just a really clean daily pretty much and i like the KA N/A route cause i have always driven KA's so i am just going to stick with something that has lasted me a long time. but over all i just want a well rounded car something with some decent power and can handle well and last me a long time hopefully till i can give it to my daughter.

nope stickin with the good ole' KA the engine has been good to me so far, so i figure why not keep it. and besides i really havent seen much performance parts for a decent price. but i was thinking of a nicly built SR N/A though but it would cost tp much as well.

okay since i last posted about this i have got alot of stich welding done on this but there is still a ton of shit that can get done to it to but i will be going to rebuild an engine and hopefully hit somewhere near 200HP, and notice i am not saying anything about hitting 200 i want something near 200 hopefully i can do it but the suspension is all in the car an what not so its not all jacked up like a monster truck. and hopefull when i get it running i can lower it a bit more to tuck the wheels and roll the fenders a little bit.

What are you thinking suspension wise? You know, there are a lot of people who sell their used suspension when they upgrade to something gnarly. Check out the 240 forums and keep an eye out!

i will be keeping all my old suspension i have almost a full upgrade on suspension just minus a few things but i will be getting soon
as far as aero goes i would like to get the PDM front lip for the 91-94 240 with some stock 180sx sideskirts from the same place and maybe a wangan spoiler but all that will have to wait cause the car needs to go to the body shop to get repainted white but other than that not to much on areo

sort of we got a little bit further on welding but not to much got my suspension swaped over and most of my stuff i just need to find a KA in the junk yard tear it down and throw it back together with some stock engine parts but i should be making more HP and TQ numbers basiclly building a hybrid KA with minimal aftermarket parts and be able to make a few extra ponies than the last KA i had, but really havent had alot of time to work on it so she has been sitting there but i might be picking up a 70' datsun 510 4dr so i can drive around and let the fiancee have her car back from me borrowing it, and i can take more time on getting my 240 done and built right the first time and make it last a long time...

well i found an engine for her but it needs some work i havent been able to tear it completely down but i will soon i have a couple of extra blocks and some cranks and some heads, but i will see what happens, i may take one good block, crank and head get them machined get specs for them and do a full engine build and this engine WILL rev out to 8k RPM's

My 7m could rev out to 8k... likely not more than once or twice though.
