Default What do ya think?

Hey everyone, I just moved to tampa bout a month and a half ago. Just picked up a 240sx last week also. Let me know what you think, its a 90 with about 180k, interior is pretty clean less a small rip on the drivers door and a burn spot or two. Front left end has a slight dent, and right rear also. runs ok, has some slight surging between 2-3k rpm, but other then that seems fine. Tranny shifts a bit high at about 4k. But I plan on doing a s13 sr20 swap with 5 speed conversion anyways. Paint is horrable, but I will get that done when I do the body work.

Paid 450$ for the car, 600$ out the door. Sound like a good deal? I thought so, but I dont know what 240s in this area go for, so I snagged it. Any one have any suggestions on fixing the surging? I got a transmission computer from a friend who said it should fix the shifting a good bit. Can anyone suggest a place to get a s13 sr20 cheap? Also a place that can do the swap and 5 speed conversion with out costing an arm and a leg? Perhaps one of you has a shop or something and can help a guy out? : D My AIM: M374llic4 - Email: M374llic4@yahoo.com - Work phone: (813)979-4400 - EXT. 2038 (Carmax)

If anyone can make any suggestions or anything, or knows some places to chill and such, let me know : D . Im new to the area and dont know any hangouts or car clubs or anything.

Thanks, Dan T.

Pictures speak louder than words. Come out to Quaker Steak and Lube on Thursday nights and show it off. Plenty of Nissan guys will be in attendance.

I recently got my car worked on by XAT in Tampa. They seem to specialize in Nissan cars, since I was the only Honda there. Check out their site http://www.xatracing.com/main.htm and I'm pretty sure they can work on your car. Price was reasonable too.
