UPDATE PAGE 4
Well I'm bored and I just realized that I didnt create a build for this vehicle. I bought it to build as a track car but currently Ive been driving it on the street and clutch kicking on a bunch of corners. Yes I know street drifting is illegal and dangerous and some here are going to give me a hard time about it. but I dont do it alot and its always in a open area no houses, no people, and the street is empty at the time.
Well here it is: 1992 Nissan 240sx

Greddy FMIC
Koyo Radiator
HKS BOV
Megan Racing 3" Exhaust
S14 Welded Rear Diff

17" XXR 962's
I bought this car August 17th, 2012 looking like this.

The car ran like poo, had massive 18" rims and "lowering" springs. This thing was a monster truck. Well I got the car home that night put it in the garage and immediatly left for Daytona. I had found a used set of Tein SuperDrift coilovers for a good price.
I waited a few days to install the coilovers since I was still looking for wheels and a welded differential. Three days layer August 20th, I drove to Georgia to get them. 17" XXR 962. Yes I know not baller wheels but alot better then those 18's that were previously on the car. The Differential is out of a S14 which I didnt realize till I got home. The next day I had to go order the longer diff bolts and a set of bushings from Nissan. Not a bad deal since they overnighted them for me.
The install of the parts happened a couple days later and the outcome was this. Alignments way off and I still want to adjust the height a bit.
Brought the front end down a little more but I still want it lower. It handles really well and slides very easy but still doesnt look right yet. Sorry I dont have any photos of it going sideways. Soon though
The last picture shows no cage in the car or harness bar. That is the plan but havnt had time or money to order one so its going to have to wait. I do realize the dangers of not having one during a accident when using harnesses and I am doing this at my own risk.
At some point i picked up a used Momo steering wheel and hub since the stock one was disgusting and beat to shit. Sorry for the iphone photo
At this point I had been driving the car around for a few weeks and was tired of the horrible alignment so I decided it was time to order more suspension pieces.
I went with the Isis arm kit from Enjuku along with solid rear subframe bushings and PoweredByMax solid rack bushings. This should stiffen it up alot and give me a good alignment.
Taking out the rear subframe for the first time by yourself is a pain. I will never attempt this again its deff alot easier with two people.
September sometime is when all the suspension went in, I finally get the subframe back into the car and go to bolt my coilovers in and I cant get them to fit. They dont fit with the RUCAs that I ordered. Luckly Enjuku is a good company and allowed me to return them and get Circuit sports. Thanks Enjuku. The car was off the road for atleast a week but with all the new suspension pieces it was a blast to drive.
Next came more interior. I dont have any great photos of it installed yet but I will get some soon. I got tired of the stock 90's grey cloth and wanted something nicer/cleaner. I found this material at Joanns fabric and it worked awesome
So thats it really I went and took some photos today with my other camera I will go through them and throw some photos up. Sorry for the long post. I know theres going to be some negative and hopefully some positive comments but I cant wait to hear them either way.
