Lonestar Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Exact Same Car... This thing was on Craigslist for over 2 years in DFW... I think it was also on Ebay at one point... Yesh, yesh it was, I was really thinking about buying it and slapping the a14 outa of my 210 to drive while I build the SR20det but Prosper beat me to it! :P Dang, you got some serious wheel wells to fill there! Other than that, Looking good so far Prosper, ever figure out what power plant you going to put back into it? Quote Link to comment

Other than that, Looking good so far Prosper, ever figure out what power plant you going to put back into it? I now have a D21 KA24E (SOHC) & a 240sx KA24E (SOHC) in my garage going thru a light rebuild. I also have a 240sx 5speed transmission, and will most likely be picking up a spare transmission within the next week or so... (John-aka DatsunFreak hooked me up with the D21 motor & transmission) BTW,.. if anyone has been looking into LeMons or would like to join the team please let me know ASAP.... We are signed up for MSR Houston Sept 29th & 30th,.. I still have a LOT of work to do,... I could REALLY use some guys who are familiar with the B210 layout & especially with the knowledge for a KA24E swap... I would gladly offer some seat time in the car to anyone interested in helping me finish the B210ZX in time for the Sept event.... PM me for details... Quote Link to comment
Tomakze Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 If you were closer, I would absolutely hit you up on that... :( Quote Link to comment
ProsperPerformance Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Ratsun Racing now has 6 drivers signed up for MSR (including myself),... Feel free to come out and join us in the pits... LeMons requires a Crew member fee of $75 for the weekend for anyone working on a car in the pits, but not racing.... I'd gladly cover that fee for anyone who helps finish the car & then volenteers to wrench on the car during the race... I'll also throw in all the Gatorade & Corn Nuts you can handle...

The seller could not find the 4th cap when I showed up, so he lowered the price & threw in the bumper.... I really dont need the caps, and was going to put them up on ebay... Let me know if you need one (or 2 or all 3 as spares) Quote Link to comment

ProsperPerformance Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Removed PS stock seat mounting bracket in order to make room for seat bars that will tie into the rollcage. Removed DS stock seat mounting brackets in order to make room for seat bars & racing seat... Also had to pund the tunnel & floor out in order to gain a more flat surface. Quote Link to comment
