I need to stop spending money. ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2824.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2824.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2799.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2799.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2792.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/240z/DSCF2792.jpg) Formerly a california car, sold to a man in Hamburg. Spent 4 months in Hamburg driven by a young girl (guy’s daughter) who blew the transmission out. It was then sold to the PO who bought it with the intention of making a pro street drag car. It sat in his yard and he never worked on it though for the past 7 years. It was put away running so I’m gonna see if I can get the L24 running to atleast tool around with it until I can put the swap together I want to do. I’m HOPING to do Paint/Interior/Suspension this winter and drive it on the stock engine with a new trans in the spring. We’ll see. Overall the chassis is very clean, front frame rails are solid, inner fender wells and 1/4 panels and rockers are solid. Roof has a bit of surface rust, it needs a hatch, and like all 240’s the floorboards under the pedals appear to be trash (thankfully they make weld in replacements that are of thicker steel). Anyway, yeah, I finally have gone down the Japanese car path, I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, just didnt really expect it now. I blame driving/drifting doffitt’s 350z all year, and then going out with the S1DC guys and Bing at Dunnville. More pics tomorrow and this weekend. 🙂 ---

VQ is crap, boosted LSx. Solarian… stop talking shit about the JZ motors being 3x better then an RB. You are not knowing! Damn internet dweebs. ---

Yes 3x as tested by whom on what grounds…it all sounds so scientific. His comments aren’t relevant - homeboi drives a Solara hence the 2JZ stroking :-p ---

Wow, yes, lets measure what people say on the internet. What a grand idea! It’s better because it makes more power, it’s more reliable, it has a better tranny available to it, I can keep going. Make one point for the RB26 over the 2JZ, just one, I want to hear it. And seriously, what the fuck do you care what I drive? You drive an early 90’s car and seem to think you’re black or something. Yea, that’s real fuckin baller. ---

You drive an early 90’s car and seem to think you’re black or something. Yea, that’s real fuckin baller. LOL don’t be a woman. I thought the tongue smiley face would cap off my comment OK. I’ve sampled both motors and prolly tested more cars than you have read about. And my “early 90s car” is a just a weekend toy much like a Playstation is to you.
