[Zaff0]

I just got my 89 240sx rsp13, manual trans, i got it for 900 bucks froma local impound lot, its all stock, and the motor has 210k miles on it, the first thing im gonna do do is baisc things like maintance to the motor, tranny, tune up, just make sure its running good, but after that what should i do? I wanna keep it clean and powerful, kinda like a sleeper, but i still wanna make it sexy, all ur advice would be apreciated

suspension first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[downshift_sideways]

First thing you do, get a new motor.

too much miles on that, its a disaster waiting to happen, Unless your a hardcore maintence mech.

hit a parking lot


hit a parking lot, but try to avoid the curbs.

trust me, they just jump at you sometimes lols.:love:

Do and replace all old parts with new oem stuff like that, "NO MODS" at all Drive the car and get to know the S-chassis push it untill you discover its flaws. Lots of newbs jump the gun and just start buying shit that they dont need yet cuz they dont have any idea how to controll the car when its got that certain mod on it or they just see it as over kill for the little skill that they have. If you have to upgrade do it little by little and built it right and dont skimp on quality as far as parts are concerned.

suspension. lsd. change oil often


don't worry about the mileage, just get a compression test. Soap from SpeedFactor ran perfect 160ish compression on his ka that has over 200k+

new tires and get a vlsd, 1.5 way lsd or 2 way.

imo, i can survive a mushy ride for a couple months, but i'd rather end the peg legging with a lsd unit first.

[lilaznjeff]

[infinitexsound]

dood u should like a k&n intake and like some obx headers and like those n1 style muffler tips. and like change out those bulbs and stuff and get some apc racing seats. :D

but like everyone else says just go suspension. id recommend tie rods or tension rods first, shocks/springs/coilovers next, rucas, then diff

[Zaff0]

[trsilvias13]

You have a RPS13?

Im not gonna be an ass... but change your oil, clean the car, u know drive it and feel what is wrong. It just like any other used car you buy. FIx all that wrong with it.

You're ghey...

I love people getting their head so big and start going on that jdm lingo crap...get over we all know what he's talking about.

Anyways to the thread starter...don't go to ghey parking lots. Go to a track event you'll learn more in a single event that going to a dozen parking lot "sessions". I suggest since an autocross event since you're a new driver and really get a handle for the car. Pretty cheap as well before going to a drift event. What is solo2 going for now? Like 45-60 bucks with a membership? 25 bucks a membership or something, it's been awhile sorry.

RPS13 huhhhhh, so your SR20 has 210k? jk

get the feel of the car then weld the diff, its ok to weld it if your going to drift :naughtyd:
