Well, good luck with that. I sold my 240 about a year ago, I'm still happy I got rid of it.

Get an alarm. A good one. 240's attract d-bags better than a pregnant Britney Spears.

Also, get prepared for people to ask you if it's a ford probe. Don't forget to check for front tension rod bushings, they're probably toast, replace them.

On the plus side, there are way too many parts available. SPL Racing was one of my favoarite companies. SPL PARTS

Thanks for the link, I've been looking for more websites like this. I'm gonna have a job pretty soon, so I'll make sure to get an alarm.

Not a wannabe drifter. I'm actually gonna try to keep it as stock as possible, except for a few things on the interior. Not really gonna be a ghetto ricer.

Now do the right thing and stick the spoiler back on that poor MR2. That alone is proof you are never allowed to come back.

Get the X-Type wing and rear lights, makes it look a lot better IMHO. I wouldnt mind having a coupe or if I had a hatch I would go different and do the Silvia front.

I put the spoiler back on the day after I took it off. I want 180SX tails. I wouldn't have bought a 240 coupe. They look too much like older integras.

I hope you realize there are 2 styles of 180SX tail lights, early and late... Before you buy new lights you should consult the ghetto ricer handbook about modifying tail lights before essential parts of the car.

Here's another link PDM Racing - Lighting

No matter how hard you try, you can not get it to go 240mph in 2 seconds like you can in nfs underground 2.

I'm sorry, this must be devastating.

I agree those things get stolen so often, most rwd nissans do, the scumbags were eyeing the base 93 manual skyline that I stole fair and square when I had that and even smashed all the windows(actually I think the owner did that but whatever long story). You better get a good alarm or it will get jacked.

Legal! Now go do some flybys of some horsey people

I will send you a PM of the spring heights on the pan compressed in a minute, I'm not sure how compressed they are I haven't got a compressor here to pop their tops.
