The story:
The first car I bought in 2015 was a barely rolling shell of a 1992 Nissan 240sx S13 Convertible. The 19 months that followed have been full of up and downs.

Special Mention:

  • Justin Collins from QFab who was the only brave soul willing to attempt making the wiring harness.
  • Rich Noll from Turn14 who made sure I always got what I needed the next day.
  • Will Flores from Titan Motorsports for all his advice and dedication to finding the parts I needed.
  • Tad Neal from The Drive Shaft Shop for making a perfect driveshaft for an application never been done.
  • Elida and Jonathan from CXRacing for their patience and knowledge.
