I'm getting an alignment for it today. It shakes when I go over bumps lol. The only mod i wanna do is find new wheels for it. And I'll need more reliable winter tires once winter hits. Oh, and I wanna put hid for headlights but might need a new front end (thinking about Silvia front with duel halogen lights) since now it has those pop up bug lights on the hood.

It's a s13. I'll take pix once it gets back from the shop. I'm getting it checked out & putting new breaks on & recharging the AC & doing an alignment. I should be getting it back tonight.

I know exactly what you mean! After driving this, I feel so spoiled when I get in my lex. Just makes me appreciate her that much more

That brown interior's got to go!! ha ha

Nice, I see its a base model coupe. Trust me, you don't need a rear spoiler on that one. If you have to have one, get the BMW M5 (E39 chassis) rear lip spoiler. Its nice and small.

As much as I love my IS300, I enjoy driving the 240sx better. I feel more connected to the car/road compared to the isolated feeling when driving the IS.

But hey, don't mind me. I've thought about getting a Mazda Miata. My friends know I can get in a lot of trouble driving underpowered, responsive cars canyon carving, not drifting.
