[LanceS13]

If all goes to my master plan <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':devil:'>
By the end of Summer '03:
Full rebuild of spare engine and turbocharged. &nbsp;Probably just use a ~12psi wastegate spring and skip the boost controller for stage 2. &nbsp;Also remove rear seat, emissions equipment, and anything else I can remove for SM.
Spring '03:
Front Z brakes, proportioning valve, and Nismo or Kaaz LSD. &nbsp;Any extra money will go to finishing the engine: boost controller, pulleys, electric water pump and fan.
One of these years:
4 or 6 pt. roll bar/cage, one piece seats, 5pt. harnesses, 5-lug conversion, rear Z brakes, Z MC, custom Kodiak 17x10" aluminum wheels wrapped in 275/40/17 A compound Hoosiers with custom/JUN fender flares, JIC coilovers (possibly with custom rates), adjustable suspension arms/rods, fiberglass hood, PDM aero package, Mustang "GT" spoiler, and new paint.......and I dream on......

[MyFirst240SX]

Well hear are my plans for my lovely SOHC Hatchback
next mouth go ahead and my put the car under the knife and after a mouth or two of nice work will i have

91 or above front bumper cover, and a newly painted my hood
and of course a small engine change to a 302 HO

then a LSD

then the plans go for if this works how i want just use the spindles off my friends 99 gt and use his rotors and that might be a possiple 5 lug conversion if not im going DragLites*

i want a 6 psi charger since they are rather cheap for the 5.0's but that will come when i get used to the power/ and get Traction!
after that im going to try for somesort of Really stiff suspension to make up for the weight
