FL New kid from Florida

Hey, what's up everyone? My name is Shane and I'm 17. I currently own 2 cars, a 1975 Datsun 280z, and my '93 Accord Wagon. As for my Z, I bought it when I was 14, and have been slowly building it. It's lowered, and has a frankenstein turbo swap, Megasquirt, Supra 440cc injectors, and a front mount intercooler. When it's all done I hope to make ~325hp to the wheels. Here's some pics of the Z

When I got it:



What it looks like now:






I'm looking to get into a car with magical spinning triangles.

Haha, thanks guys. I'm really trying to keep the Z, but I might trade it if I can find someone with a FB/FC to trade.

i say if your looking for a project finish the Z and keep it then buy an rx7 for 800-1000 bucks and it might need a little work but its easy for the most part plus you feel better about it everytime you drive it....look at me i bought mine for 500 bucks and dumped only 400 into it so far and it has 78k miles on it, not a bad way to go

That's what I want to do, bt if not I'm down to trade the Z for a nice FB (probably GSL-SE), or a FC
