I do work on base, currently in Korea but I'll be back next month and back to work in Nov.

I have a white hatch, just got it running after being down for basically 4 years

[unpaintedhatch]

I would help but Casa Grande is a bit too far for me.

Thanks for considering it though. I really just wanted to ask questions about how to take it apart

[TheRealSy90]

The S-Chassis scene in AZ is not dead at all! He was referring to the az240sx website, it's fairly slow going there.


I live in Yuma myself, about 3.5 hours from Phoenix area, I think 5 hours from Tucson.

[az_240]

Seems pretty dead... : /
Not many quality builds these days

[Smangit]

We should get a regular s-chassis meet goin. I see 240s everywhere, but no chassis specific meet ups

[TheRealSy90]

Really? I see ton's of amazing builds rolling through a couple of my friend's shops at Eleven's Paint & Fiber and Murica Motorsports. They're always posting pics of great cars and builds in progress. There's a lot of awesome builds around, but the owners aren't online and posting pics and progress all day every day, because most of them have lives and such. I've seen great builds at every single GoFast drift day that they throw at Wild Horse and P1 in Tucson.

[zombiewolf513]

Let's make some flyers

[unpaintedhatch]

I like the enthusiasm of this group of people.

[hatchtastic]

Check out desert street scene on fb also, I'm in phoenix

[S12ownerAz]

Once i finish my build ill probly head on up to phx

[unpaintedhatch]

Cool i am close to being finishing my hatch but it seems difficult to find a decent job in the Phoenix area?

[S12ownerAz]

All I gotta do is drop the SR in and figure out the wiring. And ill b rollin soon if I can catch a break from the real world ha

[AzS13hatch]

Scene isn't dead. As said above people have lives. The really nice builds are also usually older people or just people who don't go out much unless its a drift "event." I used to be out every weekend, but my 240 hasn't been out in years as its been under the knife. It runs and drives now so as soon as I get back to Tucson I'll probably be out most weekends. Although I gotta spread some love to my other car as well. Anyway, hope to see some of you guys around here pretty soon.

[HDZ32]

Arizona here as well. A buddy and I put an SR into an S12 a few years back, they're a blast. If you have any questions about the swap let me know.

Do you have any pics of the finished swap?

[HDZ32]

This is all I could find, it was almost done lol. Stock T28, Mines ECU, SR bell housing, KA internals, and CA trans case. It was an absolute blast and a total sleeper, the last picture of the actual car is when it was finished. Looked 100% stock, down to the little dinky single exit muffler. It was a blast, I loved that car.

It fit fine from what I recall, the trans tunnel required a little bit of... love you could say. But it wasn't an SR trans it was the stock trans with SR bellhousing. KA internals.

[S12ownerAz]

So you jus swapped the bellhousing from the sr to stock trans?

That's wat I wuz thinkin cuz I have no grinders or anythin to cut into the car and move the shifter back. I jus wanted to make sure it would fit but couldn't find pics or anythin... but I got tha ca out now jus to swap bell housings . Thanks I'm a lil more confident in this build.

[unpaintedhatch]

Thanks for the pics of the S12 swap.

[HDZ32]

[Luvs2slide]

Bump! Any guys still out in the Tucson area?

[tauntdevil]

Hello!

I am located in phoenix but am in tucson pretty much every other weekend. Could help if needed.

I have wanted a S12 for quite a long time. Almost bought a 86 Turbo S12 with a bunch of spare goodies in Tucson for $400 but ended up doing adult thing instead and paid a bill that wasnt super important... big regret for me.
Best of luck!

[TheRealSy90]

I usually try to come out to Phoenix or Tucson to watch the drift events and try to get motivation to finish my 240. It's about 2 hours to Wild Horse in Phx and just over 2.5 to Musselman in Tucson. I haven't driven Musselman yet it looks so fun though I did ride in Mike Burn's 1jz hatch.
I really want to move to the phoenix area to be closer to the track, hopefully sometime this year. It's just difficult to find a place to stay and employment at the same time :(

[jdmsly]

Yo im out in the queen creek area

[lokanut]

Bumping this. I'm in Phoenix, Ahwatukee area. Only seen 2 240s in my 6 months of living here. 4 if you count mine haha.

[zombiewolf513]

Im out hur

[jdmsly]

Yooooooo that's dope cool to see people from az on here

[lokanut]

Either of you go to meets or anything locally?

[zombiewolf513]

I occasionally hit scottsdale pavilions on saturday night

[Cpreston]

anyone on here anywhere around lake havasu city? just moved here a few months ago

[Luvs2slide]

Theres a couple of facebook groups as well.


AZ drift/AZ s chassis/AZ 240sx

[lokanut]

I'll check em out and see if there's any activity

[TheRealSy90]

They're pretty active, mostly people selling stuff and the drift events getting posted.

[blackmags91]

My s13 hasn't been up and running all year, but I frequent most of the meets in my ucf20 lately.

Speaking of AZ meets and s12's.. There is a meet every Thursday night in the northern most parking lot at Arizona State University (lot 59, off of Rio Salado road). The turn outs have been pretty impressive lately. Lotta douchery, but a bunch of quality stuff too. (A 2jz a20/30 celica comes to mind, mmmmm...)

Last week I got to talking with a guy with an sr20 s12. Said his mom bought the s12 brand new and he's had it since he was 16.. Went on to explain that he did the sr20 swap 13 years ago! and been driving it ever since. Its immaculate.

Its about 2.5 hours from Tucson, but if you're ever up in Phoenix on a Thursday night I would recommend checking it out. I hear the attendance is even better in the winter months. Hopefully my turd is back on the road by then. Probably not

[lokanut]

Sweet, I'll probably attend that meet in the winter months then because my car right now needs some tlc. ASU is only about a 25 minute drive for me so it would only make sense to check it out!

[Luvs2slide]

I think im one of the few here in Tucson...even though technically I'm not even in Tucson (30 min) away. =(
