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](http://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! ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6128.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6128.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6129.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6129.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6128.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6128.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6131.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6131.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6132.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6132.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6133.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6133.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6134.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6134.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6135.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6135.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6136.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6136.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6137.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6137.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6138.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6138.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6139.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6139.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6140.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6140.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6141.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6141.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6142.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6142.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6143.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6143.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6144.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6144.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6145.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6145.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6146.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6146.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6147.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6147.jpg) ![http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6148.jpg](http://www.rspeed.org/forums/gallery/data/632/medium/IMG_6148.jpg) :awdrifter: ---

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

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. ---
