Traded my '96 SR20 240sx for it. Plans include 2JZ-GTE/R154 build/sprucing up the interior/paint. Has Stance Coilovers and TT brakes/seats. Will finish the '97 body style swap with rear bumper and maybe the piece above the sideskirts.

Given what the paint has been through, I'm surprised the seats held up that well.

Welcome

Do you have hyperblink with a 92 tail on a 96, or does it only occur if you put 95 tails into a 92?

Welcome
Well the TT seats are newer and in better condition than the rears. I'll just replace the rears eventually.

sell an evo to fund an SC project...now thats a silly idea.

which stances do you have. GR+ or +PRO? the diff is the +PRO have helper springs all around. its nice to buy a car that already has a few basic mods done.

do those wheels have spacers on them or no? if not them i have myself a set of winter wheels sitting around

looks like a nice project, but in all honesty after driving my good friends EVO on RobiSpec V3's for about a week i kinda wanna dump my car for one
im not a comfort man at all. the only requirement i have for the car is heat in the winter.

welcome to CL
