Just Picked up a 240sx

Hey, I just got a 91 240sx super hicas. I used to own an acura integra type r. It was cool, long story, its gone. Anyway, I have a list of things I want to get done to the car. First of all I want to to look decent and have a cd player, then I'm going to worry about wheels, tires, suspension. Then exhaust and intake. And then save for an engine swap. Any ideas. Well I was just letting you guys know a bit about my situation.

If your going to save for an engine swap, why get an intake?

well first of all, great choice! congrats on your 240! The market is soooo big for these cars now, its up to you ron looks and all. As far a suspension if you are on a budget kyb agx's are great! and they do fit the hicas models even though alot of people say it wont work ... I have it it works.. If you have any specific questions this forum will be a great rescourse.

Thats right, no point on the intake. hah hah, wasnt thinking. Thanks for the imput on the suspension. How about breaks?
Id rather swap the engine, Ive seen packages with tranny, ecu, wiring harness, etc. For exhaust I was going to get the Apexi N1 dual. Any suggestions, whats a good aftermarket brand for nissans?

Why not save your money and buy a front clip instead of engine,tranny,harness and ecu.

You know as I was browsing for engines I came across the term front clip. Sorry I have to ask but could you explain exactly what a front clip is?

basically a front cut of a car from the dash forward, makes swaps easier because your pretty much guaranteed everything you need for the swap

And that would be everything under the hood basically? Do you know a good place to find front clips? by, everything from the dash up you dont mean the hood and fenders and bumper etc? or do you. Is there a website that I can browse?
