thanks alot

Yah what you had in mind on doing (before) is what i'm looking for in the future. But it might be hindered because I find 240sx as a very good car to play with

Spend couple thousand already, life savings for a 20-year old. Most valuable investment: ARISTO sidestripe that's now discontinued

It's funny on the SC forum all the SC3 owners ask the SC4 owners the same thing. Why did you get an untuneable V8 when you could have bought an I-6 TT? Well, I'm waiting till I find myself a 98+ GS400 for $18,000 or less, then I will sell my SC400 for $15,000 and vwo-la!! This will be my new home. Trust me, a $18k GS400 can be had

$4500 Audio / Video Upgrade (this week..4 7" TV's, DVD, 2 12's, amp, etc)...should be done in a couple of days. Those square kicker speakers ROCK!!!!...I'm gonna wake up the neighbors..

$3600 Mahdi Caesar TR-5's 19's w/ tires
