Website FINALLY updated (7/2008)!!

This webpage documents the story of my 1995 Nissan 240sx, my first car, in its journey from an unmodified, prosaic car to a heavily-modified, turbocharged slingshot with supercar performance. This page will constantly be under construction, just as my car is. The basic attempt of this webpage is to convey the passion I have for this car as well as detail the numerous modifications she has undergone since being purchased six years ago.

I am constantly learning from my mistakes; by documenting the headaches, problems, and pitfalls encountered when undertaking the enormous project of turbocharging the naturally aspirated 240sx, I hope that this webpage might mitigate the stress one feels along the decidedly bumpy way. Each page has TONS of high quality, high-resolution pictures so be patient and let them load!

Here's a recent picture of the car for those who care more about what she looks on the outside than what's under the hood (where it counts!!).
