclub.com/240SX/jrsx/jrsx08.jpg . I will be painting it some form of black. Also Motegi High Gloss w/Pollished lip 17 x 9 are in my plans for it.
Motor wise, i will be swapping it. But i am not sure with what yet. originally i wanted a sr20det, but thats just like a h22 accord, and i want more, i want a montser. So i was thinging 2jz swap or LSx swap. RB26DETT is also an option but i wont get it unless i can get the whole AWD package so i can make this AWD with adjustable power output to the front/rear. But that probably wont happen. I need to reasearch in depth to figure out which one i want. Also, partial wire tuck, with a painted engine bay will be happening here.
Tell me guys what you think, and some advice on the swap would be appreciated if you actually have some knowledge, not just 2jz bc LSx is a domestic POS or LSx is the way to bc its the cool swap right now. ALso dont expect this to be competley done anytime soon. im 18 in less than a month, and im not looking to be completly done with it untill im 21/22.
PS. I "owned" the car 2 years ago, meaning telling the guy i wanted it and paid for it. This was all before the whole Drifting BS came out. I wanted it completly for looks, nothing else at that time. All my friends are like ya, lets out out a drift, Im like no, fuck you. I will be fucking around in the car, but only in a parking lot. This will be my weekend/summer car, the accord will be the DD, so i am in absolutly no rush to finish this, no expense will be spared. Everything will be dont right AND with quality parts.
Edit: i just noticed i just put motegi rims. It'll be getting Motegi Touge Rims
