Finding the right car.
After researching the 240sx to J-spec Sil-80 conversion and deciding what we wanted to do with this project, we began to look for the right car. Josh was able to locate a car on Ebay less than an hour away from us for dirt cheap. He went up and looked at the car, and project Sil-80 was born!
| The project is born. |
|
| This is the condition the 240 was in for the first few months. |
In the initial stages, the car was in rough condition. What do you expect when you buy something cheap? There was a lot of simple cosmetic damage to the interior and the exterior. We have plans to rebuild the entire car, inside and outside. Starting where it matters, the engine bay.....
| The interior of the 240. |
|
| Before the cosmetic changes |
| The stock KA24 engine |
|
| This is where the heart and soul of the project will soon reside. |
Good news! As of June 24, 2002, we have located and reserved our very own SR20DET front clip! Then we can get rid of the underpowered, N/A stock KA24DE engine. We will have the new engine and its various parts in our possession in less than a month. That is when project Sil-80 gets exciting.
