let me post before j kellz does thats goingt o be a sweet ride when its done

haha hes expecting around 450 rwhp, so it should be pretty quick, and it weighs nothing.

chris is finally finishing his car, whens it gonna be on the road?

sweet nissan

that car was quick 2 years ago, its gonna be insane what it will be now

a week or 2 or at most october 4 (import wars)

oh shit, im def gonna have to go then to see him run it

should be quick, gonna be fun to just take it around in scituate, and foster. haha

looks like its gonna be sick

hahaha yeah i was just thinkin about that

if it runs

haha i hope it runs.

bull shit....gippy will never finish that car

240kid? gippy???

hateeeer lol and yes im gippy

hondo is gippy?

my bad i guess he was logged in on my computer and never logged out

finally u came over to the site, how u been man?

im just kidding man lol

hey onion u get my post in FS thread about the gauges?

yeah...i dont know anyone good with glass...because odds are they could mold the pod that I have to fit your a-pillar. Im also not sure where you oil pressure sensor is and dont wanna fuck with it....new cars arent as forgiving as my 88 notch wouldve been LOL

i talked to mark, he is gonna fiberglass something for me

Cant get the correct size vband clamps anywhere local, apparently tial makes it a wierd size so you have to buy thier vband made for the exhaust housing. I will order asap so i can get the turbo on and hopefully get this car on the road.

Damn man, look's like you have'nt cut any corner's, should go like a bat out of hell!

joey that car was already insane and now with all the work, time, and money he put in on it, its gonna be crazyyyy

Nice 240 I love that body style.

Thankyou makes me feel better about selling my s14 haha.
Motor should be in tuesday and ready for a first start ill try and get a video if everything goes alright.

Also today we repaired the rust were the battery tray used to be and also put a patch over the a/c holes in the firewall since i wont be using them. A little more grinding and some paint and i should be good to put the motor in.

chris when r u around? i wanna come see this thing in person

im always around come see it when its running. ill let ya know when.

Painted tonight and the primer went on perfect but the base coat is another story, idk what happened but it got all fisheyes and it didnt help that we ran out of paint about half way through the second coat. It will have to do for now since i have a deadline to meet and no money left for paint lol. heres some pics, i almost wish i would have just went with a flat black primer

damn son that looks awesome

Looks like it is coming along nicely!

so chris does this mean ur officially gonna leave 401 and join up with rekless?

ha nooo i have no problem being a part of both.

looks good man can't wait to see a vid of it moving.

lol aight

Thanks to hondo for helping me put it in.... NOT!! Ten minutes before i was ready to put the motor in everyone decided it was time to go home. Putting a motor in by yourself trying to align mounts while moving the engine hoist is a bitch and it cost me a few small scratches to my paint but this isnt supposed to be a show car anyways so idc lol.

oh screw you, u said u didnt need any help for the rest of the night. haha

some people have a dislike for 401 motion, damn people....

more pics...
