Default Lets try something a little different

Hi guys,

I've always liked SC's, and hoped to own one eventually

My 96 240sx SE daily driver was stolen a while back forcing me to drive my track car daily which was a pain in my back and ears. I was hit twice driving my track car on the street so I finally found a good deal on an SC to take over daily duty:



As of right now I am enjoying the soft suspension (kinda) and the reliability of stockness. The lack of power is already irking me as well as the lack of response in the suspension. Im resisting as long as I can but Im sure modifications will ensue.

Here are a few pics of my current track car:



with my brothers Z







ACTION!

A brief history of my car ownership:

Maxima VE5

350SDL




I have also owned 3 SAABs, and LMGT, but I have a special place for straight 6 coupes.
Right now I plan to enjoy soft suspension and stock reliability, but Im sure this thing will end up on the track at some point.

Thanks for looking.

Nice!! I feel at home already lol. I remember your car. I always liked it.
