I always wanted a 240sx coupe and on the day after high school grad (6/19/11) I bought my dream car for $1,000 from my friends dad. It was everything I wanted, '93 black coupe, dual cam, 5 speed. It had a burnt clutch but that didn't stop me from taking it everywhere while the clutch was still able to grab. Clutch ended up giving out on me and I bought a ACT 6 Puck and installed it with helping hands through other forums.
This is how it looked when I first got it June 19, 2011
Like any early nineties car it had body damage but I still loved it. Also, at this time I was making minimum wage working at Togo's.
I went for a leisurely cruise in the mountains and understeered into the side of the mountain just scratching the body a little, snapped tension rod, and bent lca. Next day went to Pick N Pull and was fixed.
Since I didn't have money for real mods I did what any teenager would do. Fluorescent pink wheel, ebay coilovers, and a welded diff. Please excuse the ricerness.
Then I had the stupidest idea to this day... plastidip... I don't even know why I did this. Looked like a sorry knock off of knight rider
Then I left for the Air Force (Nov '11) and bought some stupid baby enkeis, m2 exhaust and my friend got me dmax tails.
Then I had the dumb a stupid idea to buy a silvia front (truly regret it) Apr '12
Bought some PBM coilovers and maxxxxxed em out (not so fun on 15s but looked cool)
Took my car to the skidpad and pretty much killed it, nobody believed it was my first time. Jun '12
