Seems like a good deal on that S13 coupe. You know all the stuff to look for when you test drive it. I would try for 2800. It's possible.

Yeah, after quite a few 240 test drives, I definetly know what to look for. I'm leaning more towards the coupe because I have always wanted a 91-93 240sx SE coupe. And black is my preferred color too!

And yes, I can still buy a new car once I find one. The Corolla is simply a temporary replacment for the Trooper. My parent's will probably just sell the Corolla once I find a car, and help me if I decide to get a new one.

edit: Another thing to think of: if I can get that coupe down to $2800 (which he's already accepted an offer of $3k) I'd have close to $3750 to play around with!!! Oh what joy! New KTS coilovers, wheels, and other bits for me...

Personally i would go suspension. then Turbo. MMMM turbo. Man go for it. I love my S13 coupe, and they just look so classy.

My shopping list goes something like this: (albeit, this is a shortened version)

KTS coiloversSPL links and all their other pretty stuff16x7.5 inch wheels (haven't decide yet)Z32 brakes w/ SS brake linesVLSDstrut bars, Nismo power brace, other chassis bracesWhiteline sways F&RCorbeau fixed driver seatSchroth harness

And then, CA18DET Or maybe just a fully built N/A setup with ITB's. I'll figure that out later. Oh, and body will be left stock...

Yes that is close to wat i want, although I may give my car a silvia front swap, and a nice groundeffects kit. Nothing flashy just really clean. I want the rascally CA18DET as well. Found one for 1995 front cut comes with drive shaft and VLSD as well. Wish I had money.

Well, I got the pics back from the seller of the 92 240sx, and it turns out it isn't a coupe. She was just referring to it having 2-doors, not the body style. Which is fine by me, I was just kinda hoping for a coupe. But, it actually has a gunmetal paintjob! Whoo! KG2 rocks...

Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until October to get it, because the seller is going off on vacation. But since it is a fastback, I'll probably go with a 180sx, kouki conversion with the Type-X aero package. Should look awesome!

I started out my 240 journy with a 90 hatch. they are neat, but I prefer the coupe. Good luck with it man. I hope it works out good for you. Excellent color as well.

Actually, I think I've really caught the RWD bug. My bro let me drive his MR2 turbo on a back road today and I'll I can say is: "Damn!" So I'm probably gonna get that 240sx. No Sentra for me!
