ok guys so i just got my first 240 from a guy on here. there were some rust spots but i got everything for 2300 and it looks like a clean car so i decided why not. anyways i got the sr20 shipped in and everything is coming together. i decided to get the engine bay painted in a gloss black and the guys did a great job i wasn't expecting it to come out as well as it did but i think it came out great. the motor was in great shape and so was the turbo no shaft play or everything. the car has tein shocks on it and exhaust. here are pics of the engine bay

I hear the VR38 is a good value. Pretty easy swap too.

Congratulations! It's always a nice feeling when you see all your hard work come alive. Don't worry about any SR haters. There's nothing wrong with the SR, just different tastes.
