Okay everyone. After literelly 2 years of waiting, reading everyone else's posts, and doing even more reading, I AM GETTING MY OWN 240SX.
And guess what... I have no noob questions. :cool: Arent we proud of me (joke). but ya. about 31 days till I am done with Oxbow (an art school for high schoolers in Napa Cali). So excited. Days of dreaming will soon be a reality. :D ;) So lets start the count down. 31days... left

Congrats! You might want to go ahead and get some experience with the car before you make it faster, unless you got the skills to pay the bills. :D

That's great, congrats!

Do you have a particular model/year range that you're going to be looking at? I'm assuming that if you've been researching this for 2 years, you have a particular plan for what you'd like to do. Clue us in! I like reading about what other people are doing/plan to do, helps me to learn.

So this is my story. After two years of driving a volvo (not a bad car in anyway), our family just got a new driver, my sister. she of course gets a new car (its this who she is a girl and needs a reliable car etc etc). okay, thats cool with me. But once i get back home (like i said i am in cali right now), I will need a car to go to and from school/work. Since the present program I am in is extremely intense (basically art college) my parents have decided not to get me just any car, but the 240sx (actually my dad can now spot them out of a crowd of cars). This also is a tri graduation/eagle scout/finishing oxbow with good grades gift. I mean if you take all the time i have had to work on all three, I would easily could have worked and been driving my 240sx a LONG time ago.

Plans go as followed
Buy in may (hopefully)
Drive the car around for as long as possible
Suspension and Brake upgrade
and I will stop there for probably end of July
were i will hope to have enough money to buy a SR20
from there I am not sure. I dont even know if the SR20 will become a reality in one summer. Hopefully it does, but if it doesnt, there is always that cash that i saved up during the summer to buy a SR later on in the year. Right now I am just waiting to get my hands onto my 240 and see how I would like to improve upon it.
