      Import guy switching to the darkside

      Hello everyone. My names Luke and I have/had been into 240sx's for the past decade. I lost my passion for cars and have been putting all of my love into building/buying firearms. Namely AR's.


      I tore apart my 240 to redo and rebuild the engine after I had a turbo wheel fragment on me.



      That was 2 years ago and she's still sitting in the garage in piece's. With no real willingness to rebuild it.


      However, I just found a car that I have always wanted.
      So hopefully next weekend I will be picking up a mint 1995 Impala SS in pristine condition. My love for cars is coming back and I intend to make this one badass SS!

      Welcome man. I just too switched back to muscle cars from the imports. I still have a few and like them but I am ready to stop dealing with 15yr olds.... lol. Nice 240 BTW had a black top in mine as well, almost went RB26, but decided to sell it and the GTR and do something different. :-)

      Thanks for the welcomes guys! Yeah, the import scene to me, is for the younger crowd.

      After scanning through this site, I think I will be right at home. Can't wait to get the SS and tear into her.

      If you liked turbos on a 4 or 6 banger...wait until you see them bolted to an LS engine!
