haha. well its a 1991 fastback. Black, 5 speed, 140K gentle miles (old lady), completly stock and unmolested. Body is in good shape, but paint has suffered many years without a buff/ wax (prob. its whole life). Has some sort of aftermarket sunroof that doesn't leak (but you know how that is). and power nothing.
Id snap some pics, but the car is not mine yet... I have to pay the rest off before I can get it in my own hands (i only owe 2,240). That is why you should purchase some of my for sale audio equipment

2,500 is what I am paying.
I just figured it was a decent deal because well is the DOHC, still pulls hard, and its completly stock. (unmolested)
Also, there is basically no rust! That is hard to come by in my area.

I don't pass judgment until I see the finished product, but judging by your list of "modifications" it just seems like you're already headed in the wrong direction. However, as I just mentioned, I'll wait until I see what you do/can do and we'll move on from there . . .

1. Sleepy eyes because I think they look really cool.
2. Rip out back seat and trunk because that is what I always do when i buy a coupe. and quite frankly, the rear end interior is ****ing ugly.
3. Not sure what the shifter fix would be... I have to get into the car more.
4. I want to lower it first thing because it looks like a damn monster truck the way it sits now, and well I'm going with Megan's most likely because I have had great luck with their coilovers in the past.
5. I want to get a nice set of wheels basically because their are steelies on the car that make it look like a ****box. I say FN01RC's because they are my favorite wheel, and I had a set of 17x8's in the past. In the past I had a 99 impreza coupe that i crushed autox's with, I was the only one running a set of 17x8's with 245-40-17 tires with unmodified fenders.
So... With that being said, I would LOVE to hear everyones feedback. Let me know what the bast mods are that I should make first thing. I am not going to worry about the paint for a while because Ill be buying some type of lip kit in the future along with some type of over fenders, or fender flares.
Be honest guys, let me know whats up. Im not a drifter, I prob will never be good at it. but I want to get into the scene. Thats all. (i had a suby. awd in winter= sideways all the time)

its 4 dlls and fixes your wobbling.
i've done it many times on multiple nissans.
its bassically a little plastic that goes on the bottom tip of the shifter.
no need to get a short throw shifter.
and FIRST MOD is to get the car in your drive way.
you owe 2 grand on the car.
good luck
