Hey! Welcome to my build thread!
After owning many 240sx, I decided to stop buying and selingl cars all the time and to put work into it and to build a daily that I would enjoy driving everyday.
Just to let you know, I'm a sucker for low mile, clean 240sx whether its ka signle or dual.
Well I have owned 240sx from insanely boosting sr's to a shit box car.. but it could never satisfy me as how my first car did.

This beauty had 77,000 miles on her. She's born in 91 with SE and vlsd.
I got this car for less than $3,000, just few houses down from my girl's house.

Then I decided to go to gmr to chase down a subi, but then I learned I was an idiot and understeered the car into the wall around 50-60mph..

after getting the car towed to my house at around 6:00am, I was heart broken and felt like a idiot for destroying such a beauty...
Now to think about it, I could have revived the car.
I only had to straighten out the frame but at that time I was broke as a joke!
so I decided to sell it... and get this..

it was throwing low compression... so I decided to part everything to get my money back... and get this...

then my friend wanted to buy the car from me since he needed a replacement car... so I sold it to him... and got this..

I love cressidas! one of the most comfortable cars out there!
but I decided to sell it again... and get this..

but then I needed money to help out my family.. as I'm not born from a rich ass family... so.. I decided to sell this beauty AGAIN.
ANYWAYS.. I changed cars like girls would change their shoes.... none of them could deliver me the smile on my face as my first car did, where all my gears were butter smooth to shift into with ac on full blast, and a healthy ka!
One day, I fell in love with the kouki 180sx type x.. After seeing Norman's car, I was blown away..
I wanted to create a clean daily. Cleaner than my 1st hatch and to build what is mine through my imagination of how a 240sx should be tuned.
The day I bought my car! :P
