I can tolerate a lot of noise in my cars, as long as I know what they are..

If its something thats untreatable, I'll just deal with it and turn the stereo up, thats probably why the 240sx has the louder stereo h:

The car looks damn good, bro. All that work deffinately paid off, now just keep it away from the scumbag theives.

Oh hai, look what I'm getting







1995 LS, B18 from an automatic car, so I know it wasn't beat on, just looking at the engine bay tells me it was some-what taken care of. He originally wanted $2500, I was able to work him down to $1700 because it needs a right fender, and a paint job, and it's rolling on steelies right now. Has a header, intake, B16 trans, stage 2 clutch, ACT Prolite flywheel, Skunk2 coilover'ss, etc.

First thing I do is picking up a fender, I'm painting it black in my friend's spray booth, getting a front lip, and a set of these;

Turns out that guy couldn't wait another day.

I called him earlier, and he said he sold it, and he just refunded my deposit on PayPal. Oh well, atleast he was honest and gave me my $$ back.

Now I'm looking at this


1995 Ls, 2000 front and rear conversion, all leather interior, red GT3's, and a crisp 90k miles on the car. $2700, not bad...the insurance company is gave me a $4200 check today.
