Ideal for this car is that I wanted a drift machine, autocross, rally and fun car.
At the start I'm utilizing the CA20E just to make it reliable underpowered car for my learning curve, but by summers end of 2011 I'll be swapping in a fresh KA24 DE / E that will one day be boosted with a turbo.
Picked up the Dirty faded Blue Nissan 200sx from Yakima, Washington.
When I bought it, it drove nice and shifted smooth. Took it to the nearest gas station to fill it up so I can drive it home but that is when the Timing belt shredded.
Spent about a month after that slowly breaking it down, and learning my cars engine functions.
New battery, new timing belt, new spark plugs and wires.
Learned that the CA20E is an interference motor, and suspected that all my valves are bent. So I've spent a day removing the head.
When I Removed the head, I Found some bolts stripped and broke, the fun and joy of it.
I got the head rebuilt, the valve grind job set me back about 160.
The rebuilt head in plastic
I had to move her recently to a storage facility =(
