wow it only took like 4 months to join this place. idk what was the deal but it just now let me join.
anyways picked up two mitsu mm for 600, both ran. one came with a title but is wrecked, the other has no title or keys (donor)
i had plans to keep both but since im moving back to dallas (currently in houston) its kinda hard to drive 3 trucks (my ford f250 daily + 2 mm)
well anyways the wrecked truck got a new head and timing belt by the previous owner and since it wasnt a carb model head it just needed an inline fp. done and done, started up after the inline pump and ran kinda crappy. story short it just needed a good tuneup. after that it ran allright, then finding out the carb took a shit. just ordered the carb not to long ago should be getting that in a couple weeks.
well i came from a nissan background, drove my 240sx since i learned to drive. i drift and just got realy bored with the s chassis and ive always wanted a mini truck. so i was on the hunt and found these.
the plans are to just get it running so i can drive it home, once there its going to be tore apart for 1jzgte swap, 240sx front sus, cross memb, etc cut knuckles, 5 lug, rear is going to get irs.full cage, 240sx steering colum, race seat. the truck is getting coilovers (240sx) and it's probably going to be rolling on 17x9(f) 17x10/18x10(r)
anyways blah blah its only a dream so far.


anyways i call the build project maxine:

baha- i tryed to reg, and it just doesnt go through idk. but im here now.
yaha 1uzfe's are awesome, but doing a 5 speed is just as much as going 1jz or 2jz.
