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 and, hi !

 

Welcome! Get er dun!

 

quite the introduction...

welcome

 

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.

 

Good deal dude, welcome.

 

 

eww dave you probably have played with his *****


welcome op search around there is a hand full of info here.

 

 

That's it, the 240s gotta be blue now!



Thanks for all the welcomes, and be prepared for one determined and inquisitive motha fu**er on this board!
