This is my first car that I purchased back in November of 2004 coming out of high school. I purchased this car after saving money for 2 years working at a Vertical Blind business at minimum wage so there is definately a lot of effort put into the upgrades.

When I first brought the car, I had a vision of what a 240sx should look like. I wanted the “Clean” look as people walk by the car. At the time, SR20 swaps were starting to get very popular and theNissan 240sx community mostly considered these swaps werethe only way to go as far as power goes. I didn’t want to join the SR20 bandwagon, so I turned to the KA-T. The decision at the time was frowned upon in the 240 community as the KA was (and still is somewhat)considered a generic “truck Motor” and not worthy of its place in a upgraded 240sx. I wanted to be different and prove to the local SR guys that a KA has lots of potential.I believe I have provenmy point.

My vision looked far away from completion but 4 years later, it turn from a vision to real life……
