My first build thread, but my second 240. My previous s13 went through minor changes prior to me leaving for Basic Training. When I joined the Army, I left it in the hands of KeeganXW, one of my best friends and our local 240 expert.

Some pics of the old 240, aka "peppermint"



Once Keegles got a hold of her.



The motor after he was done.



I've been here in Afghanistan for about 4 months now, and I've been dreaming of building a car since before I left. I had an S2000 in mind, but why betray the Hatch Bro's when I don't have to? So the hunt for a decent hatch began. Came upon this.



Needed a starter, had some leaking oil issues, the driver side quarter panel blows, but the interior was all there. Everything else was going to change anyway.



As soon as we decided to pick up this car for 1300, I started ordering parts.

And then..



PBM Coilovers, XXR 535'S.





A little stretch 215/45 on a 17x9.75



And then after some coilover cranking, some 3mm spacers, babam.







She's not too pretty, but I promise she'll get there.

The cheap ebay exhaust is going, and being replaced by Isis blasts, D1 style kit in the mail along with NRG FRP seats, Cipher auto purple 5 point harnesses, NRG harness bar, a killer shift knob, NRG wheel, quick release, and short hub. JDM DCC ready to be installed.









Shout out to my brother from another mother, Keegan, and the Drifwips crew for doing SO much for me so I can have a baller 240 to cruise with them when I get home from this Deployment. More updates soon.
