Project 240SX – Sorting out Subframe issues
Well the 240’s stance has certainly had it’s fair share of issues, and after a trip to see Butchie @ Treds Alignment Specialists it didn’t take long to determine what the issue was. It doesn’t take Butch long to determine that my rear subframe is bent, as well as my front lower control arm. Bummer. […]
Frozen Megan Track Coilovers
While I sort out the issue with the freight company dropkicking my 2JZ off the pallet, I decide to take care of my front end noises. The 240 pulls to the right on acceleration and makes an ugly clunking noise when turning the wheel left. After tearing apart the front of the car, I discover that both […]
OH NO0OEZ!!11
The freight company calls with some bad news, it appears as though my good fortune in finding a 2JZ may have run out. My motor looks to have fallen off the pallet during shipping and according to the warehouse worker “is pissing all over the floor” Time to file a claim and see where this […]
What’s a StockSpyder

Project 240SX – Why there are professionals for this
After my excursion into wiring hell, I take the Kouki front end off to see exactly what the hell is the problem with the hood not lining up. I discover that the fenders are OE metal, but seem smashed in on the passenger side, not to mention the headlight is busted on that side as […]
Project 240sx – What did I get myself into?
Upon bringing the car back home, it dawns on me that I just may have traded a perfectly good 4dr EG9 for the world’s crappiest 240sx. Good thing it’s just a Civic huh? None of the dash lights work, none of the fuses seem to be good in the cabin and all of the interior […]
Project 240SX – This one’s for you Hyung
I can remember my first time in a S14, being just 12 and going to the movies with my hyung and being terrified of how fast it was or how fast he drove. My passion for driving fast and modifying cars traces back to my older brother (hyung) who played such an instrumental part in […]
