Alright so here is my daily driven 1990 240sx hatch, 149,xxx original miles, base model with a 5 speed conversion. Little back round about the car: bought it 2 years ago with about 125,000 miles on it, bone stock automatic and had my wife drive it like that for about a year and a half adding about 15,000 miles on it. Head gasket started to go out so i decided it was time for her to start driving my truck. I replace the head gasket and head bolts along with intake and exhaust seals, sent the head to a machine shop to get it resurfaced, replaced the radiator with another used one and put a new thermostat in it. While i was at it i also replaced all the vacuum lines, replaced the spark plugs, the rotor and the 02 sensor . All that was done about 10,000 miles ago and the car has been running great since.
Since my wife did not want to drive the car anymore i decided to convert it into a 5 speed and drive it myself and mod it to my preferences.
Here's the mods the car will come with:
Stance GR+ Coilovers
ISIS front tension rods
Tein inner and outer Tie Rods
Modded front knuckles 50+ degree max angle
Pionner head-unit, Polk audio front speakers, pionner rear speakers
15 by 8 XXR 002 wheels
Spec clutch and pressure plate

Since i work in the autobody industry i decided to start fixing the outside body of the car, i got as far as making the roof spotless and painting it black, replacing the hood with a used one and fixing all the dents on it, and priming the door jams.

I drive this car to work everyday, 30 miles each way, always warming up the car 5 minutes prior to leaving and it gives me no issues what so ever unless its still cold-then it runs kind of rough till it reaches operating temperature. Been running Mobil1 high mileage 5W-30 oil in this car since i bought it, always changing it at 3,000 miles.
Few things that i know are wrong with the car or need attention:
*Catalytic convertor has been removed therefore a check engine light comes on and off during driving
*Headlight switch has connection issues therefore High beams don't work and headlights stopped going down when turned off.
*Motor mounts are old and very flimsy
*Front windshield needs to be re-sealed and needs a new weather strip since i pulled the old one off when i painted the roof
*Package tray is garbage
*I never bothered hooking up the reverse lights switch when i did the 5 speed conversion
*Exhaust leaks from a broken stud on the down pipe
Why am i selling it?
Unfortunately i lost my motivation for this car because i started a full S14 build which i will be driving in my 2013 Formula D Rookie year.
Has this car been drifted before?
No. Why would i if i get to drift this almost every other weekend at the track

Will this car come with extra parts?
Yes, i have another stock rear bumper for it in mint condition since the one thats on the car now has been worked on and its just ugly. Also i will include stock shocks and springs, extra set of stock side mirrors and some window moldings.

I'm here to pass on my project to a new owner, very simple and nothing dirty.
