Ville_Vicious's 1993 Nissan 240SX Base - Chuki, the warfighter

Wow... where to start...

Alot of folks see Chuki and write her off as a standard, 16 year old car with a fair share of battle wounds... or worse yet, a beater with a few hundred thousand too many miles on her. They see Chuki as a relic from a time when Ace of Base topped charts, and Wu-Tang clan dominated the airwaves.

As for me? I see her worth her weight in weapons-grade plutonium.

This car has both caused me heartache and joy; made me smile and made me mad enough to kick her- and I'll never give her up. From steering so nimble that she's saved my life *twice*, to wiring so fucked up that she's cost me enough in taillight tickets that the Collin County Judges all know me by face.

I love this car, and I'll never give her up.

She's going on 170,000 now, and still running strong(ish). We went ahead and got her an RB25DET (which, we're peicing together at a steady pace until that KA gives its' last), and plan to keep that KA going until that KA won't go anymore. Call it sentiment. She's not currently the fastest thing on the street, but her handling (slightly modded, of course) makes her a force to be reckoned with on any windey street or neighborhood.

So, she might be looking like shit for a couple of years upcoming, but don't scoff. She's loved, and she pulls her weight better than your grandma in a bikini contest; and we love her more.

Modifications

So far, I'm trying not to mod much until she gets her swap. I've accentuated creature comforts, and made her more fun to drive, while modding the RB seperately until the KA gives out. SO, here's everything ON chuki:

(I generally only *upgrade* parts that break, until we actually give her the swap)
Nismo ShortThrow
K&N Intake
Exedy S1 Clutch
Fidanza Flywheel
HKS Twin Power Distributor
NGK Iridium Spark Plugs
NGK Spark Plug wires
Carbon Fiber Rearview Mirrors (M3 style, they were free)
D2 Racing Coilovers
Generic Sway Bar

Things I'm hoping to avoid modding until we swap the engine:
-Brakes :\
-Tires (I have no interest whatsoever in putting a nice set of wheels on her if she still has an engine thats on its' way out)
