edit: you said that you wanted something easy for maintence.. if you want that, getta honda.. seriously, all you need is a few quarts of oil and gasoline and your set.

and unless i missed something what EXACTLY are your plans for this s-chassis "build"
is it just gunna be a daily, track car, ocasional track car..?
i dunno do as you like, all in all its you that are building the car, spending the money, making it to your liikings. not us.

When I get out with friends, the tire ratio goes up greatly, not to mention anything that breaks. So, there goes the cheap mod and maintenance idea. But what do I know about riding shit hard and putting it away wet.
Unless i'm completely missing something, I don't understand you guys at all haha.

No matter what car I have i'm going to want to mod it.

If I have my BMW then it's a lot of money to maintain AND a lot of money to mod.

If I have a 240sx then it's less money to maintain AND less money to mod.

Yes both cars will be a lot of money to mod, but the 240sx will be a lot less. Right?

Here are the scenarios as to when I would drive what car...
1) If my friend likes the S14's then we will try to get one between us for a project car. In that situation I would keep my BMW as a DD and still mod it to make it look nice.
2) If my friend doesn't like the S14's then i'll see if anyone wants to trade a S14 for my BMW and use the S14 as a DD that is modded/slammed.

The reason i'm steering away from keeping my BMW as a DD and pick up a S14 for a project is because I want to do a project car with my buddy so if he doesn't want to do a project S14 that's fine with me. It would be too much to have my BMW as a DD and pick up two project cars.

The reason I made this thread was to ask if you guys thought that the trade was good with the person I was talking about in the first post. I'm glad you guys steered me away from it. I'd much rather take more time and try to find a S14.

Thanks
Also I don't really want a Honda for a DD. No offense to anyone, I just don't like them at all.
