so....today i was driving home from school and a car lot that i pass everyday has a 1992 240sx with a bomex lip, coilovers, dark tinted windows, and a Midnight blue with a black pearl paint job and it is sitting right in there front.so being a 240 lover i turn around to take a look at it, then i drive it and the guy that had it did some good work to it, like LSD kit ( positrac baby ), the paint, body kit, coilovers, tint, injen cai, full catback exhaust, short throw shifter....... thats all that i could see visibly and it was just alot faster than mine, ( mines putting down 15.7 and its a 1990 with a little bit done) so i couldnt resist, whipped out the credit card and traded mine in for it! i only owe 1400 out of the trade which is good cuz the new one also has leather, sunroof and all the good stuff and only 100,800 miles so right now im excited as hell and ready to cruise the new 240. ill get my g/f to post some pics this weekend.

Damn!! You got hooked up phat!

Congratulations on the upgrade. Definitely go with a turbo setup. Make sure to factor some better brakes into the equation though. Since you can corner-weight the coilovers, you'll have decent handling. You might want to look into some sway bars, those are only a couple hundred bucks. You can probably get a brake upgrade and the suspension done for under a grand. That might take too much out of your turbo budget though.

it already has front and rear antisawy bars....so there is another good thing, and the car i traded it a 1990 with 120,000 a wrecked front end and they gave me 2600 for it cuz the 92 i just bought was going for 3900 so i got a badass deal cuz my old one wasnt worth but 1500 or so.......
