Default New Car....Big plans for it....

Hey all, My name is Enrique, I have a 90 240sx coupe that im working on..(wheels,suspension,sr20det,) the works, I also had a 240sx hatchback...I sold the hatchback. then i picked this red 95 sc300 you see here before your eyes. I have been browsing through the site way before I picked the sc300 up. I would love to get the car lowered, swaybars, suspension arms. Vertex lip kit. wheels and window tint, i like the interior the way it is...i more want it as a daily driver...nothing dramatic. The car has 194k on the odo. but the 2jz feels awsome. i just gotta watch out for the ps steering pump failing on me and stuff. well you guys let me know what ya think!!! open to sugestions/opinions.

(Big Plans? Looks like you're done, man, Congratulations) This is like my SC's evil red twin with the same gold-plated theme. Looks beautiful, I really like red SCs, and gotta love the black interior.

Indeed, 4k is a steal. These cars come cheap when the 200k mi mark is looming. For us, we really don't care with the mileage, swapping is so easy. Great find. i'd get rid of the gold exhaust tips though...

ummmm i dont remember i usually dont go hin, the last time i went was last july here in san deigo.....im from san diego btw!......even though the car has 194k it looks to be that it was previously owned by a military officer or something, it has camp pendleton service stickers all over it lol, maybe the car was diven in the highway a lot cuz it has a lot of aint chips in the front bumper....thanks for your comments guys i really apreciate it.! the crowd here seeems to be a lot different than the nisssan forums....more mature on here.........(i surf the nissan community aswell)
