This is my 1989 Nissan 240sx LE 5spd.

After blowing up my Legacy for the last time I decided to put it on hold while I build an engine that I want. In the mean time I needed a car, so I started looking into a reliable daily.....some things happened and I ended up finding this car for $1750. 1989 240sx hatch with an original 5spd and only 184k miles, I couldn't pass it up; the catch was that it started and everything worked, but the car ran like shit. So I took this heaping pile off the previous owner's hands and turned the distributor 10degrees and plugged a vacuum leak, after which the car ran like a top for a couple months....until I blew this motor up. $250 on CL later I started my first ever engine swap/replacement, the motor mounts were completely separated so I took a few weeks to cut through those and get them off and put the "new" motor in; started up first crank, I was very pleased with myself. This new motor came with a fucked up header that was stuck to the head and was mangled at the end, so I couldn't put my exhaust on it and had to drive it open header for a little bit. Then I saved up enough money and had a guy do a custom straight pipe to two boso pipes, which didn't quite get rid of the loud noises, but it moved them all the way back so I could still think while driving, not so much the people behind and around me. Also got a pretty cool shift knob welded on too, one of a kind ;)

So after that engine was swapped I fixed some random issues like not being able to rev past 5k rpm, upgraded fuel pump, put in a welded diff, removed power steering, and drove the car while I was dealing with some medical bills. After all that was taken care of I started my Legacy build again and decided it would be a good idea to stop following the speed law, noise law, and the safe driving law, which resulted in a lot legal trouble for me...anyway money has been pretty tight so I haven't done much to the car after that, which bring us here.

Everything else is stock. Now I know that some of you will not like my car, that's not a problem, you are entitled to your own opinion and I'd love to hear it, as long as it's intelligent. This car is a big joke to me, everything I've done to this car has been on a whim and not taken seriously, it brings smiles to children and it makes people snap necks in awe and that's all I care about.
Any comments, questions or concerns are welcome!
Apologies for any bad pictures, I'm not a photograph, best I got is Instagram.
