Almost forgot I had this, well to provide some closure here is the car basically 95% completion, and plan to get plenty of media of it in action once it is 100% very soon. I reshelled to a slicktop car and did everything over once more in a cleaner chassis.

After dealing with issue after issue with stock unknown longblock SR's I went 86.5mm wisecos with stock rods in s13 sr block and head. ACL bearings, tomei HG, arp headstud, new oil and water pump etc. simple basic build to have longevity and reliability.

Car is just t28 with GTX billet wheel with bolt ons and 550s/zmaf/enthalpy ecu. made 310 on 93 Pump gas which is more than enough for the grassroots drifting I am into.

Got the aero painted and rest of car wrapped up

It has been about a year since I embarked on my journey to build a coupe. I've never had so many motor issues, and reshelled in such a short time having to redo/transfer all my old hard work, but it gave me a chance to revisit things I found out I could do better and change things up/simplify the build. The car still has overall built suspension and handles amazing, now with the built sr dyno tuned on pump gas and whatnot, and now on the 57xtremes instead of the WMB kai for now which i still have. I have alot in store for this thing and still am finishing things on the car like bumper brackets, painting and installing trims, finishing the last of the full interior, dialing in the rear for grip and whatnot. But it is awesome to have finished a 240sx for the first time ever, cant wait to go drift this thing!! ill continue to update as i make more progress.
