Testing Waters: Immaculate Total Package 89 Hatch

This car is completely done, top to bottom. No expense was spared. My goal on this car was to make the engine bay the cleanest I have ever seen in a 240SX. There are still details I would like to address, but I am just too tapped out to continue. The body work involved in the engine bay, mainly in the areas where wiring/fuses/battery were relocated is flawless. I could talk about this car for hours (I do so all the time!). Without being arrogant, I feel that this is a magazine worthy car. The pictures do no justice, and I plan on getting some much better ones soon.

The only bad:
The car runs, but not well. It is finally all put together, and does run, but needs tuned. I had it at a shop for quite a while, but the owner of the shop (the only one I trusted with my car) took a different job doing R&D for an exhaust company, so he was unable to dyno tune my car as planned. I have pulled it up my driveway a couple times off of the trailer, but the freshly built motor has seen no road time.

As I said, I am considering selling due to financial burdens. I would consider a trade + cash. I don't really know what I would be looking for, so feel free to run something by me. I am very fair and honest, so please extend me the same courtesy.

I forgot to mention this earlier, but at the moment I do not wish to part out the car. If I decide otherwise I will let you guys know.

[cjernigan]

Yeah that Engine bay is pretty much the sexiest thing I've seen in a while. Nice ride man, screw growing up and moving on with life. Good luck with the sale.

Interested in a trade for a clean 350rwhp 1990 Mustang GT? No expenses spared on it either, new paint job & 15,000 miles on the rebuilt 302-over $30,000 invested in it over the last 14 years I have had it! I can send you a list of mods as well as some older pics. The car is at my parent's house in Ohio, I am moving back to the US this October & want a 240SX to replace my 522rwhp 180SX I'm leaving behind in Japan. Here's some OLD pics with the old paintjob (the old school big pimpin' chrome wheel flares & windshield sticker are HISTORY!)

[thirdtry]

yup, cleanest engine bay ever. makes it look really simple and easy, great job. Get everyone started with a # or best. Interior pics would be good too. damn clean. clean clean

[harlockssx]

Is there a shop in Ohio that can tune this bad boy?

This is what I've been driving here in Japan...wish I could take it back with me! I'm in the process of de-constructing it for my next S13...I'd love to have yours!!!

I've had a couple of strikes trying to get it tuned. I'm working on another guy that is top notch. It's just hard finding someone you don't know to trust them with such an important task of tuning.

[Id RaThEr DrIfT]

by far one of the cleanest! good luck with the sale =-)!

[bchumley]

bump. thanks for the compliments!

[chaS13hatch]

11000 cash on the spot if delivered to virginia beach.....

[bchumley]

I could deliver, but you're gonna have to come up higher than 11k.

I am having a well respected guy look at the car this wednesday to get the car running better and to make certain that no other issues need addressed before it goes to the dyno to make some big numbers!!

[SiI40sx]

post a clip of the horn :D

[sepulchral]

damn that sucks, ur rings havent even seated yet and ur gunna sell :(

[bchumley]

[bchumley]

[kickeachverse]

And that is the cleanest engine bay i've ever seen for a 240sx. Propz bro. Goodluck with the sale.

[bchumley]

just a little update on the car. It is at a shop in PA waiting to be tuned (www.hybridynamics.com). I hope that they are able to get to it soon, so hopefully this car will be up for sale in good running condition.

[autoxgti983]

Partial trade for a S14 with S15 swap (6speed)?

[bchumley]

please PM me or email me pictures and list of mods. my email is [email protected]

Thanks!
Bret

Okay, so I'm bringing this post back to life. I am again thinking of moving on to a new project.

Some updates on the car:
My only issue was the car needing tuned. I took it to Hybridynamics in Youngwood, PA, where they fixed all of my little electrical issues by installing a new Painless Performance wiring harness, along with completing a dyno tune. The car has been tuned on pump gas at 18psi, and it made 400whp and 305 ft/lbs. I don't have the dyno chart unfortunately, but I will see if Hybrid maybe saved it. I have now put about 1200 miles on the car, and everything is working very well. The power is awesome! The idle is slightly rough (sounds cool), which is a combination of the big cams and the Accufab throttle body. The car is very stiff and responsive. The car now has VLSD installed. I have gotten tons of praise in the past 3 weeks at a couple of events, and I have handed a few people their ass on the highway. (GTO, Z32, and FD)

My plan is to sell this and do a much more budget friendly setup, probably another S13, but not for sure.

I know that I am asking alot of money for the car, but to the right person, it makes great financial sense. I have over 35k invested (yikes).

I am very interested in partial trades + cash. I will entertain any offer.

Asking $21,000

This has to be one of the nicest built S13's i've seen in a while.

GL with the sale!
