Hey hey!

I've been a long time lurker, but I finally made my purchase. 1991 Silvia Conversion, SR20. Honestly, I'm thrilled!

I've come from the Audi community, and I've built my 2002 S4 to a 608whp street beast, which I DD.

Problem is, I really dont know where to start with the 240. I dont plan on doing anything to the engine, because the car will see copious amounts of track duty. But I need to solve it's lack of braking power issue.

It's currently on 16s, and I need a quieter exhaust for the street (I live in Los Angeles). I havent even made a list yet of what it has versus what it needs. I need to replace the rear tires, and I'm running to questions about how wide I can go. There will be ZERO stretching of tires on this car. It's going to be cost effective and complete function over form. It's not in the greatest shape, but it's solid and was a drift car at one time.

I need some input and/or options, so here we go. I would love the input. Photos if you've got em!
