I scooped up a long abandoned 240SX with an SR20DET swap from an old buddy for a cool grand! The goal is to get this thing fired up for the first time since the Iphone 1 came out! Watch as we dig through layers and layers of trash, animal waste and a ton of nature's metal candy:RUST!

a 240 with an intact front bumper? it should be in a museum.
Funny you say that, i bought a 92 red 240sx absolute mint condition in 98 from a car lot for $5900 and within a year fell asleep at the wheel and ran into the back of a 80 ford f100 doing 80mph - totalled my car out nearly, all it did to the truck was scratch the back bumper alittle and bent it down slightly. In my ignorant youth i kept adding water and driving it leaking through the rad. Until it run dry and blowed the motor up.
I'm not jealous....I'm not jealous
You are...
maybe tony will trade for one of your cars....
Lol I am Jealous of SO many of your cars bro!
I am definitely Jealous 🤣 car that rusty here still be 5k atm 🥵🇮🇪🤙👌💯☘💙💚💙💚💙
hey tavarish! big fan of your videos
First - Tony is the man. Second, having watched a number of these "will it runs" and dealt with a few abandoned vehicles myself, when (WHEN???) will people learn that a leaf blower is your best friend? Leave that pig outside, mask up/goggle up and blow away. Then you can use a shop vac (if needed) or shop air. But 99% of what you need to do can be done outside with a leaf blower (inside the car, too), electric or gas, in less than 5 minutes, and the rest of the journey is far less miserable. Also, can we talk about the Pontiac on the lift? GXP?
People sleep on a battery blower for real
I remember when these were new. I thought it was one of the most beautiful cars ever.
The used JDM motor market is crazy right now. A lot of engines I used to get for 1.5-2.5k are now like 5-10k.
The popularity will go down again it’s okay brother
@@brittanymillerry2327 i hope so
@@proton001 I knocked back an R32GTR rolling car in mint condition , only the engine missing for 5K about 5 years ago ..........
I want a time machine to go back and kick myself up the ass !!
It’s so Good that we still get to see you in Australia via youtube
Holy chit it sounds mint! That's unreal ! I'm hyped to see Tony back in a 240! With Tuerk back in a drift house, feels like the DA days are back baby!
HKS intake? that is an essential piece to any older generation, original 90's jdm enthusiasts.
Put one on my Outback. For fun, but it sounds good. :)
I know right! The foam is gone but I would keep it if I can!
Heck yeahh
Shit i ran a Hks exhaust on an e36 in the early 2000s lol wasn't just for jdm
This project is awesome Tony! Good to see you back! Can't wait to see you finish this beast up and take it to the freedom factory and do some drifting with cleeter!
Thanks! I think we might wind up at the FF one of these days soon.
24:18 This is how to test your Cam Angle Sensor. Also test Fuel Injector + Coil firing.
Good stuff Tony!
I like how CC says [Music] when the engine starts :D
240s are getting expensive af, that's a crazy deal.
Good job man, looking forward on the progress. Gave ya a thumbs up!!!
yo its been too long Tony, loving these videos. hope you keep em up
I am totally into this! Coming from a Ford guy, KEEP IT PONCHO! That is a sweet ride from before my time. Stay true to period, and let the new school kids know what's up. What's old is new again. I love this machine!
Good to see you back doing what you do. Hope you can let use stay tuned more.
A Hooptie fleet where you work on everything the right and wrong way in a long enough video that I can actually understand what your doing. You found your niche me thinks (and me likes).
was just thinking about this channel yesterday, and wondering what you'd come up with. well played, sir. well played.
Dope!!! Imma stay tuned on this project. So cool to see u bring ur inner drifter out haha
As always Tony awesome content. It is great to see you working on something that will be made to go sideways. Good luck man Kuddos!!!
Happy to see some S chassis content! I've got an 89 hatch with an SR20det redtop that's even worse than this, and getting a 93 hatch that I'm swapping all the goodies from the 89 into. This is great motivation for me. Hoping to see you out at some local tracks Tony 😎
This reminds me of the MCM 240. Another s13 with an sr20 that hadn't run in a long time and ended up being mint
My 1st car was a red s13 hatch w blacktop sr, that thing taught me how to drive, wish I held onto it. Never knew they would be where there at now
Can't wait to see this build. Glad you're back
Great video. Hope to see some more of this car!
