So bought this thing like a month ago. Not planning on doing anything crazy on it but still figured I'll make a thread about it.

Stock ka in all it's glory.
A bit rough around the edge, peeling clear coat, kinda rusty, rough interior. BUT, it came with BC racing coilovers, 17x9.5 MB battles, KAZZ 2-Way LSD, Megan headers, ISR 3" Catback, full set of Voodoo arms, other small stuff like Kouki led taillights, front clear lenses, S15 steering wheel.
All those parts (if brand new) add up to more than what I paid for the car. Then factor in the value of a manual 240sx with all it's body panels and interior pieces.
And still has A/C (hopefully it works in summer), cruise control (doesn't work because of s15 wheel lol), and even the original evap charcoal canister!
It made the 4 hour drive back no problem, even traversing 20 miles of compacted snow on the roads in 0F temperature where the previous owner lived (was quite the experience).
The clutch was pretty sticky and grabbed a bit high, so I replaced the clutch master and slave and bypassed the clutch damper. Also had to replace a brake caliper because it leaked all the brake fluid out of the rear right while i was doing the clutch hydraulic stuff. Sadly didn't fix it. New clutch time:

Ebay goodness, XTD "stage 2" clutch, 12lb flywheel. Need to install this asap. + Redline mt90 GL4 fluid. Clutch is gonna see a lot of abuse drifting so I don't want it to start failing mid event. So needs to be replaced
Also the unopened billet aluminum adjustable Voodo13 arms that it came with: Rear upper, rear toe, rear tract, ecc lockout, front tension, and outer tie rods

Oh yeah the dude also threw me some 18" 350z wheels (anybody want to buy them? lol), spare welded diff, and an ebay catback (gave to a friend),
Did some small stuff involving lights and horn for inspection tomorrow, *crosses fingers*. Want to start dailying it.
Besides that, the only other thing I want to do is install a bucket seat pretty much. Once it gets warmer I need to install new thermostat, aftermarket temp gauge, and silicon rad hoses. Better pads will also be needed. I want to shred off these tires on it right now then put some sticky 200tw 255's on it. Then get a set of spares for drifting.
April 20th first local drift event I plan on taking it to. So hopefully I finish everything I want to do on it by then. Also want to take it to some hpde events.
