SR240HB

The place: Southern California

The name: Josh

The car (zips up flamesuit): Modded 1994 i4 Toyota Camry (A/T)

The story: Lives at home, goes to college, works in retail, and loves working on cars.

The problem(s): 2-3 months after buying the Camry I realized I need something turbocharged. My uncle helped me buy this thing and I still owe him money to pay it off. Camry's don't come with stock turbochargers. Becoming very knowledgable about Camry's and finding out turbocharging what I have is both emissions-illegal and pricey. Camrys are wonderful for daily driving but are 3300 lbs, FWD, and A/T.

The solution: Saving up $, paying off my uncle AND...

DUN DUN DUN!

Purchasing a Nissan 240sx W/sr20 Hatchback/Fastback.

I look forward to undertaking the start of this journey in the coming months.

Oh I will good sir



Driving a 120 whp, A/T, FWD, heavy *** sedan for 2 years, while doing a $&^*load of research on turbos, turbo'd cars, ect... AND having a good friend that blows off at me with his SR20 every day I see 'im at work has really motivated me.

Thanks for the warm welcome folks

Have you considered going with a KA? I think in terms of fun the KA takes the cake for beginners. Then when you finally blow it, get the SR or go KA-T.

I have. I'm not entirely sure exactly how I want to do it just yet.

I know a couple of things for sure though, no more FWD, and no more slushbox!

Also hatch > coupe.

My goal is to save up around 2K, sell my camry (probably get 3k or less), then buy the 240.
