my civic has been fairly well setup as NA track car so i'm gonna keep it that way. i wasnt necessarily looking to do a 240, i was also looking into possibilites of 180 also, as that would help in the cost factor. but of course 240 is preferable <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

yes b000st is an addicition....and i miss it!! 3 years of NA and i am ready to hear that snail winding up <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'> definitely go SR route. i might get some flames on this one, but i was originally going for this to get it fast straight line. not that i dont want to try the drifting thing, yes its cool and fun and all but on an everyday scale that is just not that realistic. so above all else, i want the car fast first. then later i'll worry about setting up more towards being able to track it.

when you refer to a 180sx you do mean the 240sx Fastback...
Unless you are in Japan then it is also a 240sx.  Neither car came with "boost" they are both N/A cars.  Only in Japan (maybe some other countries) did the Silvia/180sx come with "boost."  You can always do a conversion if you are up to it or turbo the N/A KA motor.  Either way you are looking to spend alot of money.  Learn its steering capabilities before you turbo the KA or get an SR... it is still fun driving with out them  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Good Luck with your 240 (when you get it)   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
