Thanks guys for the input...as far as mileage...its offical..I picked it up tonight. 96 240sx, 5sp, red(not by choice) with 99k. Runs good as far as I can tell...thanks Mattback for the info on the rocking.

Dan, as far as my goals for the car...and NO, im not by any means a "ricer", I plan on working in a SR swap mainly because I've always wanted to own a turbo'd car and have the need for more power. Power goals for me realistically would be around the 350-400whp. I want to the car to be a 12 second street car. Im assuming that range should get me there...if not, then I'll have to re-adjust my goals. I like the 1320, but I've been reading up on drifting in the USA today and have heard that theres a track possibly opening up in Orlando in the near future, so Im going to give both of them a shot. Only thing is...Im not looking forward to changing out my tires so frequently as I've read you would have to do if you are a serious drifter. But that aspect of the goals of my car is dependant on having time away from work. I will work on the motor side first as far as the basic sr swap with tuning, then I'll work my way over to the suspension side...then I plan to move back over to the motor side to bump up the hp once I get some solid suspension/brake upgrades done, then I plan to finish off the exterior with a (I know some dont like it, but I do...and yes I know how much it costs...its just something I like, thats all) JDM conversion like the one pictured here.





OR if the S15 is TOO much $$ and TOO difficult, then I'll opt for the JDM S14 pictured here.





Im hoping the S15 is within my range down the road..but thats a while...and just something I would like to do with the car if the funds/time is available. I would obviously change the color of the car as well and add a nice/useful set of wheels.

I know the exterior sounds far fetched...but its something I know I can get done..but not a priotity at all.
