Hey guys. My name is Anthony and I'm from Southern Oregon. I am a member of the Oregon Army National Guard and currently deployed in Iraq. But I will be home in September and am pretty excited about that. I recently went home on leave and picked up this 240sx. Here are some of the details ( I honestly don't know too much yet, as I was only with the car a couple weeks):
1990 240sx
5 speed
Rebuild DE
Megan Header
2 1/2 in exhaust
Front and rear Strut bars
Welded Diff
All paint/body work was done at local shop
Pioneer headunit
Memphis audio component system in doors
2 JL 10s with Infinity Amp
HID kit
17in Drag rims

Its pretty clean, not too bad
My plans include: (if you have any of this for sale let me know)
Continue De-Ricing it
Turbo the KA
Replace suspension and add coilovers
Get some Kouki Tails with the black center
Get some wheel Spacers
Needs new coolant overflow
etc.

Here's some Pictues: some changes since but nothing major. ie. new oem shift boot, etc

Thanks for looking. Like I said I'll be home in September and the car will see some changes for the good. Looking to buy some parts and have them waiting for me when I get there.
Any questions/comments let me know, Thanks

Welcome, nice car so far bro. Also +1 for being a military man. All you need now are some wider wheels to side more flush with the bosy and you would be set.

Hey hey man welcome. Car looks nice and work seems good, but I wouldnt waste my time with spacers with those wheels. Not talking s*** b/c currently my 240 is sitting on a set of those ( either those or the ground and i like my cars to move ) but spacers arent going to to d!ck. Look into another style of wheel, there are many threads here about xx wheel on xx year 240 just take your time look and ask questions.

Otherwise looks like your off to a good start

Bet you've had good time to think about this before you got home. Hope to see it around the area when I head up to Medford in Nov. Not a ton of moded 240's, so I should be able to pick you out.
