Carlos Cegueda immediately fell for the body-style and lines of the 1990 Nissan 240SX. With its light weight rear-wheel drive platform, Cegueda says it's a great ride, whether modified or stock. His 240SX now includes a redtop SR20DET engine swap, 3-inch turbo-back exhaust and a Spec Stage 3 6-puck clutch.
