New here from New Mexico

Hey,

I am new to this forum and new to having a street car. I have only ever owned a Ford Explorer and a week ago I bought a 1990 240sx with the 91KA24DE in it. Its Dark Silver with the Origin Aggressive body kit and a Apexi N1 catback exhuast. Other than that its stock. I do not know too much about cars, but I really want to start. My friends have a turbo II FC3S, an '08 S200, a Civic Si, a WS6 Trans Am, A Turboed Talon, and a bunch more. I was tired of being the guy with just an SUV so I became interested in 240sx's, bought one, and now here I am. I look forward to hopefully getting some help from people and maybe making some good friends.

These are cell phone pictures, and my car is dirty, but I will get some better quality ones soon:

well welcome bro.. the s-chassis is a easy beast to tame lol.... stig shut up hahaha.


but yea bro with the ring of guys you have around you and these forums.... you will be sure to catch on fast. I've never built a domestic before, but give me a month and i would be up to par with it all. I say that to say this, there is not much difference between import and domestic except:

-more pistons
-weight
-Big Ego's*


*results may vary


lol


welcome

Welcome to forums... You picked a good chassis to start with g/l with your modifications... If in doubt search and ask questions...

All I heard is faster car, better driver, more precise control of said vehicle, LOL!

ANYWAY!

FILIFIL: I'm loving that car, you plan on doing anything with it, or is it just a street car?
