sorry for the delayed post. anyway....
a close friend of mine's cousin (confusing? sorry) is willing to sell the 240sx ls (standard, A/C, all the regular stuff) for 1500. i think thats a pretty hard price to beat. but if you can beat it, hey why not.
i'm going to spend 1500 for the car, then around 5k (i'm rounding because the shipping, insurance, installation, and all that other crap) for the sr20det (is that the best choice... seriously?). then get small wheels & good suspension... then drive it around like i just stole it

no just kidding.... its going to be a pleasure car for the track n all.
i was thinking doing exterior (Body kit... blahblahblah)... but i'm not exactly rich, so. .... yeah.
i'm a noob when it comes to fixing cars n all... so i'm getting my dad and my older brother to help me learn the things i need to know. hopefully this project car we're making helps us out.
well i hope that answers questions. and thanks everyone for your help.
