Everyone has their favorite car. Mine happens to be the 240SX. It has been for years. I was finally old enough to have one of my own and it was then that they became the Civic of Nissan, unfortunately. I finally bought one Thursday, Septemer 18th, 2008 after a long year of searching.
Here she is just a few days after I brought her home.

As of right now the car is at my friend's shop, under the knife. When I drove it it wasn't running great at all. It had quite a few problems. I did however, manage to drive it from west Chester to Northeast Philadelphia in its condition.
September 26, 2008 - And it begins
Drove it to my friend's shop for some work including:
-Engine replacement
-Exhaust
-Suspension
-Body work
Everything being done at the shop is stock work. Nothing aftermarket, no upgrades... yet
October 2, 2008 - Out with the old, in with the new
New engine has arrived and the old one is out.
The engine bay was gross so that was power-washed.
New engine scheduled to go in the next day.
The car was also put up on a lift for an under body coating. What was once rust-free, is now guaranteed rust-free.
Future mods and plans:
Since winter is fast approaching I won't be doing too much to the car. Anything I buy will be saved for the spring when I know for sure I won't have to worry about winter weather.
-Shades of Gray 30% tint
-Intake
-Exhause
-Coilovers (Megan Racing? Suggestions?)
-Rota P-45R wheels 17x9 +25 up front 17x9.5 +12 in the rear (size not definite)
-Paint (Black? Gunmetal?)
-OEM sideskirts
-Possibly a 5-lug conversion?
