Here is the first official Club240 Project Car. We will be doing extensive build articles on this vehicle available from the front page, but untill then, I thought I would give you guys a preview.

The vehicle is a 1990 180sx (actually a converted 240...) Originally built for Forumula D as an S13.4. We purchased this vehicle as a rolling chassis with the intention of making it an unlimited class Time Attack car and compete at the top of its class. The build is nothing too particularly crazy, but well balanced, light, and professionally driven. So on to the specifics:

Chassis
12 Point Roll cage
Stitch welding entire chasis
Heavy weight reductions with a goal weigth of around 2150 wet
Custom bracing at specific suspension and chassis points

sexy.

This APR wing will hopefully dwarf the car

The wing is being custom sized to our specs. The diffuser will be reminscent of the Yashio Factory S15

I wasn't being sarcastic, for a car at competition level that look is beast. Also who is supplying the S14 front conversion? Or was that only the plan for the D1 incarnation?

looks good

We removed the custom zenki s14 in favor of the standard 180sx. We may change this again next season

looks good.

Looks like a beast. Plaster it in club240 decals and rep the forums! lol.

Good advertising if ya ask me.

i think that's why it's called "club240 project time attack" :p

looks sweet!! i like the cage.

Yeah, looks good man! If you want to get rid of that front bumper I'll buy it.

New pics of the project going on a diet. Removed about 50 lbs out of the rear and we are moving the fuel cell and battery up
