jersey not-so-fresh build

[NJs13_1993]

So I have a 93 s13 that started life as any normal 240sx would. Then I got my hands on it. I bought the car in february 2012 from some old man who had owned it for like 15 years. The car was completely stock and super clean. Basically no rust.


Heres where it is today


Unfortunately I suck at taking pictures while working on the car so this is gonna be a rough recap of the past 3 years and the somewhat slow progress its made. I'll be taking alot more pictures to keep this thread updated.

So first time i had the car out on my own i got pulled over doing 70 in a 35. So from then on i learned nothing and proceeded to be an asshole on the street like your average 17 year old kid that thinks he's the new DK. I ended up messing up the front of the car so i did a silvia front swap.


Then i lowered it on stnace gr+ coilovers and put it on some shitty 14" datsun wheels that i thought were the coolest thing ever


I painted the front to match, got some ridiculous 15's with crazy offsets and proceeded to destroy my fenders



spray painted the car blue, which actually didnt come out TOO bad



I drove my first event at clubloose august of 2013. I had been going to watch drifting there since i was 12. My older cousin used to take me with him all the time. Ever since the first time i witnessed drifting i knew it was what i wanted to do. The feeling you get while drifting just doesnt compare to anything else and i love it. Anyway the offseason of 2014-2015 I did a good amount of work to the car with help from a couple people. The ka was still running strong so i continued my suspension upgrades. PBM s14 knuckles, lower control arms, rear drop knuckles, toe arms, subframe risers, custom cat back exhaust with boso tips that i cut off soon after and welded aspec blast pipes on, s14 5 lug swap, a couple 17x10s, fiberglass 30mm front fenders, VIS aero and some other little shit. The car performed great all season up to now. I took it out for the season to save some money for plans for next season. BIG PLANS. But anyway heres some pics from opening moves at clubloose



I repainted the car with some help from the gf. She did a better job than me


continued drifting





tapped the bank. This scared the shit out of me lmao but it was an experience and i can say ive done it. But it needs to be fixed


got a shot from stancenation while at los goonies' panda junction. Totally fan girl'd out over this one haha


got some vinyl cut and continued drifting up until now



and now the car is on jackstands, with that crazy stock ka out. I dont know how it lasted as long as it did but it served me well. Almost sad to see it go, almost.



and whats going in for next season

everything else as of now is pretty much stock. I'm still in the process of collecting some parts for it so its not quite ready to drop in yet. Stay tuned for more updates. I'll try to keep this thread as up to date as possible as long as my laptop continues to work. thanks for reading
