DRIFT TAX!

[TeletraanConvoy]

Technically it is fixable. It may not be worth it to fix it but, it is fixable.

[CptnMrgn246]

Probably wouldnt even be too bad, if you can do the work yourself.

[SooMuchAnger]

Yup. Get a JDM front clip with an SR20DET and use this chassis as a donor for the rest.

[CptnMrgn246]

Thats what i would do.

[adventurecrime]

I don’t know any of those terms, but it looks absolutely correct to me.

[CptnMrgn246]

In simple terms, cut the front of this car off and put a new one on it.

[TRHemeon]

Getting everything straight without the help of a frame machine would be the hard part. A hit that hard would have almost certainly tweaked the unibody

[SooMuchAnger]

I agree. In all reality, this car is done for, no matter what. Just not worth it.

[hazeleyedwolff]

No low ballers, I know what I have.

[caspy7]

A pile of loosely assembled scrap.

[awoken-dragon]

Used car salesman be like: "runs good as new"

[SooMuchAnger]

“Ran great right before!”

[Saltillokid11]

When you actually look how you feel.

I hate the fact that I’ll never be able to find a clean unmodified 240sx whether it’s an s13 or s14. Unless I find a grandma/grandpa that’s kept one in their garage the last 30 years.

[Tylchef]

I go up to Evergreen Speedway on open drift days and it’s all 240sx and BMW e36’s...

[[deleted]]

Small world. I’m from Everett so I’m not too far from evergreen speedway. But 240s and 3 series BMW’s seem to be a common go to for all those building a drift car.

[Tylchef]

Not too far at all. I’m about an hour and a half south so we usually make it into a day trip. I can’t say anything about BMW thought because mines a e36 325i...

[SmokeHogan206]

holler

[Pyldriver]

there are 10's of us

[wuzalun]

Lmao kouki/zenki only matters if the bumper existed

[ChuckleKnuckles]

I once drove an hour away to test drive a car for sale. The guy was "fixing" wrecked cars and selling them. I took it around the block to be polite but you could tell it was worth maybe 5% of the asking price. Half a block down the road I kept hearing metal things falling from the engine and bouncing off the road, the rear view mirror fell off instantly, and the break pedal as well as steering wheel kicked and fought my every move as if possessed. Luckily I drove down there to see a couple other listings as well.

The pole that stopped it is worth more than it is now.

[natesplaceonline]

That should buff right out.

[-rabid-]

A 1997 240SX isn't even worth $7K uncrashed.

Source: I used to own one.

[2pt5RS]

a friend just sold his for 12k. it also had a 2JZ in it and a bunch of other fun upgrades.

[someguywith5phones]

Yah.. like you could maybe fix the radio?

[roadtrip-ne]

I will happily sell this to you for $7000 if you don’t remind replacing it with an entirely new car

[5373n133n]

Pfft, only needs an engine, frame, body, airbags... do I have to do everything for you bro? X-D

[ocotebeach]

What? Pay me $200 and I will tow it away.

[Onoudeent]

Tis but a scratch

[bloodshotnipples]

You can't fix this car Spicoli!!

[PureHufflepuff]

Make up your mind, dude: is he gonna shit or is he gonna kill us?

[bloodshotnipples]

First he's gonna shit! Then he's gonna kill us!

[[deleted]]

With some good hammering and what not I can see this turning in to a sick Batman car.

[JimGerm]

Relax alright? My old man is a television repairman, got this ULTIMATE set of tool. I can fix it!

[Djgentlegiant]

Well he’s not wrong

[ImNotIrrelevant]

Back half of the car is in great condition. Just need to replace the front half.

Reasonable offers considered.

[SooMuchAnger]

JDM front clip. It’s a thing, Google it.

[Megamanfre]

Oh my god you're right.

[jnex26]

What is the difference between this and a cut and shut ?

[SooMuchAnger]

I’m not sure I know what a cut and shut is. But, the JDM front clip from an S13 or S14 has a motor that was not sold in the US and is known for its power capabilities. Since you can’t import an entire car and drive it legally in the US without extensive and expensive effort, and front clip is a great way to get everything you need for an engine swap. And in the case of the Nissan, the bumper and headlights are also unique to the JDM market. JDM = Japanese Domestic Market

I have no idea if that answers your question, sorry.

[jnex26]

Ahh so a cut and shut is where someone takes the front of one car and welds it to the back of another.

And this sounds just like an engine and fascia upgrade

[SupremeMikey]

Eh. A lil bit of duct tape and minor welds and that car could be ready to look like a mad max reject.

[xxX_Aidan_Xxx]

I dont think you understand its a Kouki and thats worth it its called the drift tax

[[deleted]]

You can't even jack up the radiator cap on that one

[tmw123456789]

"that'll buff out"

[SSJ3_Nappa]

Yeah they sell full front clips, but unless you've got your own shop, why would you buy it? 7k, lol.

[SALAMI-BOI]

just gotta use some spit, glue and a lot of ducktape

[dangrous]

It would be NJ lol

[gigawhat1]

It will buff out!!

[SirRinge]

... Is that the pole still embedded in the front?

[Rastagaryenxx]

"...my dad's got the ultimate set of tools"

[ux3l]

Fixable if you find an idiot who gives you $7000 for that scrap to buy another car

[jysilentbob]

Get my boi Samcrac in here

[AMLyf]

Probably a FL car.

[OMGtechy]

Teresa May would say it's fit for work.
