HISTORY:

Well here is how the story goes of how I got my S14. It all started when I bought my first car. It was a 1995 Nissan Altima GXE. I began modding the car immediately with Carbon Fiber Trim, Shift Knob, APC racing pedals, and my neon accent lights. YAH! I know. LAME. LOL! Later that month I installed a custom catback exaust. About one week later, a lady ran a stop sign and totalled my car.







I came out of the wreakage without any injuries. I was carless for about a month until I purchased a 1993 Acura Integra LS.



The car was in a sad condition. I revived it with a whole interior swap, a custom catback exuast, and an ACT racing clutch. I loved that integra very much, but one day my heart just told me to look in the newspaper classifieds. There I saw it... my dream car. It was the first car listed... a 1995 240SX SE. I immediatly called the owner and arranged a test drive session the next day. The day after I test drove the 240, I sold my integra and bought the 240SX. The rest is all history in the making...
