Picked me up an '89 S13 for cheap asf but here's the catch. There was no key. Anywho's I had a single cam motor I'd put together about a year ago, just didn't have a shell to throw it in.... This isn't my first 240sx but it's been a while and the car has been dearly missed.I just got off the phone with Pop-a-lock to set up an appointment to have a key molded so I'm pretty stocked. I already dropped the motor into it but there are still a few parts that I need to acquire before getting her out on the road. I also went ahead and installed some Drop Engineering Coilovers, I removed one of the collars off of each of the two fronts for just a tad more of a drop. Needless to say, she's sitting low but I'm very pleased. Not to sure how she rides yet but I'll be finding about soon enough. I'd saved all my interior from a passed 240sx so I'll be putting all that in there as well as a NRG quick release and hub to go with my Nardi Wheel.

I'm not a newb to cars or to forums so no bs, please. We're all grown here.

I'll be posting some pics of her up later for y'all to check out.

I'm really wanting some tires with either a raised white outline or white lettering but it's been a difficult search. Most the tires that come up are for trucks and SUV's... Any tires would be fine, that's just my preference. I want a 205/55/15, I could maybe go with a 50 series tire but I don't want the car to drop more than where it's at now. The tires I have now are 195/60's but it's too much meat to fit in my wheelwell.

Any other low s13's out there rolling on 15's? If so, what size tire are you running?
