16+ years and counting. Any other long-time owners here?

I've had this car since 2005, and it's my 3rd 240SX hatch.

After mothballing my 1989 hatch in December 2017 due to rod knock, I decided to do my first full engine rebuild in 2020. It's also my autox car, so it's somewhat set up for the class i participate in.

In the past year:

Head was prepared by Rebello Racing
Custom pistons
New L + R side view mirrors (both have fallen off/broken)
New ignition tumblers (after I got the key unstuck)
New LED headlights (my old eyes can't see very well at night)

Next:

Get HUD gauge cluster fixed (no speedometer, ODO and trip meter works intermittently, light works intermittently at night)
Re-install automatic seatbelts (never should have switched to manual S14 belts)

In far future:

Paint job


I also bought a new 2020 Toyota 86 with the TRD package (brembos, etc.) as a backup car.

Any other long-time 240SX owners/sufferers?
