So okay lettme tell you a little sob story
first off been wantin a 240sx for about the last 5-6 years never had the money tho and rearwheel daily driver not good idea in CT
My little story starts in July of 06
So i go to this "Great online store" that sells and builds 240s with sr20det swaps now the place is far away but they known for good work so I call ask if they have 89-93 hatch w/ maybe front s15 conversion, they say yes jus so happen they do so I say okay how much for this w/basic swap package, engine bay painted, and exterior painted they say 12000 (bout 1 G goes to shippin) shipped, and will be done end of Aug. I say great set up w/ eloan to payem.
Aug comes around I givem a call they say gonna be longer first motor they put in no good.....I think well thats good that it happen down there they say another 2 weeks
2 weeks go by...still not done they say they're waitin on painting another 2 weeks...
2 weeks go by still waitin on paint..
2 weeks go by car is done w paint but now engine is burning oil and runnin like shit (thats 2 engines) they say another 2 weeks....
finally nov. (begininng of Snow here in CT but we have late winter this year 06) They ship car I get it 2 day later bout middle of Nov. now...
I get car and I'm like WTF!!
1. Paint job shitty swirls and shit all over (i waited like over a month for this paid 900 dollars lokk like shit!!)
2. its missing the front emblem
3. missing squirters and antenna
4. still got tape from paint on it
5. the driver side seat is rusted all over where it bolts in so it moves everytime u shift
6.lights on interior don't work (dash)
7.key only works one way in door and ignition
8. have to press in clutch in just right for car to start
9.had used intake filter (so dirty that when I clean bucket is black w water)
10.used BOV (rusted as hell)
11.used couplings(some where actually cracked)
12.used IC pipes
13.MAF sensor wire from ECu was 4 feet too long could take out of engine bay and it could almost touch rear tire)
14. some other minor stuff i forget..
So I get this an I'm like wtf!!
Then I'm like okay at least I got and its fast
Then after 1 week it starts actin funny.. jerky, idling funny, some other shit i can't remember..
I call up place they say try this..try that.. I do nothing solves problem..
Then car just stops working one day while I driving (this is begininning of JAN jus 2 1/2 months later little over 2000 miles)
