What should I do???

Post by **rousie13** » Tue Dec 07, 2004 3:55 pm

I'm trying to decide on a project to start in a few months. Just pick what option you'd do and say why. I really appreciate this as I'm having a hard time deciding. I'm looking for something to have fun with, looks good, and people respect it's power.

Go for the classic 240z!

hmm, thats a tough one... I personnally get a kick outta old school 280Z's but I know my plans are an SR in my car eventually...

but 350s in 280s are SICK

Anyone have any other input on this? If you own an example of what I might do, tell me about your likes and dislikes. I had a regular KA 240sx before, so don't know how the turbo's are.

Hmmm you already know my opinion but I'll say it again. Go for the 240sx with the built KA.

I voted for the old z... it would be the least expensive project, get the most head turning, and scare people at lights.

Least expensive? I'm not sure how much those awful dinosaurs of engines are, but just the car itself is probably gunna require moderate restoration, and god forbid any rust. Plus the chassis just wasn't intended to take big power and is flimsy. The later 280's were better in this regard but the 240's need some decent frame bracing and a thorough checking-over to make sure the metal-to-rust ratio is atleast 1:1.

You can guess what I voted for

240 w/built KA-T. I expect to see pictures and video of the project, including any injuries incurred along the way (because believe me, there will be plenty). Enjoy.

Oh, and of course a built KA-T would dominate the other choices.

wow that is a really hard one to pick...if you go ka-t let me know.

Thanks for the input guys....keep it coming.

The Z would most likely NOT be the most inexpensive. Restoration is EXPENSIVE. The KAT is my choice.
