questions from a newbie...

Hey, I'm a newbie and had some questions for all you 240 buffs. First of all, I haven't bought a 240 yet. I'm looking for feedback on coupe vs. hatchback, whether to buy a shell or a decent car. Also, I'm a student and right now I've got about 5 grand to play with. Wondering if i should spend my money on suspension and light wheels or should I do the sr20 swap now vs. later?
Also, what's up with people using rb25? Curious if this hurts handling at all

Hey, welcome to the boards. Its ur prefernce on wut body style u want, im goin for a HB just cus i like how it looks over the coupe. And also if i were u id get a good running 240, and then save up more money for the swap, its ganna be pretty expensive. And the RB25 swap doesnt hurt handling much at all, or not all. If ur scared about the handling u should relocate ur batter to the rear and handling should be just like a S13. Or so i hear

hey HyJynX,
Thanks for the reply so soon man. Where does one get a kit to relocate the battery to the trunk? or do you have to custom fabricate it?

theres a site for a cheap battery reloaction kit, if u want to find more site for battery relo. kits just search on google.com for battery relocation kits and u will find wut u need. You can also do it yourself, just need all the parts and wiring.
