If you had a brand new S13 or S14 and for as long as you had it were permitted to upgrade only one thing according to the choices below, what would it be? Explain your answer. And if I missed something ... too bad, it's my poll!

Nothing should be an option, if I had to choose just one, I would choose none. Why lower it if you can't change the wheels or get more power out of the motor? Why change wheels if its going to be 4x4 status? Why swap the motor if you can't improve the handling or the brakes??? If one change was my only option, I would sport it super duper clean and stock as can be.

suspension. straight line power is fun, but a good suspension can make a 240 feel like a vette.

Dude, what is with you? It's just meant to be fun. Did I do something to you so as to promote your antagonizing childish behavior in the last couple of my posts? Jeez man, you insult my girl and now this. You don't like it then I'd appreciate your lack of commentary.

Agreed. Each mod has or needs a supporting mod in another category just like holemilk00 was saying. It is kinda ricer-ish to do just one of those things.

If I could only do one mod, I wouldn't even get a 240. It's lacking in so many areas... Any car that I might want to modify is going to need at least two mods: Suspension & wheels/tires.

Instead of a 240, I'd pick something with a better powerplant... like a twin turbo Z32...

Thanks for your useless contribution.

If you can't post something nice, at least make it productive, or constructive.

Suspension: No point to having a fast car that doesn't handle well. And just lowering a 240sx is aesthetically pleasing.