I still have my old DG Trials NJ dvd. Y'all are responsible for getting me started way back when before drifting was mainstream. I miss my old drifting buds and all my s-chassis; it's a bit sad to see what time and negligence can do to an S13 but glad this one's with you my guy. I'm 40 now and dont have a project car but I still got the itch. Hopefully I can go sideways again before I die.
this is the build i’ve been waiting for with the right person building it. cant believe how smooth that sr ran lol. i’m taking the ka out for a k24 on my hatch. will be keeping up with your personality build.
Cool car! I like it that you kept the drum brakes for now, and didn’t go all crazy with conversions and modifications. Looking forward to seeing more of this car :-)
Hell yeah Mastodon! lol Loving the channel, Keep it up!
Just watching all your video's makes me smile.. and watching your channel grow is so rad. Yes ! I've watched every video but a couple. And im doing that tonight.. hoping you have more on the burner,cooking up for us the viewer's..
Now check where the diff is bolted in cause all 4 of my Nissan’s had the natures floor delete.
And drivers seat rear mounts. Always rust speed holes there also
yeah!! Hearing it fire up was awesome. And it ran so smooth!! My 89 Mr2 with a 3sgte swap has been sitting for the same amount of time (since 09). Friend was helping me with it and sadly he passed before we could finish it. I really hope to get it going someday!
I went to that concert 😃much love from Detroit 👍 THANX nice ride 💪
"Nothing in there except ghosts of gasoline past ..." ... as the 5 gallons Tony is dropping in the tank runs out on the floor :o)
And at current Pa fuel prices with the countries 2nd highest fuel tax, ouch!
I'm a muscle car guy now, but I loved my peppy imports back in the day. Great vid, man!
It’s nice to see some New England reality on my feed. Keep it up!
Great to see you back, and nice to see the engine fire.
That picture you shared of when it was sinking into the ground reminds me of a 240 I've seen in a downtown mechanic parking lot in my area. Same color. Just rotting away. Sad to see. Glad you are rescuing this one.
Awesome stuff Tony! Audio still needs a little touch up but still a great video.
Can’t wait for this to progress!! I bought a 180 rolling shell just over a year ago and I’m just about to start my own build so this will be great inspiration!!
I think you missed an opportunity at the end to tell us to, "stay tuned."
Sounds buttery smooth. You got a good one sir. Subscribed for more SR goodness. Peace
Really really enjoyed the episode of TST podcast you were on🤙
Hyped to see some of your content man 🤙🤙
Cool car Tony. When do we see part 2? Or you busy with the Pontiac?
You rock brother! Can’t wait to see that thing rip!
Nice Tiger Army shoutout. Awesome band. Used to listen to it too.
There's a 75 amp grey fuse in the fuse block in the engine bay. Check to see if thats good. It powers a lot of the accessories.
I feel like that oil pressure scene needed a "2000 years later" time card transition. Lol. Glad this thing is running; it sounds pretty healthy.
glad to see you back at it!
I snagged a 87k mile 93 convertible about a year ago that didn't run right for $3k. Zero rust, bone stock, excellent overall shape. The reason it didn't run right ended up being a disconnected ground for the fuel pump. Intermittent contact led to intermittent running. It's solved and runs like new now. Anyway, if you need a car that's basically all original (save for coilovers, wheels/tires, and an exhaust) as a reference, holler. I'm not too far from your Pottstown shop, I could bring it by on a Saturday or something.
That little timing chain guard at the front of the head? In between the cam gears? There was a nissan recall for that to be removed, timing chain begins to hit as it wears. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I am more of a hot rod dude but I am so stoked you are back on a JDM drift car. This thing is going to be sick!
Looking forward to seeing it run good and some nice JDM build
I have to tell you Tony, I was really nervous at first because it kind of sounded like the engine was out of time when you were cranking it, but it sounds really good! Hell yeah bro!
That's awesome! It actually sounds very smooth.
Glad to see a new video!
Cool next project. Cant wait to see you get it moving. Please get some microphones! :)
Just watching an old video and you mentioned the 1/2 year camero. My father had a 69 1/2 Camero he ordered special and drag raced it for a couple years before he had to sell it.
