If budget is you're issue, save up for a car that won't require work. 240sx's are great cars, but not if you are broke.
Thanks for the reply, I will probably be looking back to a s2000, but if I were to get this car of course I am planning to learn the things on it. Also I don;t think budget is an issue since I am not doing anything crazy like an engine swap or anything.

Just buy the car stock, get some aero parts, lower it and wheels which doesn;t seem to bad right?


Maybe I worded my opening post wrong, but I am not buying this car to drift or anything, just want a reliable DD car, but at the same time modding the exterior and not really doing anything engine wise. Would I be safe buying this car with over 100k miles?
