I'll introduce myself. I'm Kyle and I'm currently in my senior year of highschool as of posting this and I'm currently in the Automotive Tech program at a tech college. (Pinellas Technical College) and I'm on my way to get my ASE certification.

Owning a 240 has always been a dream of mine. But finding one in florida in some what good condition is a one and a million.

I found myself a 1992 240sx Hatchback. With 247,xxx miles on it. yes, that much. but I swear it has to be a swap
I paid $2600 for it and I guess you can say it came with some good things and some bad things.

This will be my daily driver as I work on it to bring it back to life.

Paint isn't that perfect, but just look at that dash.

Took it up to school to look up underneath it. Too bad it's on ebay coils :(

Car was super low on oil, so went and got high mileage 5w-30 and filled her up.

The car had been smoking a bit, so I decided to take it back to school and get a compression test done.

i got
1 - 190
2 - 185
3 - 195
4 - 190

So everything checked out good there.

I ended up stripping the paint on the wheels. there ending up being at least 4 different colors on them. there ugly anyways, so i didn't care how they turned out
