project twoforty aka ridiculous 240sx race build

[technoticmedia]

So in lieu of selling everything fun that I have (which is mostly all still for sale haha), I have decided to pick up a new project car. Money is tight, and I really couldn’t pass up this deal, so while I don’t think I’ll be able to mod it anytime soon, at least I can fix it up and play. Anyways, on to the car… It’s a 1990 Nissan 240sx Hatchback, previously owned by Ricky Chu (Thanks!). It definitely needs some body work, but all in all the car seems pretty well together.

I’ve been working on getting my portfolio for the car together, and we’ve picked up a body sponsor, paint sponsor, and a cage sponsor so far. I think we’re going to build this for drift and maybe some nasa TT events. We’re going to use it as a promotional vehicle for the company and for ihatestickers.com too. It’s somewhat modded so far so I want to finish the project, and shoot for 400whp. Ideally we’re going to try for 100% sponsored, but with the way the economy is, we might only end up with partials, so at least I can sell of some of the things I don’t want that are on the car.

So here are the pics!

Good looking start.

[Slopoke]

Sexy interior/enigine looks great like a great start for a project car to me :tup:

Is this the same one that was in “Project Car”?

[travisn]

Damn, nice. all the way from cali. Was it driven or shipped?

Yup! I’m trying to get my hands on the first issue of project car so I can keep it with the car.

Had it shipped here from LA. I was going to drive it back and stop at cool places along the way, but I can’t afford to take that much time off.

very nice!

[deebo]

nice

Very nice pickup, I love how sneaky the front mount is. If the car was “as is” with 400whp it would be a sleeper for sure.

[fbrendan]

Cool. In for updates.

[technoticmedia]

Yeah no doubt. However since I have a body guy and a paint sponsor lined up, I’m probably going to do a simple body kit with dzus fasteners for the bumper, a carbon hood and carbon hatch.

sweet, in for results.

I have it if you need it. I’ll bring it up for you next time I am in the area

[technoticmedia]

Yeah that’d be awesome. I asked Johnny Wong to send me one, but I’m not sure if he was able to find it.

Should be a good build, and I can’t wait to get started. We’ll probably start stripping the car soon since it goes to Reactive Chassis for the cage the first week of may.

Get rid of that Greddy Type RS blow off valve first thing. If you don’t believe me, just do a boost leak test.

[LUKE_L]

I really like this car that color…good luck with the build.

Ditch the sun roof…Hardtop.

clean car GL with the build

Yeah no doubt. I’m getting one from Tial, so I’ll sell the Greddy one once the build begins

Thanks I think we’re going complete custom with the paint though. I will probably have a carbon fiber sunroof made too hehe.
