Puttin' in some weekend work... pt2

So part 2 consists of cleaning the gutted car and spraying it with undercoating. It looks pretty badass!

Puttin' in some weekend work... pt1

So I really haven't updated much. been broke with bills and stuff. But I finally put some work in with my homeboy Johnny. It felt good to work on my car! Part 1 is gutting the car out. I had toooo much fun with that! haha Took me under 3 hours. Still has dash in but I'm replacing that later.

Parts n junk

Now it's a one seater

Fixed the leaking issue!

SR20 Time? Whaaa?

So I finally purchased my SR20DET motor! I'm pretty excited. I came with aftermarket exhaust manifold and is pre-wired already. So no need to mess with the wiring! For 1800, and from a '97 180sx, 180 psi compression on all 4 cylinders... Not too bad! The shop was under my expectations. JDM Engine Corp. I would not recommend this shop to anyone. The assistant was way more helpful then the owner. The owner tried to charge me to view a video of the compression...really dude?!?! but it's in my hands now! Here are some pics. Enjoi!

Work Son

So yesterday I went an did some work on this car. It had a Viper alarm, but since I lost the key and remote, and apart, the alarm doesn't work worth shit, So I decided to remove it. First time I've done this, so I found a video on youtube related to removing a viper. I headed over and it took me some time but eventually i got the clusterfuck of wires cut and put the old ones back together.

After this I did the simple Sleepy Eye Mod ;)

Kid is back!

Yo, so I'm back at this again. Mainly to keep an journal of my 2nd Nissan 240sx. On Saturday, August 4, 2012, I bought a 1991 Nissan 240SX 5 Speed. S13 Hatchback, 120xxx on motor, not running, decent shape, cracked dash of course. But none of that matters. First thing we gotta do is get it running, then my homeboy is gonna do the body work, dents and sanding/ primering the car. After that, we are gonna swap my 80xxx KA motor into this bad boy! Then we gonna be rolling.

Here are some images.
