Hey, I worked for about 2 weeks and bought my first 240... I was using a Camry but I sold it so I can have money to work on my 240...

POS MOTOR FROM NICOCLUB... WTF

The car sat for about 2 months before I actually got money to work on it...

Taking apart the engine

Took out the pistons

Cleaned up a little

The head came back from the machine shop

Spare parts and misc shit...

Complete gasket set for 30 bucks? not bad..

Pistons put in.

Rear main seal put on!

Almost there...

Fitting on the valve cover.. SR24 Red top haha

Ewww

11 dollar whizz cheezzeeee haha

Car pushed into the shop onto the lift...

Motor is going in

Ill try to keep you guys posted, I only have a couple of days left to get as much work done as possible before I have to go back to school.. I hate walking to school... oh well.. I have a lot of gaskets left that I don't know where they go, I might need some help... Ill get pictures of the left over gaskets tomorrow

I never finished this car, So I sold it to a close friend for 400 dollars, I actually finished rebuilding the motor, and I had problems with it cause I put the timing chain on wrong like an idiot but it was my first time ever fucking with a car so, I sold the whole car for about 500, ended up buying another car off one of my friends who got a ticket

Bought the red one..

Unfortunately I ended up crashing it into a ditch cause of under steer, so I picked up another 240 within the couple of hours after crashing..

which is this one

(fire damage was before I bought the car, previous owner)

after I bought the car

and now
