jdmwill loves his mini-trucking
 

since my gay-a-t s13 project is almost at its completion. all it really needs is aero, wheels and Mr.Peter from fivestars to splash some paint on her. I decided it was time to get a little truck so i could do some of my business around town. there is only so much space on the 240 for tires you know.

well luck may have it one of our good customer was parting ways with her pick up. so for the awesome price of $200. i'm the proud owner of a 1989 mazda b2200. i know its not a nissan hardbody but it will do for now.

so of course for $200. it came with it's share of little problems. like a warped cylinder head and a leaky water pump. the body is pretty much rust and accident free. my current plans calls for cylinder head rebuild and new water
pump.

Future Build Plans

as any of my personal cars it cant be stock in no way. it has to be different in one way or the other. as i did some research i found out the turbo mx6/probe engine is similar to the carburated boat anchor i have now. But there are some minor issues with the cylinder head. same thing i delt with the silvertop in the ae86 that i had. the distributor is on the back of the cylinder head and will hit the firewall. so my plans are to use the turbo block with the na head. now this is still a theory im still researching.

couple of mods i wanna do

conservative
wheels 16x8 0 offset

throw a rotary in that bitch. should be a fun lil truck when its fixed.

nice pick up man, :lol:

thought of it for a split second. nick at elite jdm has a sweet uber low mileage s5 turbo II swap from japan i have eyed for the past couple of month's. but it wont give me what i really want out of the truck. which is reliability and tons of torque. when i did the research on the probe/mx6 turbo engine the power numbers cought my eye. stock at the crank 135hp and 165 tq i beleive. with a little tuning and a bigger turbo i should have those numbers at the 200 and above range. i even thought of dropping a ka-t but i still want to keep the a/c and powersteering.

sell it....to me.

no sir

I have two questions...

A. does it have heat?

B. does the ac work?

I sat KA-T... you got the motors hanging around...

oh and you gotta drop it too...

a. steam blowing out of emty radiator currently

b. yes driver window works fine in winter

get a price on dropping her a bit too....

Yo dude lower it on the jdmwill style

How much are you planning on lowering it?

may look like this when done. hell it gonna look alot better than this.

yeah that the plan with some streched 225/50/16

low enough to look good, but high enough to carry heavy loads.

Get some diamond racing steelies. I'm gonna have them make me some 15x10's for the rear of the 240. Pretty cheap too and they make any size and offset.

But do you need multiple projects? Just clean it up, make it mechanically safe, and ghetto cruise that thing. **** you saw my truck, that's straight ghetto rolling. Im gonna have mine painted thins summer, and then I wanna KA-T it. That way I can be that guy with the Chevy powered Nissan and the Nissan powered Chevy.

wow will take me drifting in that truck :lol:

Hahaha. I saw this beast chillin' over the weekend.

will, youre my dad.

Holy crap that thing is filthy. Look at all the dust on that dash lol.

not until the paternity test gets back.lol

even im scared to go in there...once she's running again i'll have somebody detail the sheddar out off her.

wear a wigg, tight skirt, and fake boobs and i'll think about it. definetlly not gonna attemp nothing close to drifting her.lol


this is why i like you becuase man you think outside the box

Well I am still waiting to see and hear that beast you been working/hiding... but I do like your thinking...

Any thing new?
