While the S13 came with MCA Blue Coilovers, which ride extremely well, and a Nismo Power Brace, the previous owner did not get a chance to upgrade the suspension arms. This is where I come in. During the course of my casual searching days for the “right” coupe, one of the primary keywords I used […]

As aforementioned in this original post, the precursor and catalyst to the S13 project was the set of wheels I picked up a while back. I envisioned the rest of the car around these wheels and they essentially set the tone and theme for the build. The wheels in question are mismatched 17×9″ +35 Advan […]

In one of my orders from Japan, I picked up a used Bride Zeta II seat for the S13. And in one of my domestic orders, I picked up a new Bride FG seat rail. My plan was to only run a bucket in the driver side and keep the passenger seat stock. After removing […]

After running 2 iterations of the black on black scheme, first with the XD9s and then the RS/RZs, it was time to retire that look and move on. I wanted to go back to contrasting and neutral wheels for a timeless and balanced color way that matches the silver accents in the interior. Once the […]

While I was kicking goals and tackling the wiring work and performing other bug fixes, I admittedly overlooked and excluded 2 items that should have been on the list: optimizing the radiator hoses and fixing the back up lights. I guess I just needed a break and to drive the car for a bit, but […]

Things have been hectic since Vegas and I kept up the pace by making a getaway to L.A. last weekend. Since I was flying down to go pick up the 240SX, I decided to extend the stay for the weekend and have a mini vacation. I landed midday on Friday and was picked up by the […]

The car came with a Helical LSD from a S15 already installed, but it would be removed as part of the final deal. While a nice differential, the HLSD would not meet my needs for drifting. With only one week left before I was due to go pick up the car, I was able to source […]

The mismatched hood and sideskirts definitely were not going to fly. Granted, my goal with this car is not to attain perfectionist, show-level status like I tried with my RX-7, but it does not change the fact that it is still a clean example of a 240sx. No matter what, there is a standard and […]

What can I say, I get bored easily. I can never remain idle and I have far too many schemes and plans. Once I sold my Tacoma for a new 2017 Chevrolet Volt, I felt like a part of me had died. So I’ve decided to take a stand and throw a middle finger up […]

I didn’t get a chance to throw this post up earlier due to July 4th and the fact that I’m now in Las Vegas, but last Sunday I went on a long-awaited drive with my buddy George and his NSX. I know I’m bad with actually driving my car because I’ve been able to consistently […]

This past weekend, I met up with the homie Albert who dusted off his camera gear and hooked it up with an awesome set of photos. He also maintains a blog about his life and uniquely envisioned 240sx build here: unknown/tangent Make sure to check it out, his car is nearing the final phases and will […]

Over the course of these years, I’ve remained steadfast and withheld from adding on sideskirts. I wanted to prioritize the simplicity and natural design of the RX-7. Instead, I opted to run front and rear mudflaps, which I think are cool, somewhat ironic items for a sports car to have. Recently, as I revisited the […]
