Well I'm getting ready to sell a 95 civic hatch i've had for 3 years but I just got a 93 240sx. Im definately lovin this car more than the other POS i had. But since im new to havin a 240 im jus wondering what do you guys recomend as my next move on the car? The car is completly stock except for some tein superdrift coilovers that came with it. The engine has 328xxx miles on it. Pretty impressive, but i dont have the money for a new one so im askin what do you guys think i should do?

well first fix all repairs that are needed. then if your dont want to swap that motor out, then i would say get some new wheels and slam it and get a good looking stance

most people host pictures on a website and insert using the link to the image and the image icon when you are in full editor mode..

if you're planning on having a running car for awhile-replace everything you possibly can
if you wana have the most fun while you can-get some stupid big wheels and get low/weld the rear

looks pretty good man, 328 is super impressive. Looks good on the coils, but if you think that is slammed to the ground look at some of the other threads haha.

Thank you very much for asking for "advice". All the time I see people wanting "advise" and it's pretty confusing. It is greatly appreciated.

Welcome!
