I have had my coupe since October of 2002. 104k miles. Salvage title. I have been through hell and back with this car. It has become part of who I am. Part of my soul. I have taken 2000+ pictures over the years. Gone to many track events and meets. Had a hell of a lot of fun with it.

When I bought the car it had some of the worst wheels I have seen to this day. So when I was like 19 or 20 I decided to get some wheels. I found these Mutegi MR-7's online and at the time nobody had them. As soon as I bought them overnight they were on every honda out there. Plus I didnt know shit about offsets and wheel fitment then. I was a newb once too

When I first bought the car it came with a SOHC KA with 104k. At 113k my sohc blew up as I was pulling into the original Drift Speed shop to just get a quote. I ended up pushing my car into their parking lot and letting them know I needed a SR swap :D My car was broken into. And then my car was stolen while I was at work in South Coast Plaza. That was the most terrifying experience I have ever been in. Luckily got my coupe back with the SR, but they took all the new gauges and turbo timer, wheels, fucked up all of my studs, half way cut off my muffler and changed their mind. Insurance didnt help me out much. Started to rebuild, my car got broken into again at some point outside my apt in Fountain Valley. I hate theives btw. They can all die in a fire.
From the start since I owned my 240, people always asked me if I was going to drift it, since D1 first came here about a year or so after I bought it too, but I was never really big into the JDM scene or drifting my car. I enjoyed watching OG japanese drifting videos, but I always wants to road race. I was more interested in grip driving. At the time when I was young drag racing was still fun too. I didnt meet anyone with with a 240 who was interested in grip until a few years in. And I started going to the track with them, I thought I had such a cool car(I did), but I didnt truly understand the importance of the simpler things. I always was poor so I would buy any tires I could get. That was never helpful in drag racing or grip driving haha. I have progressed as slow as a snail because this hobby is an expensive one. But I always learned to do things right and I have always tried to preach that to the new comers. It's been a fun trip.

I always knew the frame wasnt perfect. But my Nismo powerbrace bolted right on. My tension rods were not perfect so I took it to a body shop and they pulled my frame. They did something wrong, so they re-pulled it again. Still was not right but I was sick of not having my car. I drove the car for a couple of months after that. Strut tower split.

Result of frame pulls and stiff ass suspension. I thought about ways of repairing it. Welding thing sheet metal back together, patching it some how. Replacing the strut tower. None of them sounded right. I Wanted my shit to be done right. I refused to dump my shell and get a new one. And I had a parts car with a perfect front end. So I got started.

I borrowed a tram gauge to measure and match numbers to spec and was given a bit more information about the process of aligning the parts together which I could not do because I didnt have a frame machine. But I did what I could with what I had. I also did not have a lot of welding experience. But --Let the welding begin.

When I bought the car it had some of the worst wheels I have seen to this day. So when I was like 19 or 20 I decided to get some wheels. I found these Mutegi MR-7's online and at the time nobody had them. As soon as I bought them overnight they were on every honda out there. Plus I didnt know shit about offsets and wheel fitment then. I was a newb once too

When I first bought the car it came with a SOHC KA with 104k. At 113k my sohc blew up as I was pulling into the original Drift Speed shop to just get a quote. I ended up pushing my car into their parking lot and letting them know I needed a SR swap :D My car was broken into. And then my car was stolen while I was at work in South Coast Plaza. That was the most terrifying experience I have ever been in. Luckily got my coupe back with the SR, but they took all the new gauges and turbo timer, wheels, fucked up all of my studs, half way cut off my muffler and changed their mind. Insurance didnt help me out much. Started to rebuild, my car got broken into again at some point outside my apt in Fountain Valley. I hate theives btw. They can all die in a fire.
From the start since I owned my 240, people always asked me if I was going to drift it, since D1 first came here about a year or so after I bought it too, but I was never really big into the JDM scene or drifting my car. I enjoyed watching OG japanese drifting videos, but I always wants to road race. I was more interested in grip driving. At the time when I was young drag racing was still fun too. I didnt meet anyone with with a 240 who was interested in grip until a few years in. And I started going to the track with them, I thought I had such a cool car(I did), but I didnt truly understand the importance of the simpler things. I always was poor so I would buy any tires I could get. That was never helpful in drag racing or grip driving haha. I have progressed as slow as a snail because this hobby is an expensive one. But I always learned to do things right and I have always tried to preach that to the new comers. It's been a fun trip.

I always knew the frame wasnt perfect. But my Nismo powerbrace bolted right on. My tension rods were not perfect so I took it to a body shop and they pulled my frame. They did something wrong, so they re-pulled it again. Still was not right but I was sick of not having my car. I drove the car for a couple of months after that. Strut tower split.

Result of frame pulls and stiff ass suspension. I thought about ways of repairing it. Welding thing sheet metal back together, patching it some how. Replacing the strut tower. None of them sounded right. I Wanted my shit to be done right. I refused to dump my shell and get a new one. And I had a parts car with a perfect front end. So I got started.
