My names will and my 240sx has been a pain in the ass since the beginning. I started by searching craigslist for an s13, mainly because i regretted selling my first car, a black s13 hatch.

Main reason i sold it was because it was automatic and the tranny was giving out. Other than that it was solid with about 100k. I knew nothing about working on cars so i thought doing a 5 speed swap would be the hardest thing ever. So there went that car. This all took place right after high school in 2010
With the little funds I had I ended up buying an s10 blazer. This was the first car I really started messing around with and learning some basic mechanical skills.

After driving the blazer for a while and attending a couple of automotive classes I started to miss the s13. So I started searching around for a new s13 but nothing to serious. It wasn’t until I went to my first formula drift event at Irwindale in 2012. I then decided I wanted to build a drift car and was going to learn in the process.
So I finally found a good looking 91 s13 coupe and picked it up with the few bucks I had and some assistance from financial aid lol.
