Welcome!Pretty clean car and a great start. Even came with a lip!Please do something with that red center console :PWhat are your plans for it?

[Vinchenzo]

yeah well ive been searchen for 1 1/2 years but only recently been able buy one with in the last month.

but lol yeah, that center console is getting a fresh black coat of paint here in a few days.

my plans are to just get used to it first, its my first car ( i just turned 16)so i got to learn 5 speed first and formost.

but later down the road, some coilovers, 300zx brakes, then sr20.

Other than the rice steering wheel cover all in all a beautiful starter car. I took note you said you're 16=young driver. Although sr is cool and whatnot how do you know that's what you want? ka dohc's are cheaper and easier to find. unless you want gobs and gobs of power don't settle on a motor just because other people like em. You can relatively (yet reliably) reach good hp with the ka. Not telling you what to do I just suggest do alot of research. And drive a 300 hp car befoe you make up yourmind. Consider things like where the car will be driven hard. drift? drag? autox? Also consider how much money you wanna spend. If you decide you do want a buttload of power and wanna spend $ on the sr then why not go the extra mile and go rb? just take your time a build isn't meant to be concieved and achieved in a small amount of time. Other than that your first 240 makes me jealous
