One of the articles linked to on his site mentions he works at some shop, Vspec performance. But yeah I do remember way back on the 240SX.org gallery he had a purple and white leather interior.
But the car itself ain't so bad. Yeah it's got a ricey body kit (even if it's JDM) and it's covered in stickers but it still makes 300 hp. I'd lose the body kit and stereo but the mechanicals are solid.
This VW that I linked to, I don't know of the guy but I look at the car and find it to be monumentally stupid because it's probably slower than when it was stock.
