Farva's 240sx Version 2.0 "The Phoenix"
So having RWD is addicting, and I need another hit. First time having a 240 didn't work out, I exhausted my funds and couldn't reacquire enough to keep the car. So I'm starting over with a new and more extensive project, bought for much less so there is still some coin leftover for parts and whatnot. I think Phoenix is a fitting name as I will ressurect this beast form the ashes (leaves) and make it new again. This will be a slow and steady restoration, but I think this time I will succeed. Only one picture for now since my droid didn't save the other for some reason.
Mod list:
Deleted emissions
A/C delete (for now)
Battery relocation to the hatch
Ho-made CAI
Some kind of aftermarket exhaust
Goodyear Assurance 195/65/15
J30 brakes up front
Energy suspension bushings
Moog lower ball joints front/rear
Moog inner tie rod ends
Moog outer tie rod ends
I will update as progress is made, thanks for looking.

is that that baby clue hatch with rear glass busted out?
if so, i think that motor is fubar bro.... it's a single cam anyways, so it's gotta go....
you should scoop up one of these RB deals that are going around on TR right now... RB hatch would be kinda sick...

Yeah motor is pretty much FUBAR, I'm gonna start to take it out tomorrow if Josh will let me swang by the shop. We'll see if it can be rebuilt, if not I'll just grab one from somebody here. RB20 would be fun but I don't want a moneypit, just a backup car. We'll see where it goes.

That's not the same engine he's talking about. This one is much cheaper and used to belong to me.

How many Washington's are we talking about? How much of the swap is there? You definitely have my attention, hopefully I can sell my H22 head and other stuff I will be closer to having enough to buy some sort of RB.