Dammm I been waiting to see your videos. Especially love this video since I’ve owned a couple 240sx with sr engine
What’s up with the Pontiac On the lift with a front mount intercooler
Dude, you needed to advertise this channel! Loved your stuff on Motortrend. Subbbbbed
Got that HKS filter though.... Stoked to follow!
Nice to see some fresh content again!
Keep em coming! A little tiger army background music would be just fine too haha
I would be down, but we can't afford it lol.
@@StayTunedTA I mean every shop needs a cover band... cheers looking forward to all the episodes to come!
Good to see ya, TA!
#LetsParty
Classic sr20 taking ages to build oil pressure when just cranking. Luckily they are pretty hardy engines, im kinda surprised the cams didnt get any surface rust on them but hey thats a major win! Hopefully you have good fun with her and put on some sensible oil control measures for it to stay happy.
Not sure if you meant the s13 was the first 240sx we got in America, but we had the S12, S110, S11 and S10 here in the US. They were badged as the 200sx, but they rarely get the love the later S Chassis cars get.
S12'S are amazing. I'm not sure they'll ever get the accolades they really deserve before they're all crashed drifting or rusting in fields though.
man im so glad you making youtube vids!
Please keep the hot rods in the mix. The jdm stuff is cool too but American muscle is king. I'll stay tuned as long as you keep up on the content. Nice work Tony.
I remember when I flat bed towed my 68 Firebird, that had been sitting for years, from my parents house to mine. There was debris, dirt, mice droppings, mice nest "stuff" etc, pouring out of my car for 10 miles!!🤣 Your 240sx totally reminded me of that event. lol
Definitely change the back freeze plug on the block when you have the Trans out next.
They like to rust out when they've sat a long while had a few sr's do it to me...
+1 mastodon and tiger army
+1 og Drift Alliance
Welcome back!
Keep posting these great videos.
It will be great to see work on a small efficient 4 cylinder making good HP. Interesting project car. The LS swap 240SX are nice, but with a lighter engine that should handle very well.
That sounds soooo good. I've had two SR20's and miss that sound.
Keep up the great work Tony we miss you we would like to see you more often…
Thanks! Planning on being around a good bit more.
Thats going to be a sweet drift racer. Tone is that man!
Looking forward to the next episode!
East coast rust hits different
That's a sick car, I love 2nd gen integras ! 😂
thats sick! I am a huge fan tony!
Nice job getting it running Tony 🤘🏽
What is you plan for this? Stock engine? I'm guessing a roll bar and new suspension? What about all that rust? Are you going to replace sections of the frame? Are you going to do anything about the body?
I like the episode and the build for sure but bro. Safety first! Fr fr
Only the real fans know who Angelo is ! Glad to see you back brotha !
This is the true spirit of drifting. Homies NOT ripping each other off for Japanese econo boxes with ridiculously common shells & motors to have fun
I screamed it's alive content like this gives me motivation to tackle my head gasket job
That has some nice ventilation. The drafty drifter.
Oh wow. This looks just like my old 89. Coupe with the same color. Its so pretty. That cracked water bottle, if it was an automatic I'd swear it was mine.
This was a good motivation boost. Unfortunately my Sr has been fighting me for the last year.
Hoping to see a series of videos with this car!
Can’t wait to see you work your magic.
IM SO READY FOR THIS BUILD!
Tony decided to grace us "normies" with his knowledge and wisdom again.
we need you back in formula D my man
Tony this is a blast from the past. I (forever ago...) actually went with Ryan when he went to first look at this s13 before bought it. Hope you are doing well man. I'll be checking out your videos.
No way, that's awesome! Didn't you have an xr4ti?
@@StayTunedTA i had many different cars back then. Barkers old crx that you helped me swap a motor in, xr4ti, topics old 240... all kinds of fun stuff! Glad to see you are doing well man.
Defs need a T/A or Stay Tuned imagine on the video thumbnail, sounds like I am not the only one that scrolled past the vid, glad I caught it, and also, mastodon rules.
looks identical to a Onevia I was looking at like 2 years ago up in Reading
Love the video, but wheres part 2 Tony??. Gotta see the outcome.
It’s being edited right now!
@@StayTunedTA Awesome ! Look forward to it. Cheers
Sick show Tony
