All of you 15 and 16 year old kids think you can drive a car, pretty well or "exceptionally well" yeh, I could drive a car straight and turn also when I was 16. **** I could do it when i was 13. But thats not knowing how to drive. Knowing how to drive is knowing what to do in split second circumstances between crashing the car or nearly crashing it. Learning how the car handles in extreme conditions and learning how to worry about other people not just yourself. So a 15 year old with a nissan 240 and who wants power has to learn several things first. I dont care what you think, when you have been driving for only a couple years you essentially DONT know how to drive. We are all like that. Take my opinion or leave it, Im not trying to offend anyone, its just a life lesson I have already learned and Im only 20 (still learning to drive).

Those comments are fine, I agree. Brakes, suspension, those are smart investments at a younger age, and fun too.

definitly, burtonsnowman i hope you read the ^^ 2 posts, it would be a wiser decision to make your car handle better then go fast, and dont worry about the occasional ricer that wants to drag race, tell him that it takes more skill to auto x a stock car then drag race, then we will see who will win.

also, auto crossing doesnt rule out other idiots on the road that fool around and spin out right in front of you

Intake and cat back is not too great and not worth it without other upgrades. I put in a short ram air intake and a nismo air filter, and I wish I haven't. Alot of low end torque was taken away. Sure, it sounds better, but it doesn't run better. I say short shifter, and suspension. Short shifters only cost about $70 and takes less than an hour to install. Suspension is a little expensive, I got the Tein Type Flex with the EDFC unit. The 240sx has some understeer that doesn't make for good driving. LSD wouldn't be a bad investment if you have $800 laying around. It doesn't matter how much power you have unless if it makes contact to the ground.

I think 140hp is plenty for 15 year old with his first RWD.
