STORY
My name is Phil Russo. I'm 28 years old and cars became a part of my life when I turned 17 and purchased my first car. I've owned a few cars but this one sticks out like a sore thumb. I totalled my last car (‘09 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS), and when I was looking, I found this beautiful 240SX.

The car was already modified but a lot of issues needed to be taken care of before I started my own venture. After, I started modifying the car, beginning with some interior upgrades and working on the outside.

During the winter of 2013-2014 I pulled the motor and went with a bigger turbo, wire tuck, and a few more goodies around the car.

This build would not be possible if it wasn't for AutoCityImports.com. Any time I needed a part they were more then willing to help me out and their shipping and knowledge is beyond amazing! A few other shout outs must go to JDM GEEK, GetItDetailed, Petrol Werks, Quinn's Automotive, Chris Miller Racing, In-track Tires, and Matt Ross. Without these guys this build would not be were it is today.
