relitives? You say? A fool and his money should never have gotten together in the 1st place. Get the 03 FD, pimp it out to the max, either wreck it or get it stolen. You'll llose everything at once!

180sx's were the older ones, and the 240sx's are the newer ones, but I'm not a big Nissan guy, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I think one had a 1.8L and the other had the 2.4L, hence the 180 and the 240.

Hell, buy a house not a FD. Sheesh. When life hands you the brass ring, please try not to flush it down the toilet.

Automobile technicians can make a good wage, and they are getting hard to find. If Sneakyman likes to hot rod cars, this might be a good career.
